   DEAD OR ALIVE MOVIE WON'T BE GOOD.
   
   The film version of the game will not make any good box office hit,
   but it would work if it stays faithful to the games as long as the story is not cheesy.
   DOA:Dead or Alive will not make a good movie as the stuff up that the producers have made even game creators Tecmo should help them with the cast of actors and the plot.
   They have the actors in the movie with Holly Valance as Christie,Devon Aoki as Kasumi (bad choice), Natassia Malthe as Ayane (another bad choice).Kasumi and Ayane should have been picked by other Asain actors.
   Tough luck better luck for the sequel if the movie works right.
   Thank You.

   DOA is a movie that you will or wont complain about it. I think it was a good choice of actors and will make a great action movie. People who complain about it might not like that stylke of movie but in its class i think it's a great movie and should rake in the ratings. By the way, if different websites give the movie a rating you are an idiot if you listen to it. It is an subjective opinion and you will have to see the movie yourself if you wish to rate it.

   Today i have just seen the movie. Shoving a story line in with girls in bikinis playing beach volley-ball beating other fighters senseless amazes me. I would give it a 9/10 and i hope for sme reason they make a sequel.

   My hopes for this film lie in the fact that it was directed by Corey Yuen, who for two decades has been one of the most talented, unpretentious creators of kung fu comedies in Hong Kong. I'm amazed he made it to Hollywood without having to deal with Jean-Claude van Damme, Mr. Magoo or talking kangaroos.

   I have just seen the movie. It was a complete success and what highlighted it more was the fact there were no other good movies that had been relased at the moment. Some movie ideas just disgust me and wonder how they got to Hollywood or even came up with the idea. Anyone who says the movie is bad is either a bore or an unviolent fridget.

   I wish I knew why DOA's release was pushed to December 8th in the US. Everyone else who has seen it already is so lucky...
   
   I'm excited to see this, and curious about what plot they have in place besides just the regular bouncing from one fight scene to another with smatterings of beach volleyball.
   
   It's a shame that the jiggle factor doesn't work in the movies...

   I don't care what anybody says! DOA The Movie ROCKS!!!!!!! And i'm only 12! When I watched it, it was totally full of exciting moves and fighting scenes. I esp. like dhte scences that when Tina and Bass were fighting;and also when Kasumi and Leon were fighting. It showed TRUE GIRL POWER!!!! I hope there's more DOA movies to come! But I want the characters to stay the same. mORE POWER!

   Gabrielle said it! That movie totally rocks. I have not followed many fighting games but I did play Extreme Beach Volleyball. From that, I can say I was very pleased with the action sequences and stunts, the majority of which had very good coreography.
   To Bruce Acosta, I take it you follow the game plot very closely and know all the storylines, and so you think the movie would fail. Too bad you dont have the experience in predicting movie success cuzz you were/are dead wrong. You see, if you can create a plot that does not involve indepth detail about the character backgrounds, it doesnt have to be perfect on those details. It seems to me that's what this movie is - a 'here and now' based plot that doesnt need much to stay true to. It just says who is who, brings in the action, throws in the villain's plan, and the good guys (girls) save the day.
   Simple and effective. Easily scores just under perfect ratings in my book.

   Ok i have seen this movie 5 times now, i loved it ... however :p i do agree with many that devon aioki was a bad choice for kasumi. kasumi is one of the most recognisable DOA characters from the game , next to the likes of Hyabussa and Helena Douglas. Natassia Malthe was a perfect choice for ayane, for me i saw ayane in her perfomance ....however, i disliked the boyfreind girlfriend plot twist between her and Hyatie. on that note i think they did a great job ... besides the weard plot twist ( holes if ya want to put them that way) 7/10 cory
