Title: King of Something, but not of fighters
Review: Ok. Let me go on record as saying the movie is ok. Maggie Q delivers a good performance, but she is no Mai. Ray Park is supposed to be Rugal and the Rugal i know never skateboarded. I give the movie credit in the creation of a virtual world tournament and the attempt at a story line. deviation from the source is not a good thing. No video game based movie that deviates from the source is great. The reason for the success of Mortal Kombat and Tekken is that they stay mostly true to their source. KOF is a tournament not a showcase for ok acting. If you a fan of King of Fighters do not take this movie seriously. If you are a fan of Maggie Q please watch Preist or Nakita before juding her fighting and acting potential. If you are looking to kill two hours while not playing the game then this is ok. Better than watching grass grow and on par with Street Fighter the movie. It falls just short of Legend of Chun-Li and that is saying quite a bit.
Is the review positive or negative?
