I am at the point where I can say that no video games should be turned into movies. Street fighter, Mario brothers, Doom, Hitman.... the list goes on and they all suck.
A few video game movies were "OK", Silent hill, Resident Evil, and Tomb Raider were somewhat entertaining but would never make my top 100 movies of all time list.
Fighting games are limited, what else are you going to base it on, they all end up looking like a poor mans blood sport rip off.
Tekken looks really bad, the whole dark blade runner-esque background, the fight scenes, the ugly costumes. The cast for these movies always suck, they take bad ass characters and let these boy band looking kids play them with boyish voices. The girls are always hot but the acting is a few notches over porn star acting. Trust me I don't look for oscar worthy performances in these movies, I do not expect top notch acting, but when its unbearable it becomes hard to watch.
I love my corny bad films with stupid plots like Gozilla, old kung flicks, Flash Gordon, Barbarella, my dvd collection is full of them. Those are the movies that are so bad that they are good, then you have movies that are just bad... like this.
