The King of Fighters

There are some movies that if you are fan of what is about to be told in that movie, you can say "errr.. It's a bad movie i know but what can i do? i love this cartoon/anime/video game etc."

i have been playing KoF games more than 11 years but i have never imagined that a movie about this game would be so painful to me. It was total agony. All the characters obviously have been killed by the script writers. Cast is dead. There is a soundtrack in the movie but believe me, if the movie would be a movie without soundtrack no one would argue that.

Everything was 'so' awful in this movie that i couldn't believe this movie took rating more than 2.

Total mediocre. Pain. Agony. Disaster. Catastrophic.

0/10

The King of Fighters is based from a video game of the same name. As far as adaptations go, this film is a lousy one. It is mediocre, lame & cheesy. Except for the CGI who gave this film a little bit of oomph, the other aspects fall flat.

Fans of the game would be very disappointed with this film, as they have expected more than this. The casting is poor, Ms. Maggie Q included. The acting was unbelievable, and lacks any impression.

I expected more from this film, and it is very disappointed to have to watch this mediocre film for the hour and a half I spent which was a waste of time.

Seriously,what the heck those Hollywood guys think?

I mean this story is based on the game that involved ancient japan folklore with obviously with Asian characters as the central story so anyone can tell KYO KUSANAGI is a Japanese,and i can't even see a bit of oriental in Kyo,not to be racist but ,now Sean Farris as Kyo??no offense man but you're not even close,grow some hairy face and cast yourself as Ralf--The most acceptable character for this movie storyline but unfortunately left out--and leave Kyo's casting to any young Asian movie star.

Not just this movie,look at DoA,Tekken,and Dragon Ball,as a fan of those games & anime title it truly hurts me to see kazuya not played by an Asian,hell even goku changed stayed as a super saiyant all the time in the movie version??

And finally : Maggie Q as Mai Shiranui,google for Mai Shiranui and you'll see there's no physical resemblance apart from the long hair and slim legs.

Definitely this is one of the most horrible adaption movie.

Please don't waste your time watching this movie!! Its horrific to see how low budget movie production houses and poor unprofessional directors try to make a movie from a franchise and twist the original characters and story and fan support into a pathetic show of a movie which is nothing but a complete joke.

I mean I was speechless once I was able to finish this movie after keeping myself in the chair in hope that the director would come up with something better. But Alas, it was the same joke again n again.

You could tell at every step of the movie that its a low budget movie with directions so horrible that the actors are stiff, dialogues not in place, the tiny bit of special effects being forwarded to make it faster. Like for gods sake, you couldn't make the Orochi ball into a little bit better display??? If you can't make a good movie, then please don't screw up the original story board and the KOF name.

Anyone with the slightest taste in movies should stay a million miles away from this movie. The whole production house and director should be ashamed of what they have done. Me, a proud fan of KOF, disgusted beyond saying to see this movie.

I gave this a 3 out of 10 just in respect for efforts to make a film and when the color's adjusted the picture's visually pleasing in HD. An advice if you are going to watch it, increase the contrast and turn down the brightness then it will look great on an HD TV.

If you are a King of Fighter fan and you follow its story then it is best not to watch it. If you are looking for character reasonableness, don't watch it. 10% of the movie is based on the game, the rest a high budget softcore, action, soap opera hybrid.

Plot basics: Jabra Bluetooth headset transports fighters to a tournament in another dimension. Hot chick fighter gets fall into a love triangle. Martial arts demonstration with some CGI.

Film makers please stop abusing video game titles just to attract more viewers.
