Movie Reviews of D.O.A. - Dead or Alive
Movie Review: Entertaining & Sexy
Summary: 4 Stars
I used to be a fan of the games, back when I played video games. So the movie got my attention. Not enough to see it in the cinema, but upon its DVD release this week I bought it on impluse without even seeing it. I'm happy with the purchase after watching it yesterday. I was very worried this was going to be real bad and I be pissed spending full price for it. But not so. I'm a 28 y/o guy. I'm not a teenage boy, and still the movie had enough sex appeal just like the game to keep my intrest. I found the film entertaining throughout & funny in parts and stupid in others. They even throw in beach volleyball like the game...clever. I do agree with other reviewers Christie is very appealing, and same for Helena...I didn't care to much for Tina's character in the film though.
Overall if you like alot of eye candy with cool action sequences, then you'll enjoy the film I think. They should have made it more violent & sexier with an R rating...my personal thought..
Movie Review: A nice Little Movie made from a game similar to Mortal Kombat And Street Fighter
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this knowing this was a light-story,martial arts,made from game movie like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter. I put these all in the same category as while they don't have the greatest actors or story lines the fight scenes were pretty good. I also feel they kept the characters how they are in the game for the most part intact thats not to say there are not some differences with the game/movie characters. I think the one thing most hilarious in the movie was Eric Roberts as the main villain this is one role I just couldn't see him doing well. You well obviously get your dose of T&A shots not in the nude though mostly skimpy clothing or underwear. The extras aren't much just a trailer of the movie and a little behind the scenes video of how they made the movie. So if you liked the mortal kombat movies or the street fighter movie just choice won't be a bad selection for you...Movie Review: Suprisingly GOOD, maybe GREAT!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Suprisingly a Really Great movie! (as far as "movies based on video games" go!.....no, really, it's pretty GOOD!)....
Production Values, Stunts, Set Design,....very, very GOOD!!... ALL Actors seen commited to their roles and do a FINE JOB!!....(was IMPRESSED by JAMIE PRESSLY...one can tell she Worked Out for the role of Tina!)...but in spite of that...the Only REAL Criticism I have with this "movie"...(again, a movie based on a video game)...is this,.....CASTING and COSTUME DESIGN!!!!
In my opinion, DOA is ALL ABOUT strong, attractive, WOMEN!...if they had stayed True to the women and girls of the game, This could have been THE BEST MOVIE...(Based on a VIDEO GAME!!)....
p.s. one last note on how Good this movie was.....I didn't notice Eric Roberts till the last 20 minutes or so...he didn't ruin it and was....O.K. in his role!!
Movie Review: Low budget, but highly entertaining over-the-top action!
Summary: 4 Stars
I had low expectations for this movie, but after playing and loving Dead or Alive 4 for the Xbox 360, I had to see this movie. The acting isn't the best, and some of the wire work is really fake, but the hot chicks and "B" rated feel of the movie, mad me love it anyway! As for the DVD itself. . . The picture quality is fairly poor, but the sound will knock you on your butt for sure. The short "making of" featurette is worth watching, but there is no other speacial features on the disc.
Overall I would say that anyone who likes the games, likes Hong Kong style movies, or just likes seeing hot chicks kicking a$$, should buy this movie. Especially for the price that amazon is asking! Just add it to another item to get over $[...] and you don't have to pay for shipping.
Movie Review: Hard Hitting Knuckle Buster!
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, this is not an academy award winning film,so don't anticipate a story with a wrench tight plot. Just had to clear that up because some people can be over critical. This is an action film with some lovely ladies getting down with some awesome fight scenes. This movie was better than I thought it would be. I'm not a fan of the game, I think I had the first one, but I did recognize a few characters and signature moves. Beyond that it was good cinematography and awesome fight sequences; that's what makes this movie worth watching. Jamie Pressly actually has some pretty good moves and it was nice to see her in something besides My name is Earl. All in all, if you like watching ladies kicking butt and explosions you should love this one.
