Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

InspireGato Film Perfection

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

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

screampunk This... is the worst movie to ever claim to be based on a video game. No one should ever be subjected to this cinematic abortion if they know anything about KoF. The creators should be tied to a mast & flogged, along with everyone involved in its production.It has absolutely NOTHING to do with KoF, other than the constant name-dropping of characters & mcguffins, and not a single one of the actors actually resembles the character they're apparently playing in any way; the characters themselves have been completely stripped of everything in the source material bar their names. This abomination of a movie is the most insulting thing to KoF fans that could ever have been produced, and you honestly have to wonder how anyone involved in the production managed to convince this many people that such a badly-acted, badly-written, badly-referenced string of complete disregard for the source material could ever have been a good idea.

Shawn Curry I am gonna get this out of the way right off. I am a fan of the King of Fighters video game series, and I found out this movie existed around the time the live action Tekken (a better movie and more accurate to the source)which i think was like a year after it's release, and i was excited..... until i seen the cover... a movie based on a video game where the main character is 100% Japanese, where the same main character is played by a white guy who doesn't eve remotely look nor is blood related to anyone Japanese... and then Mai played by Maggie Q.... don't get me wrong i think she is good... but she is also playing a Japanese character and she is flat chested, where as Mai the character is WELL KNOWN for well a bigger chest.. and don't get me started on Chizuru, Terry Bogard, Iori (though he was a little more accurate to the character than the others), and Rugal (I like the actor but his portrayal was a little short :P and too goofy for Rugal)..Anyway complete character misrepresentation complaining aside, this movie is a train wreck from the word go... from Mai's intro, to the almost immediate introduction to the "alternate/virtual world", to the poorly dressed Mr Bigg (he was poorly dressed in the games anyway) the whole thing stinks of bad, then it never gets better, and as much as i wanted to know at first what was up between those two... i just don't care after a while because the guy isn't there long. then eventually they introduce (not)Kyo, and i never would have known if it was if someone didn't say in the movie... seriously the same for most of the other characters too, especially Terry Bogard. a lot more of the plot also isn't explained to well, or not at all, like how the "bluetooth virtual/dimensional manipulabobs" work, or what exactly happened to kyo's father (not even a flashback.. this movie does have its moments, mostly from this movies version of Rugal, who to me is a goof, a stark contrast to the serious, deadlier, and just plain mean (seriously he kept the bodies of the fighters he defeated and killed as trophie), and not to mention taller Rugal Bernstein.the one thing about the story that it gets right is the 3 sacred treasures part, and thats really it.the acting isn't that great, even on the part of the actual good actors in the movie, the "alternate/virtual world" costumes are the "try to hard to be accurate to the games" (like street fighter the movie... but i actually like that movie) type and they come off as stupid. the fight choreography is meh with a few good fight scenes (though not the ones you would want to be good), and special effects, and props that feel completely out of place in king of fighters. I personally feel this movie is destined to bargain bin status, and im being generous with a 2 out of 10, and if you want any sort of king of fighters story outside of the games, look for the manga.

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.

kok_shangtang If you have seen Street Fighter (with Jean Claude van Damme) and you've thought it was the worst movie ever, then this will be the one to replace its place. The story is nothing near the game, most characters are not from the same nationality as in the game. The clothes (their trademarks) are different from the game and where are the special moves?? Each one of the characters had their trademark moves and specialities, most of them had like superpowers (fireballs, lighting etc.). As how the technology is now, it is easy to make those like in the game, so where is it? It's a very disappointing movie, I watched this one after watching Tekken, and Tekken is much better.
