I watched it a couple of days ago and really enjoyed it.  I was so engrossed into the movie that I was cheering him on.  :)

I've seen the movie a few times - it starts to lose it's luster when you see it again.

I saw the first thirty minutes of it and I liked it. The only reason I didn't watch the rest of it was because it was really late. I have it on my DVR, though, so I'm def. gonna check the rest of it out.

I own it and love it. I think it's a very entertaining film...How much truth is actually in it I don't know (I mean specifics) but I really enjoy it and it holds up well to multiple viewings in my eyes.

GREAT movie. Billy Mitchell is quite possibly one of the biggest assholes I've ever seen.

I don't know if it was their intentions to make Billy Mitchell look like such a tool, but the film was certainly effective in expressing that sentiment,.

I think that the movie is a brilliant documentary that had a protagonist and an antangonist, and you loved to love the protagonist(the all around good guy) and loved to hate the antagonist(all around douchebag, but you still think he's awesome)

Brilliant Movie that gamers should watch and appreciate

Seen it once or twice, and I really liked it.  The part where Steve Wiebe's son is screaming at him while he's beating the world record is priceless.

Also the people who take this stuff deadly serious throughout the movie make for a good couple of laughs.  Just leave Walter out of the insults, that guy is the man.

That was a great movie, Steve Wiebe definitely deserved the record.

I've seen it, and its sad how they paint bill mitchell they take half of what he says out of previous context. and it seems people fall for it *as per opinions on this thread* hes not a jerk, hes actually a very nice man, but they specifically went out of their way to make him look like an jerk and the director admitted it as well.

Its specially proven when Bill beats Wiebes highscore in public yet again when the movie was released.

Just seen this right now. Man that's good stuff.
I loved every minute of it, and seeing all those nerds crowding around really makes me miss the arcade scene.
Bought Pac-Man CE this morning so I can crave my blood thirst for a good pizza and arcade.

But seriously, this doc makes me want to go out and make a video game movie.

Little do most people know. Like two weeks after the movie was released, Bill Mitchell took back to the world record.

I liked the extreme amount of drama that was generated for what essentially was a small competition.

Hulk liked it.  After watching it Hulk recommended it to all of Hulk's friends.  Hulk got lots of blank stares from non-gaming nerd friends.

And what did Ant-Man say?

I don't know, Billy still seemed a bit Douchie. Why wouldn't he compete? That was just messed up.

I'd bang his wife, though.

I realize I'm bumping a really old topic but I recently saw Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade, and while not as entertaining as KoK, I thought that the movie had a better and more informative explanation of the arcade game era. You actually see a lot of the same guys in both movies.

I've heard of this movie but I've never actually seen it, it sounds like it's worth watching.

We can all agree that the "There's a Donkey Kong kill screen coming up" dude needs a punch in the face.
