“Tekken: Kazuya’s Revenge (2014)” movie review.

"Tekken 2: Kazuya's Revenge" is technically a prequel, but it doesn't even fit within the continuity of the first movie and somehow manages to be an even more unfaithful adaption of the video games. Even worse than that, it's REALLY, REALLY boring.

At times, I WISHED it would become atrocious simply so I could feel SOMETHING as I endured it. But a las, I was overcome by its blandness.

I actually like “The Hobbit” more than the latter two sequels because it is a return to what I liked about the original. Yet I also can't deny that it is the most flawed of the Peter Jackson-Lord of the Rings adaptations.
