VIDEO GAME MOVIES

Posted on 10:50 AM by Unknown
The king of fighters (2010)


Plot:  Something about an alternate dimension were people go to have a rumble.   Plot we don't need no stinking plot just a set up for some fighting.  Rugal (Ray Park) aims to do devious bollocks to gain power, changing the rules and becoming king of that dimension, poisoning our own.    Mai Shiranui (Maggie Q),  Kyo Kusanagi (Sean Faris) and  Iori Yagami (Will Yun Lee) are the only ones who can stand in his way, plus some CIA dude who turns out to be Mai's partner s shes undercover for some reason and wearing a hat helps............. Oh Ive lost the plot.

Is it good: No, Even by video game adaptations this is bad but it had potential,  The film had a budget, named action stars like Maggie Q & Sean Faris plus Darth Maul himself Ray Park.
 The CGI effects are not that bad.  The action is choreographed well (if a little slow) and some nice moves put in. 

The opening scene Maggie Q's game character is reviled as the, incredibly short mini skirted with suspenders, Mai (awesome).  Plus the other fighting chicks are pretty hot.

 Will Yun Lee actually looks like a computer generated character.

Turdige: A confusing pretty pointless plot.  This does not in itself spoil an action movie (pretty much expected as plots are not a regulatory requirement) but it spends far too much time trying to indulging in it.  

The end were most of the action takes place is confusingly & boring rather than just a Good V Evil battle.

Bizarrely in the flash back scene Sean Faris was Asian when he was younger.  Now he looks like a cross between a young Tom Cruise (needing a shit) and Jay from the Inbetweeners. 


These tournament/martial arts movies should be easy to make get a bunch of kick ass fighters with killer moves, do some basic pointing "look this guy is good these guys are evil" (or just make them look good/evil)  set them in a tournament together with an objective to win (world will end or something weird like kidnap an elephant The Protector (2005)) and spend an hour of the movie just fighting, that's what people who go to these movies want to see. 



Overall:   Worth a look if your only other option is the next Adam Sandler atrocity.  Watch Tekken (2011), Mortal Kombat (1995), or even Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) & DOA: Dead or Alive (2006) instead.  On a brighter note its not House of the Dead (2003) bad.
 Director: Gordon Chan Cast: Ray Park, Maggie Q, Sean Faris, Will Yun Lee, David Leitch
