Review of The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007) by Kurt F — 18 Jun 2009

King of Kong is a sports documentary that so wildly entertaining that you forget that it's actually about video game players. The plot is so graceful and gripping that it makes you wonder whether the filmmakers were using reality or an emotional follow through when deciding how to present the story (a suspicion that a cursory glance over the film's Wikipedia page quickly gives credence to).

But in the end all that matters is that the story is in the film, and that it's something that anyone will easily be able to watch and find meaning in.
