Too much of everything

Brilliant and touching

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Billy Tempest was one of the Main financial investers for Twin Galaxies. If you really want to waste your time on something. Watch this.. Not much of a story, other than the fact he was a cheater. And he manipulated a good arcade into ruining their reputation as a place to hold arcade world records..

From the bad hair to the political machinations around something that virtually no one cares about, this is definitely a case of truth being stranger than fiction. A fascinating look into a community that most would think no longer existed. It is like going back in a time machine. This is an anthropological study that puts Margaret Mead to shame.The story is pitted as a classic tale of Good vs. Evil, and it holds up for the most part except Mr. Good is some guy who's ignoring his kids so he can sit in front of an arcade game in his garage for hours on end. And he's the most normal person in the film! (with the exception of his poor wife).Highly entertaining, highly recommended.

Who would have guessed that a documentary about gamers obsessed with scoring a world record at Donkey Kong would not only be roaringly funny but serve as a metaphor for the decline of Western civilization? Using Billy Mitchell's need to stay champ and Steve Wiebe's need to beat him, director Seth Gordon deftly manages to show how age, marriage, fatherhood and so-called ethical thinking will not stop man's need to go to war, no matter how stupid the reason.King of Kong is a wonderful trip down memory lane, especially for us gamers who grew up in the '80s. If you ever played the old arcade games or video console, you simply must see this movie.I have seen it over and over again :)

This is a heart warming perfectly made documentary i am not a video gamer particularly but i felt so involved. Kudos to Seth Gordon for his exciting and greatly crafted masterpiece and thank you. The well chosen score along with a well edited film shoots this high into my top ten documentaries with a subject that i would normally consider as banal.This film is not simply about video games, it is full of tension and conflict, it is more about the pursuit of perfection and competition. It turns into the good versus evil David versus Goliath with the hero and the villain which may not be completely accurate but i do feel that this was necessary to allow us to relate to the film and so poetic license was used and should be forgiven for the sake of our entertainment. This documentary really could not have been better..... Enjoy peoples ))))))
