Doom The Movie

Recommended Posts

Guest Biggles

It frightens me that I actually want to go watch this movie. It looks like they may have done a decent job, and of course The Rock is proving to be a good actor.

 

Anyone else want to see it?

Not I, it looks like one big pile of shit.

 

And the reviews are finally coming in at RT, with 29% and 20%.

 

The trailers look horrible, just horrible, so I doubt that it's anything I even would consider "good" bad.

 

Most of the good reviews are from the "geek" crowd, saying that it's a pretty good film version of a video game, and that may be true, but that doesn't mean it's a good movie. I can't be the only one who hates the trailers as much as I do.

The Rock needs that big Terminator or Rocky type role to really put him over the top as a major star. There is literally zero reason why Vin Diesel should draw 100 million in some stuff while the Rock can't. I assume the wrestling aspect is a drawback.

Now, I wonder, OrangeGoblin...

Will he talk to the Imps and go "NOW THIS AIN'T SING-ALONG WITH THE SOLDIER NIGHT!"

 

Because, if so...it would be the greatest movie ever.

Is it true that:

 

In one part of the flick, maybe in the FPS segment, someone gets killed but is brought back to life because of an "extra life"?

I'll mention one more thing. That short clip they aired on USA after RAW, while I didn't think it was "good", it did make me laugh my ass off. Seeing that monster grab that one guy, and bang him into all of those walls, it was like a really bad SNL skit or something.

Maybe Rock would be doing a bit better if he had taken the lead role in "The One." I think he would have done well in the role and could have given him a big jump with the action genre.

he was slated to do "The One"?  Interesting...no offense to Jet Li, his Hong Kong stuff is good, but I haven't liked anything he's done over here...

 

If an action movie with him and Jackie Chan was made, and they ended up fighting each other by the end of the movie, would you like something of his?

it's funny you mention that because I've actually wanted that...maybe I did say that once and you remember? Happy B-day, btw...

 

I'd go for a cop/crime lord movie with Chan as the cop and Jet Li as the crime lord...actually, the other way around may be better, but I don't see Chan playing a heel...

DOOM looks like it'll be hilariously bad so I am going. It's not like anything good comes out this weekend. And last weekend unleashed the horrible FOG so that is a to be avoided. I'm a little bit ticked that Serenity is already out of theaters cause I was going to double dip.

Yes, at one point, the movie was titled "Untitled Rock Sci-Fi movie" I do believe. Of course, the script was changed to make it more martial arts when Rock had to turn it down and Jet Li took over.

I love the Rock, I love mindless slaughter, and I'm halfway through Doom 3 and loving that.

 

So, yeah, I'm going. This probably won't be the best movie I see this month or this year, for that matter but dammit, I'm going to enjoy myself. I'm one of those geeks that will give it a favorable review because I love Doom and/or the Rock. :P

Just got back from Doom

 

Not as bad as one would think. Brainless enjoyable military fun, Rock steals the show and keeps the movie from being a shitter.

 

Not enough monsters though, but letft open for a sequel.
