Even kids won't get much of a kick out of this high-energy, low-IQ futuristic slugfest.

An incoherent children's adventure based on a popular video game.

While clumsily paced by first-time director Jim Yukich and amateurishly acted, the picture does take place against the imaginative backdrop of New Angeles, the urban archipelago formed when the Big One crumpled Southern California.

A surprisingly timid and largely toothless action fantasy for kids.

How hard would it be to come up with a story at least as good as that of the original Nintendo game? Impossible, apparently.

The grim view of the future is nothing new, the special effects involve poorly used matte paintings and pyrotechnics, and the actors do far too many double-takes.

Double Dragon pales in comparison to the game itself.
