It doesn't look bad. Looks like a teen-flick, though. Acting looks horrible, but the action looks fun. And, I'm just curious as to how some of the characters will be realized.
The initial cut of Tekken was given an NC-17 rating for "Strong Stylized Graphic Violence", but was appealed. The appeal was denied, and about 5 minutes of the film was cut in order to secure an "R" rating. The official rating for Tekken is R on appeal for "Intense Sequences of Sustained Violent Martial Arts Action and Violence Throughout, Sexual Content/Nudity, Language and Some Drug Use".
See the Wiki article for actors.
The guy playing Eddy Gordo is an actual capoeira fighter. I watched some of his vids on youtube and I was blown away by his finesse.

Wow. That's a bit much for a Tekken movie, isn't it?
But, I'm glad they went for an R rating. It's about damn time a movie was made to fit it's adaptation, and not just to make money. I'm referring to the Wolverine Origins film....and many others that were babied down to a PG-13 beacuse they wanted a less-mature audience.
However, the games were ALL rated teen or somewhere along those lines. So, it's odd that they'd take it to a mature level.
Still, it looks like a teen-flick: overly saturated with pop-culture ideas, attitudes, and references. Meaning, it would look incredibly cheesy and horribly in 15 years...just like every other pop-culture laden film.
I'll still see it, though, as I am an avid player. Love playing as Lei Wulong, Law, and Eddie. I played as Lei and Eddie because they both can fight really well up high and low, for those idiots who like to block forever and ever. I used Law, mostly, because I won a couple of tournaments in highschool with him.
