Crappy film

Absolutely the worst movie.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

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.

Various fighters are invited to a martial arts fighting tournament for $10 million. The tournament is run by Dr. Victor Donovan (Eric Roberts). Four of the contestants include princess Kasumi (Devon Aoki), wrestler Tina Armstrong (Jaime Pressly), thief/assassin Christie Allen (Holly Valance), and Helena Douglas (Sarah Carter). They would find the tournament's terrible reason for being.This doesn't hide its video game roots. It's concentrating mostly on the girls. It's definitely going for the young male audience. It's a lot of hot girls with limited clothing doing jiggle-fighting. The story, such as it is, is a bit thin. There is the main mystery of what happened to Kasumi's brother in a previous tournament. As for the action, the fighting is rather quick paced and energy driven. The best standout actor is the compelling Jaime Pressly who gives some much needed comedy to the movie. This is not a good movie by any means, but this is relatively entertaining for a movie based on a video game.

Well it is a terrible film, but there has been and will continue to be a lot worse than this. It is at least watchable; barely, but still watchable. It is however just another addition to the ever growing list of disappointing films inspired by video games; Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider, Street Fighter and more recently Max Payne and Tekken. All have been poor. This is the worst of the bunch though; choosing to cast for looks rather than martial art ability. But that couldn't even save this film from digging itself 6 feet under. The plot is preposterous; it is uninteresting and it's almost impossible to get interested. It relies on half naked woman to invoke that interest more than anything else. In a film full of nonsense there are some horrors that stand out; apparently trained ninjas with swords are scared of rose petals and shiny pink wristbands. And you know that saying romance is never dead;well it would commit suicide if it seen some of the stuff in this. Prepare for inevitable cringing and rolling of the eyes. There are worse films but i would recommend watching something else. 1.5/10

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.
