Dead or Alive (DOA)

[Deadset]

I picked up this movie as a blind buy for about 5 bucks, I could've rented it for just under that, but I gave in and purchased it.

Being an old Mortal Kombat fan, when they made the movie, I was there at the theater and loved it. Scorpion was my favorite and the fight / death scenes are classic. I'd love this movie on blu-ray.

So now that we have 3D fighting games, they made DOA, I must have missed the box office run if there was one???

The movie really isn't that bad, it's better than you might think and not as trashy with a pg13 rating. The story was ok, the fighting was pretty good and the girls are just as you'd expect them to be.

All in all, this was a fun popcorn fighting flick and once again reminds me why I loved Mortal Kombat so much (not part 2, that was an atrocity). I'd recommend a rental of this movie, probably only if you've played the game.

7/10 - for what it's worth it was a fun, easy to watch movie. The stunts were pretty good, the transitions were handled well, you can tell they incorporated some of the game elements and backdrops into the movie. For what it was trying to be....it succeeded.

What do you guys think?
