[exfileme]

Universal Studios is supposedly working on another DOOM movie that will completely ignore the first box office bomb starring The Rock.

Yeah but see Uwe Boll made the Postal movie. How could you go wrong?

"The Rock's character goes around shooting everything in sight, the barrel of his gun sticking suggestively up from the bottom of the screen," TIME said."

Umm, no. just no. wrong. Did they even watch the movie? It was Karl Urban's character.

I actually liked the doom movie. For me the biggest problem with it was that whole genetic engineering thing. I've always wondered if I saw the same movie as everyone else however and I'm starting to think I didn't. I have proof.

"The Rock's character goes around shooting everything in sight, the barrel of his gun sticking suggestively up from the bottom of the screen," TIME said. "It's like the audience as a whole is playing DOOM on a really big screen."

Actually in the version I saw it was Reaper who did this, he was looking for his sister. Sarge/The Rock had already started turning at this point. While I don't think the movie was great (3 out of 5? 7 out of 10?) it doesn't deserve the negative press that it got. More so if that press can't even keep the characters straight.

There CAN'T be a DooM movie without depressing silent scenes, cruel demonic hordes and insane chainsaw carnage.

^+1 @ 4745454b nailed it, I concur 100% w/ how it got bad press that I honestly think was a bit undeserving. The fact the press didn't get the characters straight makes me think they didn't pay enough attention to it, maybe they shouldn't have reviewd it. :\

"thanks to the success of Paramount's G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra."

that made me lol literally

The Rock's character becomes "infected" and is killed... he's not the one in "game mode" of the movie.

The movie was okay... could have been better, seen worse.

 

[Krnt]

I agree with 4745454b.
So this means critics don't watch the movies, just write shit.

Seriously? G.I. Joe was the worst piece of crap movie ever. I watched it steaming on Netflix and not only was I so happy I didn't waste what is now a ton of money to see it at the theater, I was glad that I didn't waste one of my dvd mailings on it. I'd rather watch Doom than G.I. Joe any day.

And Kevin, how embarrassing for you. You should probably watch a movie before you comment on the characters actions.

Lastly, yes I liked the first-person scene, but I didn't think it was too short at all. Making it longer would have been a mistake. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who started to feel a little sick towards the end of that scene. I would have been ok with two or three sequences throughout the film, but not a longer one.

I thought it was a fun movie. Of course I didn't go in expecting it to be up to par with some of the best action movies out there. Nonetheless, it was a fun movie that you just had to leave your brain at the door to enjoy. As for who was running around in FPS style, it was Urban and not the Rock. Kind of hope they continue off the first one, and bring Urban back into it. Still, I will give it a chance.

Your kinda like the press, you don't really pay attention either. Kevin didn't say this, he was quoting the TIME review.

[jrnyfan]

It was inspired by the 'success' of GI Joe?

God willing a Wayans brother will also be involved with DOOM

 

[pclee]

I thought DOOM was a fun movie...but like the article says "Fanboys loved it." I didn't love it, but i certainly liked it. I mean...is there a real compelling story in the computer game? No...it's just a bunch of gory weirdness and horror.

 

[enforcer22]

Yeah it was a super crappy movie.. i have never seen a good movie based off a game or even the other way around yet. Wouldn't even watch it for free.

 

[jsc]

I don't know. Wing Commander was pretty good. DungeonSeige wasn't bad.

I mean, you know how a movie based on a game is going to end. What fun there is is watching it get there.

 

[giovanni86]

^ Prince of Persia wasn't bad at all, i've played several of the games series since the old one back in the windows 95 days. I loved that movie, not sure if it was based off a game, but none the less it keeps you watching it.

Besides that, i actually liked doom, n the FPS perspective of it was amazing, and actually if they had more of it or made it longer man that would of been awesome, but none the less i like it.

Best video game to movie conversion IMO was Hitman. That was seriously not too bad IMO. It is true that he vast majority of video games do NOT make good movies. Doom was not the worst, but is it really worth giving it another shot? It isn't even a current game franchise FFS.

 

[dimar]

Quake movie, based on Quake 4 Universe would be so awesome!!!!!

 

[shizen]

still waiting for world of warcraft the movie..!

 

[Guest]

Wolfenstein 3D. Need I say more? Ok, how about... Duke Nukem Forever: The movie!
But honestly, I'd settle for the breakfast cereal or flamethrower.

 

[peteyfro87]

It was sooo bad that when they said 'No one gets out alive' I thought they meant from the Cinema.

It could of been a great movie if they hadn't lost their nerve. The genetic engineering plot line was a cop out because they hadn't got the nerve to use HELL as the story in case it upset the religious fraternity.

But, hey, the game had already done that anyway so perhaps the sequel can utilise the DOOM folklore and give fans what they really wanted.

 

[tburns1]

Hey ...I want a Deus Ex, System Shock, and Thief movie!

 

[-Fran-]

If the main characters don't travel to hell itself and fight Satan, it ain't no DOOM movie at all. Starts on the Moon, ends in Hell.

Hopefully they get the idea this time.

Cheers!
