darkmattervii As one other person reviewed this so accurately, it definitely is a FAIL.First of all...the main character you could say is Mai...Mai is a decent character in the game...but if anyone has seen her in anime cartoons such as fatal fury and is a fan of her character you will be finding this rendition of her ridiculous.Mai basically seems to be the strongest character in the movie basically. She's Terry Bogard's side kick...what of Terry Bogard? HORRIBLE he's way older than the other characters, has short hair, when you finally see him in action he's slow, his costume is RIDICULOUSLY STUPID I would have been happy to at least see him use one of his moves from the game AT LEAST....Kyo Kusanagi is a joke....Iori...same here...fight scenes with him were not bad but..the story just totally RUINS THE MOVIE...Rugal...I like the actor who played him, He is favored by many people but...he just doesn't fit in the movie...I got bored and found the movie on netflix while was browsing...I can't believe I sat through the entire movie...if you're thinking of renting or buying this movie...no matter how big of a fan you are DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.Instead check out the latest anime they have. Theirs short small episodes that are really cool to watch wonderfully done.all in all..Story 0/10 character resemblance 1/10 action 2/10 special effects 1/10 suspense 0/10 ending 0/10 Movie lacks basic plot, character resemblance, special effects are poorly done, no suspenseful moments and when you finally reach the end of the movie you are left with your jaw dropping thinking OH MY GOD.....ARE YOU SERIOUS?........

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.

callanvass (Credit IMDb) Live-action feature based on the video game "King of Fighters". The King of Fighters was shredded of all it's dignity as soon as it entered post-production in my opinion. It was doomed to fail from the start. Despite what you may think, it features some promising talent, but it's certainly not displayed here in any way. The fight scenes feel cartoonish, the production values feel cheap, and I felt like I was watching a boring video-game that had no pride in itself. It doesn't help that most of the characters are corny and unlikable. Maggie Q is the only thing watchable about this movie. What hurts this movie the most though, is the cheesy storyline. I didn't find it to be believable what-so-ever, nor did it provide any entertainment value. Performances. Maggie Q is decent as the lead, and manages to come out of this crap alive somehow. She is much better then the film deserves, and it shows. Sean Farris has promise as an actor, but here his arrogance is his downfall. Unlike Forever Strong where he balanced it with charisma, that is nowhere to be seen here. Will Yun Lee has intensity but that's about it. Ray Park is much too comical and OTT to be effective. He basically threw it away to ham it up like a buffoon as the villain. David Leitch is OK as the agent but nothing more. Francoise Yip is pretty bland in her role, spurting some atrocious dialogue.Bottom line. This deserves its bad reputation. You are wasting 90 minutes of your life that you could easily be doing something with, much more worthwhile. People call Street Fighter bad? At least it knew it was, and managed to make the movie fun. This has none of that. Avoid in every way possible.2/10

ufukozdes 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
