There was a thread started ealier in anticipation for the movie. I wanted this one to be actual reviews from this community. I haven't seen it and would appreciate honest reviews from all of you (that decide to see it). The critics have a low opinion of the movie, but we've almost never seen eye to eye. So here we go. What did you think of the movie, "DOOM"?

Going to see it tonight.. and i'm been checking on Yahoo Movies Review for DOOM. It certainly don't look good.

Count Feanor · Oct 21, 2005, 04:43 PM // 16:43

I agree. I've check for reviews everywhere and that's the feeling I get. I wanted view points from this community as well. I'll probably see it anyway.

I'm going to catch it tomorrow - I'll do my usual thang and write up a review.

I am sure it will "rock" and set a MOOD of totall BFGoodness.

This thread was telefragged by badassness.

I telefragged myself while watching this movie!

Telefragging FTW.

From what ive heard its ok as a movie itself but lacks many things which brings it down.... a story line, and any relevence to the title is lacking... also it has the rock which is like an automatic -10 points

conker · Oct 21, 2005, 10:29 PM // 22:29

well the yahoo critics gave a c-, but they also gave The longest yard, which in my opinon was funny as hell a C or something.... soo,.,

I don't know about this one. Movies based on games have been generally underwhelming. And as was previously stated

I'll look here to see if it is any good though. Hopefully you guys can put up some good reviews. I'm counting on you all.

NOOO they are making a Halo 2 movie as well. AGH all games made into movies turn out like crap.

The rock in some other movies are o.k. at best. The scorpion king wasn't bad but I mean he just doesn't fit into DOOM. As soon as I saw the preview I knew it was going to suck. I really hope halo 2 won't suck lol

People die in it, it's a winner.

DarkWasp · Oct 22, 2005, 07:25 PM // 19:25

As long as they dont plan to create a Half-Life movie, I am ok.

I am hoping the DOOM movie is good though, because the only thing cool about Doom 3 is the shadows. Ooh yeah, and the switching off your flashlight to use a gun was intense. All ive played is the demo though, the first FPS demo I ever got bored playing on my first run.

karunpav · Oct 22, 2005, 07:58 PM // 19:58

The DOOM movie won't be too great imo. I don't even think it will take place on Mars, which is a total rip-off. And those "professional" critics at Yahoo always give movies bad scores. They were never loved as children, so they take out their anger on movies.

Stayfrosty · Oct 22, 2005, 08:03 PM // 20:03

It was decent.. I was hoping or a little more mindless killing (which is what doom is all about) The ending was bad tho.. there was an ending 100x beeter about 30 seconds before the regular ending.

For those of you that saw it, picture this. Just as that grenade blows up in the end, blast into the doom3 intro song at the part where it picks up in beat.

Just got back from catching this flick - and I have to say... What the hell was everyone whining about? This movie wasn't even close to as bad as credics said it would. Let me bring it down, for ya.. It's a 3rd action, a 3rd horror and a 3rd suspence. It's not supposed to SCARE you, it's supposed to give you a creepy atmosphere. The scenes were pretty good with the beasties, too. Lots of blood and violence, lots of cool monster effects. Even the Rock's acting wasn't that bad. Probably the best he's done, which is the equivilant of a chair, mind you.

Now, for what everyone was curious about - the first person scene. I gotta say, I was impressed. It was pulled off rather well, espcially the fight scene with "Pinky".

In the end, it's made for those who like guns, violence, space, monsters, demons, action, and most of all, the DOOM games. It's not made for the person looking for something as scarey as Ringu.

As a DOOM gamer and a fan of science fiction, I give this movie a 7/10. I would've liked it better if there were more beasties and a scene that invovled the hell you wintnessed in a game, but it was still nicely pulled off. I'll be buying this on DVD.

There was a First Person scene and that was the best part of the movie by far..it was funny how godly he was. Worth it just for that scene alone, however it's good all around.

10x better than House of the Dead

RotteN · Oct 23, 2005, 01:07 AM // 01:07

seen the trailer, liked the 1st person view part in it, might just go see it

Sir Skullcrasher · Oct 23, 2005, 02:31 AM // 02:31

saw the movie last night, and it inspire me to play DOOM3 over again.. which im doing right now.

Not bad, and WAY!! better than Resident Evil 2.

8/10 for me!

entropy · Oct 23, 2005, 02:44 AM // 02:44

Wow now that people say its not half bad i might actually have to see it... Just maybe
