i haven't played the game so i guess i can't really compare, but i personally loved the movie! the acting was bad yes but i'm a sucker for fighting movies with girls who can actually kick ass as the main character, and i think this movie did an amazing job with that despite the not so great acting.
William T gave it a6:
It's so horrendously silly, shallow and riddled with slow-motion effects FOR EVERY SINGLE FIGHT that you can't help but enjoy it somehow.
Rainy D gave it a7:
It's certainly not as bad as many might imagine.A fun little flick with good action and decent enough acting.

A throwaway, but an entertaininng one. Why? Corey Yuen's choreography gives it some fighting punch the acting, FX and cast can't provide.
Dan M. gave it a9:
This is an atrociously bad movie. The plot makes barely any sense, elements are introduced, then ignored, and it is just on the whole ridiculous. In short, its a great bad fighting video game to movie transition, up there with its cousins, Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. It does fall a bit short of the pinnacle of comic to movie transition that is Tank Girl though.
I think you're missing the point. This is exactly what I'd expect a movie based on DOA to be. Have you ever even played DOA? I thought this was hilarious. I hope they do a Soul Calibur movie next.

It's pretty bad. Chicks aren't even that hot.

You have GOT to be kidding me. worst movie ever. saw it at a friend's house for her party and holy crap. Just don't. its not hot women and fighting. It is suck(movie) and sucker(whoever is foolish enough to buy this). don't watch it. There is no visible plot or acting either, not even good music. I haven't been this bored since I saw Alone in the Dark.
