I wont start my blog post with "King Of Fighter SUCKS" lets be nice now, we all have mothers....and it wasnt THAT sucky like street fighter Chun Li version (half way thru street fighter i forgot what i was watching) The thing is, before they make this movie evryone noes it's gonna suck but at least make a good sucky movie. I dun mind watching good sucky movie coz its kinda like a guilty pleasure to me where u just watch senseless violance on the screen and not have to crack ur head to noe whats happening like Inception. First of all , story line, this movie TRIES too hard to have a storyline. B4 i watch this movie i already noe the storyline is gonna suck, u cant blame the director, ANY video game storyline that gets translated into movie probably gonna suck coz in movie u cannot have characters talking like this, "I have to collect the Power orbs to gain the shield of immortality so that i can UPGRADE to level 30!!!" but atleast dun try so hard, half the movie involves the "fighters" investigating the paranormal. and dun get me started with the script writing, in this movie u have one of THE MOST CHEESIEST lines ever like," Follow ur destiny!","Believe in urself!" or "U kill my father I KILL U!" (not exact phrasing but sumthing like that) The cheesiest line is probably when they wanted to visit a guy in the hospital, this is wat the nurse said "He has locked himself in his own world, his own lonely world" NO AVERAGE PAID GOVERMENT WORKER WILL EVER TALK LIKE THAT! Ok the fighting scene is okay. MUCH better than Street Fighter where people just stand around take a few kicks...and die. Abit more action in the fight but sumtimes it gets a little blurry u dunnoe who is hitting who. Ok the characters may NOT use the moves they use in the game, cant really blame the director for that coz imagine Terry does his bicycle spinning kick in the movie, its not even logical, nobody can spin their body like that, but ATLEAST TRY to make it a LITTLE similiar to the game for example, not giving Kyo a FREAKING SWORD. Yes i am not joking, he fight with a sword in the whole movie and at the end of the movie...IT TURNS INTO A FREAKING LIGHT SABER! Not joking man, not joking. One thing i appreaciate about the movie is how detaily they explain why people can do flaming kicks and Hardogen! flaming balls saying that when they into a different dimension they can do all those. Ok, not bad. Ok next, character similarity, again, dun blame the director for not making the character look exactly like the video games, lets face it, Japanese will never have natural Red hair or blonde hair. But look at Terry Bogard compared with the movie and the game.
Not to say he is not handsome just...he is not very Terry. The Iori was ok. The Kyo was American. The Mai, oh well Maggie Q and she seem to be more like the main character in the movie.
i din make the picture above, some other haters did.
