In a brilliant masterstroke of casting, former WWE superstar Kevin Nash plays Bass, a charter that was initaly a balant rip-off of his good buddy, Hulk Hogan.
Videogame movies still sucking
Not shocking: Another game is being made into an awful movie. More shocking: Game-slating director Uwe Boll has nothing to do with it.
In the dubious tradition of Double Dragon and Street Fighter, DOA is set to implode in theaters this fall.
Marketed under the the tired premise of "These girls kick ass!!!" DOA comes coplete with such groan-worthy diaiogue as "perfect.. i broke another nail" You'd think that. if such flops like Catwoman, Bloodrayne and Aeon Flux have taught us anything, it's that ass-kicking girls kick a very low amount of ass at the box office.
Curiosly, the series signature element - big, bouncing bazoonbas - are nowhere to be seen.
Although the movie's trailer does show off a fair amount of skin, the filmmakers have significantly "downsized" the games' star attraction. Whether or not the film will match the series' requisite number of up-skirt panty-flashes per minute remains to be seen.
Admittedly, the most we've seen of this movie are a few screens and the trailer, but, c'mon... just look at it. If DOA ends up being any fun at all, it's sure to be of the "we're laughing at you, not with you" varaity.
We'll try to keep an open mind when we see the film... on DVD... if somone lends it to us.
Oh, it get worse...
Next up, Bloodrayne and HOTD director Uwe Boll returns to what he does best: killing the dreams of movie-loving gamers. Boll's claims of being offerd a Metal Gear movie have thankfully been debunked, but nothing will save Postal, Hunter: The Reckoning, Fear Effect and Far Cry from a full-on Bolling over the next two years.
