You won't be disappointed!

It is a performances centric movie

Best movie of this year hands down!

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

I never played DOA game before in my life but it looks similar to Tekken. Maybe one day I will buy one and play it.The film isn't good but good special effects and fight scenes too. The reason why I watched this film because I know the director 'Corey Yuen' who made some best martial art films like Ninja in the dragon's den, Righting Wrong and Fong Sai Yuk 1 and 2.Tina vs Zack fight scene, Corey copied the exactly same fight choreography from 'She shoots straight (1990)'.If you like Jet Li then watch Fong Sai Yuk 1 and 2, both good martial art movies, a lot of action and comedy.

DOA is one of those movies you watch when you don't have anything better to do. Such as if you just painted a room and are stuck in that room and all you have is a TV, DVD player and DOA only. This is when you really watch this movie.I never played the video game so I have no clue about how its supposed to be. Though I honestly thought I was watching a remake of another video game movie, Street Fighter. They both were about the same except this one was made after CGi came around so it was a bit more entertaining then that older movie.The set is amazing, I'd love to be at that resort right now considering its -20c here in Canada right now. However I worry they might have a TV, DVD player and a copy of DOA to watch waiting in my room so I will stay here and freeze. Freezing is better then the chance of having to watch this movie again.I recommend this movie. But mainly to the 10 to 13 year olds that wont catch all the mistakes and cheese a movie like this so openly flaunts.

I like action movies, but I know the score with movies based on games. They tend to be low budget crap, that offend every sensibility you might have towards good film making.However I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. It has a nice clean style, doesn't take itself too seriously, and it was fun and entertaining to watch. Most importantly I didn't feel it suffered too much from the bad acting, casting and costumes that plagued similar movies like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. The notable exception being Ayane, who suffers from the dreaded 'white girl in an anime costume' playing Asian. Thankfully she is not in it too much.If I could liken it to other movies. I would say it is on a par with films like Fast and the Furious (or any Vin Diesel film really), Charlie's Angels, or Men in Black. If you were able to sit though those, and be entertained, then you should be happy with this too.I don't usually like watching trailers because they often spoil films. But in this case, there isn't a great deal to spoil. So I would advise watching the trailer and go with your impulse. If you find yourself thinking "this might be fun" then you will probably enjoy it. On the other hand: If you think "this looks like inane tripe" then I doubt watching the whole thing will change your mind.I would give this film a 6, it has good fight scenes, hot girls, non- stop action, and nothing too serious or annoying to spoil the fun.

Today, I watched this film for the forth time and noticed this time that Eric Roberts ruined the film in many ways. This had everything one should except: Hot girls that can fight (Jaime Pressly, Devon Aoki, Holly Valance, Sarah Carter, Natassia Malthe and all of which received training from martial arts experts. Pressly worked out for a few months in addition to look the part), there were good action sequences, and lots of fun throughout the movie. There were also well choreographed fights, tight camera angles, and well placed moments such as the volley ball game to reflect that this is based on the video game. But every time I saw Eric Roberts in a scene I felt like I was watching some B-Movie from the 1990s. He reads lines like a soap opera star, lacks motivation to play a villain, and as a fighter he isn't believable. All of his fighting moves looked clumsy too. He ruined this for a lot of people. I find him funny. If you are interested in other movies like this, you might wanna check out a list I created called Tough Ladies of Film:http://www.imdb.com/list/xoKDjc5RSoA/ Oh and I gave this a ten because so many wrongfully gave it a one. I'd really rate this an eight.
