Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Keith P I'm looking at some of the reviews and it just cracks me up. To those that haven't played the game and followed it's storyline, the movie was just a below average action movie without hardly a unique story. It was simple to tell what was going to happen in the end. The "bad guy" was a terrible actor who made the movie felt like it was an updated version of Power Rangers. The effects were pretty lame as well... I know it was a low budget but most of the action scenes looked fake.The Pros? This movie had a few hot chicks. Maggie Q is hot and there were some turn on scenes. The picture was actually pretty good too and I think most of the money went to that.The Cons? Pretty much the whole movie.. With Maggie Q you could have gotten a little more attention if she did a "dirty scene" There was the other 2 fighter girls which would have probably attracted some attention. The action was below average. The cast was just plain lame. The "bad guy" was just a laugh and the story was just simple with hardly any concept put in it. So 3/10

lewiskendell "Wow, this just keeps getting better and better."The King of Fighters is more like the king of movies that have absolutely nothing to do with their source material. That's right, it even knocks Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li off its lofty perch, and almost reaches the heights of Super Mario Bros. You won't recognize any of the characters unless they mention their names, and even then you'll probably think you misheard them (prepare to choke on whatever you're eating or drinking when you're introduced to "Terry Bogard"). The story is incomprehensible, and even the characters freely and often admit that they have no idea what's going on. I wouldn't even know it was a King of Fighters movie if people didn't insist on saying "King of Fighters" as often and as awkwardly as possible. Any and all entertainment to be derived from this will come purely from how outright hilarious it is in its awfulness. If there was any kind of script written down beyond drunken scribbles on a stained bar napkin, I'd be shocked. The dialogue is terrible, the actors don't even seem to understand what they're saying (I know I didn't), and the fight scenes are adequate at best, inexplicable much more often, and until the end, they're usually over in a few seconds either way. On the positive side, the cinematography is occasionally good, there are frequent opportunities for laughs, and Maggie Q. is hot. Absolutely nothing like the character she's supposed to be portraying and so slender it looks like you'd blow her away by breathing on her too hard, but still hot. The chick playing Vice was pretty sexy, too. That's about it for the "pros" column.    If you can't appreciate massive levels of camp and unintentional humor, don't come near this. If you can, prepare to laugh and have a pretty great time mocking King of Fighters. It's so bad that it's wonderful. Until the end, that is. The last part of the movie is a boring, seemingly endless fight that basically grinds the fun to a halt. It becomes pretty obvious around that time that most of the $12 million budget was spent on CG fireballs. And of course, the door is left open for a sequel. Because the filmmakers knew we'd all be demanding that. This definitely is in no way, shape, form, or fashion a "good" movie, but it was a highly entertaining train-wreck...for a while. Fans of the games will be even more amused/horrified.

Jan Strydom THE KING OF FIGHTERS is another game to film adaptation that wasn't so well received by fans of the game, of course I never played the game so to me the film is a great time passer but I think kids that are about 6 or 7 would probably go "This is the coolest movie ever" I personally thought TEKKEN was better without comparing it to the game, because the fight scenes were better and it was a lot more fun to watch.The acting in this film wasn't bad, the only cast members I recognized were Maggie Q (DIE HARD 4) Sean Faris (NEVER BACK DOWN) and Ray Park (HELLBINDERS) the rest of the cast I don't remember ever seeing, some of them did look vaguely familiar.Overall, there is not much else to write a review about except that the CG effects looked a bit tacky but I would rather recommend TEKKEN, not because its a good game to film adaptation but because its more entertaining and the fight scenes are way better and so are the effects.

wil_evo I should have given it 1/1000 if it is possible. The storyline is none like the original anime. I think producers should stop producing game based movies...they all suck. Have u ever seen the anime KOF or the game version? Kyo is a Japanese for heaven sake...not American. Why is Rugal so skinny and what the hell is he doing with Hockey? Where are all the trademark moves? Even I myself can direct a better movie than you Gordon!!! This is a stupid movie and just by watching it alone i felt furious. This is an insult to the KOF brand image. To all those who planned to watch this, do yourself a favor and just watch sponge bob at home.
