Doom

[Pumpk1n]

Have you guys seen it. I saw it with some of my buds, and we kinda enjoyed it. Sure, it's a mindless kill-fest, but there were some scary moments. Thoughts?

I thought it was a load of crap...If you look at it through the tainted eyes of a gamer you'd be thinking it was awesome, what with the BFG and the FPS scene (that was cool). But whenever I watch a movie I watch it from an unbiased perspective, as if I know absolutely nothing about the film, nothing about its origens. I just look at it as a film...and films have good acting, a good storyline, and leave you feeling satisfied at the end...

Films like Star Wars (eps 1 -> 3) were pure ****. The only reason I saw them and semi-liked them was because I had loved the original eps 4 -> 6. I notice that a lot of people said they liked the movies because they were just cool...uh huh..and what was cool about it? The special effects? The Sabre-fights? Yeah those were good..but that's the only thing going for those damned movies...The acting, the dialogue, i swear George Lucas should have gotten another writer to do the scripting (need I remind you of the infamous "Noooooooo!"), and get rid of the frickin actors! The only good actors in the first 3 episodes were Liam Neeson, Christopher Lee, and Ewan McGregor and not just because they're all from the UK/Ireland...They actually have experience and can act and play the role. Take Hayden Christiensen: "I HATE THEM!"...I swear I just want to smack that kid over the head with a copy of the original star-wars film...that's right, the film roll they used back in 1978 for A New Hope... Natalie Portman, pur crap. She tries so hard to look concerned and regal but she couldn't pull the part if she was a hooker in an alley..and don't get me started on that little kid in ep. 1, Jake Lloyd..."Are you an Angel?!"...'nuff said...and oh god! Ian McDiarmid (who played Palpatine)! How ****-house was that acting in ep. 3...I was about to walk out of that damned cinema I was so appaled! But the reason why I sorta liked the movies is because I'm a Star Wars fan-boy...gotta love Han and Chewy (Roargh!).

But yes...back to Doom...

As a movie? No thanks...don't think I'll even rent it in 20 years time..
As a movie from a fan-boy's perspective? Yeah, it was alright...some good weapons, the chainsaw from good ol' Doom 1, and the fact that the BFG was hovering on a platform was a nice touch...

but yes...i think this comic pretty much sums up the whole movie:

Seen the advert on TV a few times I probably will see it due to being a Rock fan :brow

Oh my god what a terrible movie, Avoid like the plauge!

[mjmaskrey]

I wanted to like it...but then I actually watched it and couldn't help but hate it.

Sum it up in 1 word: Laughable

:)

People should know by now that games that go onto the silver screen are utter rubbish in the end. I doubt if I'll watch it the missus might though.

I've not seen it myself but me and my friends thought it looke quite good and were going to go see it. Looks like we'll have to re-think. lol. :s

[Jack25]

Some of the scenes are like the game in a FPS cam.
Which is quite cool. (Y)

i liked it because i wasnt expecting good acting. i just wanted people to shoot guns, kill things, and die. well, thats pretty much what the movie was. about the BFG, why didnt anything get killed with it. :(

I don't really know what to think of this film, sure, some of it was okay but most of it was sub-par imo.

Almost every game that is turned into a film is never really enjoyable as they cut alot out and the story line is left empty and dull.

Let's see what happens with Halo. (Y)

I haven't seen the film yet and I don't think I will as I am not a big film fan, but looking at it in this magazine I read was cool. The games are bleeping scary so I dread to imagine what the film is like. I plan on seeing King Kong though and I wont have enough time/money to watch them both, touch decision.

well......it was not the best movie that the Rock was in, but still I have seen worst..

[Nightfreak]

I saw it last night, and it's rubbish.

I laughed more.
