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.

    Another hollywood movie with absolutely no substance, and being based off a video game will probably condemn it to begin with. Does the MPAA actually blame pirating for declining sales?

  2. DOA?? by Alterion · · Score: 5, Interesting

    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.

    When playing DOA, do you use an off-brand joystick?

    "...the most inaccurate representations of women..."

    Its otherwise known as fantasy. Why would I want to pay 10 bucks to see ugly fat women in movies and games?

    Substance? Probably somewhere between C and DD.

    At least it's not a self-proclaimed "Serious Movie" that has the female actresses bare their breasts and shake their asses because "It's Important to the Plot".

    It seems more honorable to me to sell the movie with "Hey buddy! Hot chix kicking ass, and you get a couple peeks at the goodies!"

    Kinda like the Man Show, no pretentions, no redeeming values. Just girls on trampolines.
