the audience applauded

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters is an amazingly simple documentary that I couldn't help but get emotionally involved in. Very well done -- a must-see.

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..

I connect more with this than "Man on Wire", mostly because I know more about video games than walking tightropes. The movie does a good job of showing just how seriously some people can be about gaming. It might just be points to some, but it's a passion and obsession for others. It sounds simple in theory, just get a high score on Donkey Kong, but it's a lot harder than that. While I found myself laughing at the people in this almost as much as laughing with them, I did enjoy the movie. The rivalry Mitchell and Wiebe is interesting, albeit exaggerated. I wouldn't see this again anytime soon, but it was an entertaining watch, and an interesting subject to cover.

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.
