Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

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 Mitchell cheated! He is not a true Donkey Kong player! That's why I hate this movie. I give The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters a 1/10.

Billy Mitchell set the Donkey Kong record back in the 80s that stood for almost 20 years. Walter Day founded Twin Galaxies which keeps track of the world records of the old original arcade games. Billy is a cocky skilled gamesman who is part of the Twin Galaxies establishment. Steve Wiebe is the newcomer from Redmond, Washington. He is a regular slob struggling to reach the top of anything. It's a game of back and forth as records are challenged and personalities clash.The movie starts off as a David and Goliath competition. Billy Mitchell is such a fascinating character. I don't think he's a hated cartoon. Instead he's a real human being with real ego and real fears. Steve is more of the classic quiet nerd. But the movie takes unexpected turns and brings weird personalities like the crazy nemesis, the sycophant, and the rest of the nerds. It shows that no matter what the competition or the stakes, the emotional drama remains the same.

This is a heart warming perfectly made documentary i am not a video gamer particularly but i felt so involved. Kudos to Seth Gordon for his exciting and greatly crafted masterpiece and thank you. The well chosen score along with a well edited film shoots this high into my top ten documentaries with a subject that i would normally consider as banal.This film is not simply about video games, it is full of tension and conflict, it is more about the pursuit of perfection and competition. It turns into the good versus evil David versus Goliath with the hero and the villain which may not be completely accurate but i do feel that this was necessary to allow us to relate to the film and so poetic license was used and should be forgiven for the sake of our entertainment. This documentary really could not have been better..... Enjoy peoples ))))))
