I downloaded the trailer for it some time ago from Hameko, thinking it was footage from DOA4. After seeing it I felt the strong urge to pour bleach in my eyes. I don't think there are enough drugs on this planet to make me see this "movie".

I love violence and I love women, but I've never seen such a tasteless combination.

Meh, the focus is exactly the same as for the games so it's all good.

I can't believe that Itagaki, being so detail-oriented and dedicated, would allow his creation to be turned into Charlie's Angels Meet All The Extras From "Hero".

Fudge. I'm going to read some furry fan-fiction to wash away the bad taste. :?

Wonder if they'll actually get Hulk Hogan and Dennis Rodman to play the characters the game created as ripoffs of them, heh heh. Then again, not like anyone'll be seeing the movie for those characters anyway. :P

The ONLY way I will go see that movie is I'm assured that all the female characters are involved in a women-only orgy.

Dammit, if I had known months ago, I would've dropped out of school and enjoyed life to the fullest instead of learning about employee benefits law.

It actually makes you think that the beach volleyball game was a better idea than this movie. At least with that game, folks who wanted to get it could do it on the sly - order it from the internet, whatever. For this, you're actually going to have to go to the theaters and ask someone to let you watch...

It's like Tomb Raider movies. A big 2-hour ad trying to get non-gamers to play the game. That must be why it looks so dumb.

The first TR movie was pretty cool, but the 2nd was awful. I mean, c`mon, Angelina Jolie punching a shark in the mouth? What a joke.

After watching that trailer, all I can say is that I hope all the people who slagged Elektra get a chance to see the DOA trailer (or better yet, the movie) & realize that Elektra didn't suck as bad as they all thought it did.

I said this before and I'll say it again:

Well the good news is that this can't possibly be worse than the Mortal Kombat 2 or Street fighter movie. Although judging from the trailer it looks like a bad cosplay homemade movie :P

I don't want to hear anyone dissing Aeon Flux after this. That movie rocked.
