Fighting games that have never had a plot to speak of have been adapted into movies, and the plot will always be the biggest criticism. Fortunately, since the launch of the "Tekken" game in December 1994, the game's plot has been enriched a lot, and each fighting character has a detailed background and hobbies, which is a lot easier for film adaptations. Although this adaptation somewhat respects the storylines of some games, perhaps because the characters in the game are too complex and rich, compared to the storyline of this film, they appear to be very single and weak. of enmity.

The other heavyweights of interest have become soy sauce barrels neatly arranged for viewing, without any simple background introduction. Even the love between Kazama Ren and his girlfriend Christie Montero was untouched and passed over. If you think that these are not the focus and that fighting is the focus, you will be even more disappointed. There are no exciting fighting moves, let alone Zhang Guan and Li Dai's messy piecing together a few moves, and even the most basic nirvana has not come up with one and a half moves, it is completely the weak debut of an American wrestling king.

Even the special effects of the adaptation of the fighting game have to be omitted, so let everyone watch the shrimp. The biggest mistake of this film is that it recruited Americans to participate in the production of oriental kung fu films. How can people who only believe in muscle mass understand the terms Baguazhang, split hanging boxing, Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do, and karate. The martial arts vocabulary, let alone let them show the essence of these kung fu. All the battles in the film are over in no more than three or two minutes, plus the repeated outbreak of the male protagonist's small universe, and the final battle against the BOSS is an instant victory. In such an adapted fighting movie, in comparison, the simple plot of a son PK father is better than a fighting scene with no bright spots.
