AAAHHHHH!!!! My brain has been fried senseless from viewing the DOA movie. It's just wrong, everything about it is wrong! I knew going in for the movie was gonna be a bad idea, but not this bad!

On the plus side (there's a plus!?), there are some references to the DOA games. For example, the opening scene is a nod to Team Ninja's signature opening logo. Also, the announcer sounds a lot (or probably is) like the Monica announcer from DOA. And, uh, Donovan attempts to look like Itagaki with the shades on? Yeah, I hated it too.

And the fighting. God, the fighting. Almost none of the characters fight like their game counterparts. Last time I checked, Christie used Snake Hand, not.... whatever it was she used in the movie. And Hayabusa, god, what have they done to you? The super ninja has been turned into the princess' loyal guard or other. I'm gonna have to log in some serious time with Ninja Gaiden to remind me what a bad-ass Hayabusa actually is.

Ohhhh my head. I'm totally not going to look at the DOA fighters with the same eyes again. 'Cause I might subconsciously recall memories of this particular attempt at bringing DOA to the masses.
