Kind of like a “less bullshit” King of Kong. Man vs Snake is one of the fairest portrayals of gaming I’ve seen in a movie. That definitely counts for something, as many devolve into reductionist “look at the freakshow” shame reels. Depending on where your priorities lie, King of Kong‘s more manufactured narrative may result in a better movie. In terms of homage and accuracy, Man vs Snake is clearly the more heartfelt offering—and its own narrative is perfectly gripping as well.
