While even some of the worst videogame (and general) adaptations from the 1990s had charm or a sense of silly weirdness to them, nothing can be defended in most of the adaptations made after 2000, this one in particular being the most pointless waste of money possible, completely empty, boring and for one or two interesting ideas having many more generic and atrocious ones. It suffocates its viewer in pointless strands of plot and then crushes one's head with its tedium. Just avoid.

This movie fails on every possible angle. A. I don't know what King of Fighters is, but this movie is a awful, confusing bore-fest, complete with terrible acting, terrible fighting, and terrible everything. It completely fails as a film. B. I am a King of Fighters superfan, and this movie is grievously offensive in the way that not a single character resembles their game counterpart in any way. Let me just lay this on you. "Terry Bogard, Suit-Wearing FBI Agent!

A shitty film with an iffy story, a bad guy who in no way should be a bad guy, a CIA guy who in no way should be a CIA guy and rambling confusing dialogue about passages to the dimensional door? A sword and a necklace? Urojin? Ball of snakes? What? I dunno something like that. One small reprieve - sexy leather clad lesbian assassins

Absolutely horrible on all fronts, but really... from a low budget movie based on a somewhat niche fighter what did you expect? For what it's worth, it can be pretty entertaining trying to find all the things terrible with this piece especially if you're a fan of the games like I am. Ray Park pulls off some amazingly campy moments which never fail to amuse.

When a cult/niche video game series is adapted into a movie on the budget of a telefilm, you're not going to expect something that sets the world on fire. As a huge fan of the games, I knew this was going to be terrible and I was not disappointed there! The constant Dutch angles, ridiculous costume designs, obvious plot holes, cheap locations and incredibly unnatural acting are great for a few laughs early on, but then when all this stuff doesn't stop it's hard to keep laughing... or watching

Nonsensical mess populated by some of the worst acting I've ever seen. You know how those old beat'em-ups would end fights with cameo pictures of the combatants trading one-line insults? Those screens displayed more emotion and better dialogue than the characters in this movie. No amount of camera tilt (and half the movie is filmed at a crazy angle) can inject excitement into it. Despite the name there's hardly any fighting, and what little there is is badly filmed and poorly choreographed.
