Review of The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007) by Snotchocheez — 16 Sep 2009

"Gaming Geek" or not, this is a great documentary film about two guys competing to achieve the Worlds highest score on the aged classic "Donkey Kong". The two competitors are opposite sides of the spectrum, one coming across like some corporate, manipulating Geek King of video games, whose hanger-on entourage follow him like disciples of the Devil-the other a mild n' meek underachieving family man whose own family doubt.

The latter not only has to beat the seemingly unbeatable score of his nemesis-but also the almost evil network of followers who try to trip him up based on blind faith of the self professed Geek gaming God.

I could not believe how good this gets as the various real life evets unfold and if you think Rocky is the story of the underdog-wait till you check this out. A real gem.
