I’ve never seen such a mixture of seriousness and ridiculousness, sadness and happiness, mystery and intrigue. King of Kong is a documentary about two classic arcade gamers fighting for the world record for Donkey Kong.
All the characters in the film can be described as geeks or nerds, but all have their interesting quirks, traits, and hobbies apart from their passion for gaming. There were moments that gave me goosebumps (or was it because of the lack of heating in my apartment?). There were many moments when I laughed out loud, such as when Steve Wiebe’s kid daughter exclaimed that people sorta ruin their lives to get into that book, meaning the Guinness Book of World Records.
I know this wasn’t a well-written review; I wrote this down while watching.
