Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
junsheng_chen This is so poorly done that even it makes the other Fighting Game movies look good. Sub-Zero effort in casting, costumes, direction etc. Couldn't even pronounce the character names properly, much less bothered to know the basic/signature abilities of each. Even kids playing with plastic swords put up a better fight sequence. Save your time and life, do not bother with this "movie".
Ty Lee As a true KOF fan I thought this movie was more than I expected. From start to finish, the characters were great, my favorite was Rugal (played by Ray Park who is notable for his roles as Darth Maul, Snake eyes etc). Maggie Q who is one of my favorite actresses play Mai, and very well at that. Iori looked extremely elaborated, his costume was great and so was his fighting. Kyo Kusanagi did a great job, his acting, his costume, everything about him, and his fighting was great. Mr. Big from the Art of Fighting shows up in the beginning of the film, he faces Mai, great addition to the film, I couldn't believe they included him. The story is extremely well adapted to the game, The basic plot is that they have to retrieve the Kusanagi sword which Rugal stole, it was one of the three relics. Iori, like in the game holds the orochi, which contains infinite power, which is why he stopped fighting in order to prevent him from hurting anyone, like Kyo's father, Saisyu Kusanagi. Overall, Great Movie to a great game!
Adil Aeh I wasn't expecting much from this movie knowing that video game adaptations usually suck... but I was really surprised.The King Of Fighters strikes the right mix between "realism" (taking fantasy characters and give them a boring normal life) and video game movie adaptation for the fans (and kids).Without spoiling anything, basically in this movie you have two universes (literally): one in which the characters live normal lives with normal clothes and normal laws of physics, and then there's an alternate universe where things look like the video game, with the over the top costumes, fire balls and super jump kick flip lopping whatever! That separation was really smart knowing that the KOF video game had some pretty ridiculous costumes and moves.The story requires a fair doze of disbelieve to be suspended... but it's worth it if only for the fight scenes and ridiculously funny dialogs.Violence is kept in check, so feel free to buy this for your kids (not too young though!).
ryonss I am a KOF fan since 1991 when Fatal Fury King of Fighters was made.Sad to say that director has broken all KOF fans heart.Before making a KOF movie one should understand the true inspiration of King of Fighters. No costumes,not a complete KOF story,they have changed the story,no main characters,no stages and environment,no musics from KOF,no character matching sense,no heights of players,no hairstyles,no KOF action,no nothing!Just forget the name of the movie just watch it as just an another movie,action is great and acting is good, a funny thing is that the action of this movie is given by the CIA agent Terry Bogard :>I am giving 9 for this movie thinking in mind that I have not seen KOF in my life.
