Doom the movie will it be good? Poll
Will this movie be any good?
Sadly to say as I am a doom fan I don't think it will be good at all..

And you would be right.audiophile wrote:i'm pretty sure it's not gonna be good... rumor has it that it doesn't even involve hell at all. it's all some weird genetic experiments gone wrong.
*cough* And guess where the screenplay author stole the plot from?
It's sad to see the DOOM series soiled on by Hollywood profiteers.
Sadly I believe it will suck. They changed the entire story around. Reminds me of a mix of resident evil and descent. Watching the previews it looked like it was going to be a lot of watching the opening demos of doom 3. Why no hell? Hollywood trying to clean up their act? Where do you get those giant beasts from, human experiments? Human can turn into giant dog like creatures without having evil spirits? Ghostbusters even used evil spirit dogs to tell the story. What the hell IS that crap?
*thumbs down* I doubt I will pay full price to see it. Maybe afternoon at the most. $1 rental section at the least.

I just don't understand how you can do Doom without Hell. It just doesn't make any sense!
Hollywood only had to do a few things to make a Doom movie: include big guns, big explosions, and Hell demons. Such an easy concept and they couldn't even get it right
I'll rent it when it comes out on DVD (unlimited rentals at Blockbuster are nice in times like these)

Man, I still remember back in the day when WWE was actually WWF still. Degeneration X was making fun of the Rock and his group. Mark Henry (the fat one) was being made fun of, talking about, "Well, it smells like s**t, but I'll eat some anyway", rofl (either X-Pac or the Road Dog was imitating that one, lol). God I miss the real WWF, and not this crap they have on today (yeah I realize it's all just soap opera-like anyways, but you have to admit these idiots today are just that....idiotic, not to mention their "back stories" and beefs and whatnot.) Anywho, yeah the Rock sucks as an actor, needs a few more years.

I can't get onto IMDB, but Rottentomatoes is getting bad reviews up.
Right now:
Reviews counted: 79
Fresh: 16 Rotten: 63
Looks like to me, a movie to rent, not to waste your money on in the theatres or buying. I'll stick with Land of the Dead! It's close enough to Doom and looking to be a million times better!

"Lacking in anything that could remotely be considered fun, entertaining or enjoyable"
-- Stefan Halley, HERO REALM
"Fans of the game would rather play it themselves than watch someone else do it for them."
-- Daniel M. Kimmel, WORCESTER TELEGRAM & GAZETTE
"Doom becomes tedious in a hurry."
-- Paul Doro, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
"This movie proves that the best place to enjoy a video game is in your living room with a cordless precision controller iron-gripped in your sweaty hands."
-- Malene Arpe, TORONTO STAR
"It's unfathomable how many times Hollywood has struck out in attempts to convert popular video/computer games into movies. This is the kind of misfire that reinforces negative stereotypes."
-- James Berardinelli, REELVIEWS

Why is it that they have to really screw up such great stories with such crappy writers/directors. I would love to see a starcraft or diablo movie done by GOOD writers. Warcraft would be good but it takes so many elements from LoTR that it would be very similar. If they could make an interesting story it might be good.
I doubt I will go see it unless someone else pays for me to go. Renting it when it hits the $1 section.

Hollywood hasn't put out an original or creative movie in quite awhile..... and I think critics are on the take. I took my wife to see "A History of Violence" a couple of weeks ago because they were talking Oscar..... and it might have been one of the three worst movies I have ever seen.... pure crap. We also saw "Mr and Mrs Smith" which also sucked ass big time......would have been at least bareable had Angelina Jolie gotten naked, but just a horrible movie.
To be honest, I can't remember the last movie i saw that really impressed me.

The movie was meh. It could have been worse though.
