I liked it.... BUT I don't particularily like the portrayal of Billy Mitchell. I get the "David vs. Goliath" thing they are trying to get, but Billy Mitchell has a story they never seem to care about. Seems like the only thing he has in life, apart from his wife, is this hi-score in Donkey Kong which is ruined by Steve Wiebe which has a much better life all in all it seems.
