Doom

Critics have become a group of doomsayers in appraising Doom. Certainly few of them have played the video game on which it is based, something that many of them readily admit. No, I haven't played it, and I never will, writes Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times, but I know how it feels not to play it, because I've seen the movie. Doom is like some kid came over and is using your computer and won't let you play. Lou Lumenick in the New York Post simply writes off the movie as another sorry chapter in Hollywood's infatuation with video games, and Roger Moore in the Orlando Sentinel says it's not worth turning off the PlayStation to go see. But Victor Godinez in the Dallas Morning News regards Doom as a surprisingly non-kitschy action film. He concludes: Video game-based movies have become something of a dirty word in recent years, but Doom is good enough to stand on its own merits. It may not win any Oscars, but it is entertaining.

INTENDED FOR THE FANS OF THE GAME. Similar to doom3 only crappier graphics wise. Karl Urban looked like a decent hero. Was'nt Rosamund Pike a bong girl? WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED? Frankly the one scene I enjoyed was when the movie changes it's view to first person for 2 minutes. (Killzone/Doom3 look, would love to see that in a game.)
