reaction: DOA movie

Yes, it's out. No, it's not available in North America. But it is all over the web if you know where to look for it.

Lower your expectations and you'll be just fine. They weren't kidding when they said they were going for "Charlie's Angels." It's a billed as an "action-comedy" (which sadly also means the supporting cast were much more entertaining than the starring B-list cast giving C-list performances)... Seriously, some of this dialogue belongs in an episode of Power Rangers.

Watch it for the eye-candy, don't watch it because you're a hardcore DOA video game fan.

Better than: Street Fighter starring Jean-Claude Van Damme
Not as good as: Mortal Kombat starring Robin Shou (who happens to have a cameo appearance in this movie)
More accurate adaptation of a game than: Super Mario Bros. starring Bob Hoskins.

You're right... not for the hardcore fans... I have a friend that won't like it when I show it to him.

Thanks for letting me borow it.
