The King of Kong: A Fist Full of Quarters

First Hit: I liked this film and it was one of the few where I actually applauded at the end of the film.

My applause wasn’t because it was a great film, it is a very good film, but because of the way it ended.

This film is an interesting look at the beginning of the video game revolution, the competitions, the people behind the players, and the drive to achieve “the” high score. It showed the “wanna be” types as well as the real players.

It shows you honest emotions, the frailties, and the strengths of the people pushing the buttons on the consol.

The film exposes the fear, disappointment, vengeance, sadness, joy, and humanness of the players and organization (Galaxy) supporting active gaming.

Overall: It was a very good documentary with real people being themselves.
