DOA Coming to the Theater Near You

pamri writes "DOA: Dead or Alive, the movie based on the Dead or Alive video game series is set to be released on August 25. The preview images and the trailer point to a more Charlies Angels 2 type fluff than a serious action movie. The girls are also seem friendlier with each other, in odds with the intense competition in the game." I tell people I bought a 360 for Oblivion. But I really bought it for the ladies of DOA.

DOA4

was the first game on the 360 that I really wanted. I've been a fan of the series for several years. This movie, however, looks awful. I'm a big Team Ninja fan, big DOA fan, but seriously, Igitaki. Couldn't you just make a CG version with the characters we know? And have it suck less?

DOA??

why do film companies choose the worst possible games to make movies out of? doom, resident evil, DOA.. all were horrible games to try and make into a film . A Film game needs to survive without the interactivity off the top of my head something like Spiderman or Starwars rouge-squadron would work well as a movie... ahh i've just realised those are the only 2 decent movie tie in games i can think of.

Obvious?

"The preview images and the trailer point to a more Charlies Angels 2 type fluff than a serious action movie."

+1, obvious.

From the trailer, it starts with:
"They know what they like..."
"They get what they want..."

Hard to believe that's going to be superficial.

I was expecting the boom-shaka-boom porn music to start any moment. I'll have to review it again a few times frame-by-frame to make sure, though.

Hell yeah. Throw in 1 part Skinamax movie and 1 part Bloodsport and I'm there. I love a mindless popcorn flick once in awhile. I find that I actually enjoy them more than the pretentious crap coming out as "good" movies these days.
