Anyone want a good laugh? DOA live-action movie is now available for purchase!

Yup-yup! The greatest video game movie of ALL-TIME is finally out! :lol: and exclusive to rent at Blockbuster (saw it on a commercial...I can't believe they're actually advertising this on TV :roll: ).

Anyway, I just want to see how stupid this is. Really, I'm not watching this because of those hot ninja chicks *ahem*, and I certainly don't care about Holly Vallance from Australia that plays as Christie :D ...but my real reason I want to see the movie is to see what the filmmakers did with the DOA material and how much they screwd it up.

Yeah, it's not about those girls *cough*cough*, it's about my taste as a movie-buff and ambition as a indie-filmmaker. ;)

I'm not touching this.

I'm not familiar with the source material, so I can't even approach it that way.

It was quite painful to watch actually... just because you can edit out the wires doesn't mean you have free reign on the kind of stunts and jumps they were doing. Almost painful in most areas, and the plot and characters... *shudder*. It was worth my 5 bucks, but maybe not the time to watch it.

At least the release of these movies encourage more professional and higher quality ones to be made though.

Yeah, encouraging more professional and higher qaulity ones like the new Street Fighter II movie in the works from Doom director. :roll:

In contrast, I'm thinking it encourages bad filmmakers in thinking, "Hey, if they can do it, I can too!"

Stop, please just stop! :evil:

I agree. We don't need anyone encouraging awful filmmakers to make more awful films.
