Man, I’ve been hearing just RAVE reviews of this little documentary called “The King of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters“. I’ve got to admit that I first heard about it some time ago, but I thought it sounded just ridiculous and never bothered to go out of my way to see it. The idea is a simple one: Two men are vying for the title of greatest Donkey Kong player in the world. Sounds sorta dumb. But wait a second… people who have seen it just love this thing.
As a matter of fact, it got a great response at Sundance… got itself a distributor… and now is getting huge attention in both the online community and the traditional media. Damn… I had a chance to see this thing at Comic Con but turned it down… I’m starting to regret that decision.
Have any of you guys seen The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters” yet? If so, is it as good as everyone is saying it is? Is it over hyped? Is it amazing? What are your thoughts?
Just for fun… here is the trailer:
