Patrick Sweeney Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I started watching Doom, partway into the broadcast. I figured, "Hey, a bad movie, lotsa guns, this could be fun in a Kull kinda way." Oh god. Bad gun wrangling. Bad cinematography. Bad lighting. Hackneyed scenes. Cliches out the wazoo. Dialogue written by aspiring and incompetent screen writers on a three-day huffing jag. Bad acting. Bad science. I suppose the film makers were up against an impossible task: if they deviated from the game, the legions of fans would eat them alive. If they stuck with the game, they'd never work in Hollywood again. How bad was it? I watched five-six minutes, and could hear brain cells screaming for mercy before dying.

Putty Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Yah, I had high expectations after playing the pc game for so long. Hopefully Half-life will be a movie....now theres a story line. Same actor/wrestler ruined scorpion king. You can usually force yourself through a bad movie, but I challenge you to sit through the entire POS remake of "Bewitched" with Will Farrel and Nicole Kidman. Just try it for kicks, I bet you can't.

toowide Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 The Rock had better writers back in the WWF days. It might have been a cool movie to watch i you could have seen anything. Lighting did suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim James Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 The only cool scene was when the camera zoomed in on Urban's eye and then he stands up in a first-person view and realizes he is healed. The rest of the movie was pretty dumb (including the rest of the first-person part), but I thought that transition was kind of neat in a "let's get it on" kind of way, even if it turned out to be a letdown.

Micah Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Silent Hill was suprisingly worse...and THAT was better than Street Fighter. I'd give my Dillon to see a movie based on a video game that DOESN'T have the line "Game Over" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Kaw Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Silent Hill was suprisingly worse...and THAT was better than Street Fighter.I'd give my Dillon to see a movie based on a video game that DOESN'T have the line "Game Over" 10 minutes into Silent Hill and I had to kill it before a shot my TV, Elvis style.

Shawn Knight Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I guess I just expected way too much from playing DOOM III. I thought Urban and The Rock did a great job despite what they had to work with. Very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
