Amateur movie with Big budget

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The movie hits you with a bunch of stuff that normal people won't follow. There is a mirror,a shield, a necklace, a sword, and the real sword. These are all related in a story with too much information to follow. But don't worry. You don't have to. The story line is simpler than the complex explanation: Good guys fight bad guys.People fight in games in an alternate dimension, that is made virtual with ear pieces. It combines magical ancient oriental artifacts with Bluetooth technology. There is also an evil spirit that can be let loose which will make the games real. Maggie Q fights in a short skirt with stockings. She dates a man who was a former champion. But is really not her boyfriend...While the fighters are having a meeting, a man (Rugal, Ray Park) decides to bring a gun to a fist fight, runs off with the artifacts, and physically goes into that other dimension. The CIA is monitoring the activity. Maggie Q is instructed to go find a man who is in a mental institution, one where all you have to do is go up to the front desk and ask to speak to a patient and they unlock the door for you.Rugal has taken control of the games and issued a challenge to all the remaining reality fighters, except they don't know they will be fighting with their own lives!Once he beats up all the fighters, he gets the title "King of Fighters" for what it is worth. (What is that? Like a level 72 in WOW?) At this point, unless Rugal (I would have named Nigel) wins and rules the world, the plot is predictable. Maggie is not much of an old world traditionalist. She likes the "R" word: reason. Sean Faris plays the son of a former fighter (the man in the mental institution). He is into Zen and motorcycle maintenance. (Oh! How did the writers ever come up with that! They should have made him a minor league baseball player and have him use his skills later on, a nice tie-in.)On the plus side, women fight in short skirts. On the negative side: They needed to add a little humor. The movie had some funny lines except they were delivered in a stiff manner. David Leitch who played investigator Terry Bogard absolutely stank. He had the best lines in the movie and screwed them up. They really needed a funny Bruce Willis. The story line was fine, it could use a few tweaks, but the poor dry dialogue dragged the movie down. If you like girls fighting in short skirts in an alternate reality, try "Sucker Punch."No sex, no nudity, no f-bombs. Near lesbian scene. Excessive amount of CG style fighting.

Please don't waste your time watching this movie!! Its horrific to see how low budget movie production houses and poor unprofessional directors try to make a movie from a franchise and twist the original characters and story and fan support into a pathetic show of a movie which is nothing but a complete joke.I mean I was speechless once I was able to finish this movie after keeping myself in the chair in hope that the director would come up with something better. But Alas, it was the same joke again n again.You could tell at every step of the movie that its a low budget movie with directions so horrible that the actors are stiff, dialogues not in place, the tiny bit of special effects being forwarded to make it faster. Like for gods sake, you couldn't make the Orochi ball into a little bit better display??? If you can't make a good movie, then please don't screw up the original story board and the KOF name.Anyone with the slightest taste in movies should stay a million miles away from this movie. The whole production house and director should be ashamed of what they have done. Me, a proud fan of KOF, disgusted beyond saying to see this movie.

This is not intended to offend any of the cast, but the director, Gordon ChanNot the least cute and grumpy Mai? Why didn't you pick Leona if you wanted a grumpy, dark and brooding agent?Talkative and charming Iori? No, not at all acceptable! I agree that the red hair was not necessary, but I was really expecting his hair to turn red when he was controlled by Orochi.Half American- half whatever-but-Japanese Kyo? It was the most similar personality (Although he looked like Shingo with short hair)but it lacked swagger.Skinny Rugal! My god!! You could at least have tried to put a wig on Goldberg!Marty McFly Terry. What the hell was up with that jacket? You should have given him the leather jacket he had in KOF 2001. A CIA agent? The LONE WOLF? Ha!Chizuru wasn't that bad, and Mr. Big could have been bald, but he was OK.I LOVED Mature and Vice; excellent, really cute.The movie itself, sucked. Awful screenplay, photography, dialogs and crappy costumes. Corny, slow, boring, what else do you want me to say? Don't watch it: ever.I really can't express my frustration about the 1 1/2 hours of my life I wasted watching it. And Kyo's finishing move! Lame! Why didn't you fuse the sword with his arm and did his Shiki Orochinagi? Using ideas from a story you bought the rights to is not plagiarism! Or the Kusanagi sun mark could have AT LEAST flared up in his forehead! Or his jacket!NEVER EVER; WHATEVER YOU DO;D O N O T W A T C H T H I S M O V I E ! ! !

There is no real "plot" to this movie; watching it is like being trapped in a bad video game from which there is no escape. It is basically a sequence of none-too-interesting martial art displays, with a cartoonish bad guy and his minions facing off against the "good guys". What a surprise that Maggie Q, the only name recognizable in this piece of crap, couldn't find better work after appearing in Die Hard 4, and soon to appear in another sequel of Mission Impossible. There are several lengthy comments here, most of which agree that this movie is junk, but I can't imagine what they managed to write several paragraphs about. No, I didn't read them because I already know this movie is really terrible. Why would I want to analyze several worthless details of the film? Do yourself a favor and don't watch this movie!
