This might be old news for some of you, but I wanted to point this out to any Doom fans on the forums that might be lurking around, if there are any, who haven’t heard of it. There hasn’t been much coverage on this lately and it might just be rumor, but I fear another abomination will be in theaters soon. Any one have any rumors or facts about this? Is there really gonna be another one? If so, will it be as horrendous as the first or do you think it will good?

Another Doom movie? Seems like a last-gasp-cash-grab for those PC gamers old enough to remember Doom, or those same gamers with precocious preteens. At any rate, what I know about movies seems to hinge on three main factors: the producer (mr. or mrs. Moneybags), director, and director of photography should be on the same continent. Greenlighting a production with California money when the movie is being shot in the Czech republic only works for Sundance and…that’s pretty much it. And basing a movie on a videogame has not worked well in the past, due to most games having an idiosyncratic appeal that translates poorly to cinematics. Books and comics are an easier bid, because all the writing and character development has already been undertaken by the author of that comic/book. Expecting anything better than the original is hopeful, but foolish. Pay to see that movie, and you’ll be walking out 12 minutes later.

Doom is pretty cool movie.
I like what they did with the makeup on the people playing the demons. Fun stuff.
I can certainly see why hardcore fans would hate it, as it isn’t a direct adaptation of the games’s story, but hardcore fans are usually closed-minded butt-indents anyway.

I love the franchise and I’d certainly pay to see a sequel to the first film.
It would probably be a take on the whole “hell on earth” motif that Doom II is supposed to be parading around.

The man who played Doomguy in the first is now playing Judge Dredd. write a book of complaints about it, y’crybabies.

I liked the Doom movie. It was a fun action packed movie that i still enjoy watching from time to time. :retard:

#5

I only liked the first person view part.

#6

Another? I never even heard of the first one! Then again I don’t play Doom.

#7

:what:

#8

I admire you honesty. Hell, I like you. NOW LEMME SEE YER WAR FACE!

#9

:open_mouth:

#10

Semper Fi motherfucker.

#11

"Hell, I like you. Why don’t you come over to my house and fuck my sister? "

was the line, I believe.

#12

Another case against the use of movie quotes in conversation.

Read a dictionary and string some words together on your own.

positives:

  • monsters
  • idea of the chromosome 24
  • FPS part
  • funny moment on the toilet :smiley:

negatives:

  • very lame story (f.e. they should´ve shown more from the Reaper´s past)
  • not thrilling enough
  • not scarry enough
  • too short

Seen it one time was enough for me. Hope the second movie will be better…

I will kill myself if Uwe Boll is the director.

#15

My only complaint about the movie was is lack of matching with the game series.
The monsters weren’t from Hell… they were damn science experiments on humans.
To make up for it, I’d see some Experiment-Gone-Beserk On Earth, assuming someone created a second portal. :slight_smile:

The other problem with the movie, although minor, is that they changed the the name of the BFG 9000 from Big Fucking Gun 9000 to Bio Force Gun, which pissed off a lot of fans; including me. If it isn’t broken don’t fix it. Also, it doesn’t make sense naming it Bio Force Gun, because the gun shoots highly concentrated plasma balls and has nothing to do with living things. If the gun shot highly concentrated balls of bacteria that would make sense, but it doesn’t.

#17

I recall them saying “That’s a big fucking gun”. It might not have been the actual name in the movie but they do call it that.

#18

The Rock did say that, but they should have left the official name of it in the movie as BFG 9000.

#19

Plus Bio Force Gun sounds fucking retarded. It sounds like a name a 12 year old would give a gun if he was pretending to be a scientist.

#20

Nobody likes paying for more of the same. I’m glad they changed what they did.
