she said: this is a fun indulgence into the genre of video game fantasy.
he said: Jaime Pressley (from My Name Is Earl) and Kevin Nash (WWE) did a funny job at being the daughter and father wrestlers.
she said: they kinda look like a couple though.
he said: the rest of the cast members seem to have given their best interpretation of arcade favourites, from Natassia Malthe's (Elektra's Typhoid) Ayane to Devon Aoki's (Too Fast, Too Furious) americanised Kasumi. i can't complain about the acting, except maybe for Smallville alum Sarah Carter's (she's pretty content at being happy most of the time).
she said: what's with the flying shuriken invites?
he said: Eric Roberts plays the antagonist, and delivers a convincing enough performance.
she said: i hate him.
he said: in how he portrayed Donovan?
she said: no, i just hate him.
he said: oh... anyhoo, the male species definitely took a back seat to the femme fatale team-up that's prevalent throughout the film, and this probably isn't such a bad idea for marketing this franchise to the general public. guys would go back to high from DOA: Volleyball, whilst the gals would admire the Power Puff Girl treatment of the lead characters.
she said: the women kick a$$!! go flower power! and i loved the black finger nails on Aussie Holly Valance's Christie.
he said: since i usually use Bayman in the few occasion that i had played the game, i'm disappointed that the character was just a thug in the film. but for other characters in the game, it was a pretty good tranformation to the big screen.
she said: good enough dvd session, but it's not something that i'd watch again.
he said: there's some funny bits as well in the deleted scenes from the special features section (which also includes a The Making Of). but i can see why they had to delete them!
we say: 3 stars.

that would be 3/5 or 3/10? Personally I didn't like the story. Almost like a clone of Mortal Kombat. Holly definitely rocked though especially in that hotel scene. I agree with "she", wrestlers looked like a couple mainly because the father looked so young. They could have picked an older father like hulk hogan. But then again he can't act either.
3 out of 5 stars. hulkamania!!! the best wrestler actor would've been the late great Andre The Giant! just a poker face throughout his career. ;) hey, he made it in the Princess Bride!
