There was no general thread for Doom and it comes out this week, so here you go.
I went in with zero expectations. I came out with less than I went in. I want pieces of my soul back.
Actually, I went in hoping for the best. To be pleasantly surprised.
Instead, I got what had to be, I shit you not, the worst film I have ever had to sit through in my entire life.
Battlefield: Earth considered.
Discuss.
Why did you see it?
Tell me you didn't chose to.
Could have scored a pass for tonight, but I didn't feel like it. Gonna go on Friday, knowing full well that this is probably going to hurt. Will report back when I do.
there's no way this will out do alone in the dark, so it'll be worth my 9.00
Those are some pretty big words there, friend.Quote:

Have you seen Mission to Mars? Because in my book that beats Battlefield Earth for worst movie ever without even trying. Hell, for the music alone. Doom has mutant freaks, so it has to be at least a step above that.
Battlefield Earth is the worst film ever, followed closely by House of the Dead.
Obviously none of you have seen Alex & Emma.
House of the Dead is nowhere near as bad as Alone in the Dark. At least House of the Dead is laughably bad.... AITD is just painfully bad.Quote:

Ghosts of Mars made me cry.
I will love it then since I have liked every film mentioned in this thread outside of AITD (haven't seen it yet).
But I will openly admit that I like B grade horror/sci fi....
I didn't even know that Alone in the Dark had come out. It must really be as bad as you say.Quote:

Doom is is 60 minutes of that with jack shit happening, followed by a 10 minute, poorly edited FPS sequence that is like a really shitty version of Star Tours, then 10 minutes of Wire-Fu and you're out.
With less of your soul.
Add Bad Boys II to the list of worst films ever. That movie has permanently killed my desire to see any action film.
Doom has Wire-Fu?
Man, I really enjoyed RE: Apocalypse.
Is there or is there not a Cyber Demon.
Doubt it since there aren't any demons at all in this one. Just the "infected".Quote:

See, this is what kills me. All the environments are perfect. The monsters, while just infected jerks, are perfectly realized imps and .. that pig-dog thing. It's just everything else that is terrible.
Doom dethrones Double Dragon as the worst video game movie.
DD had the girl with the nice booty.. does this also have nice booty?
Man, The Rock picks the shittiest movies to star in. He'll be doing direct-to-video in no time.
OH yes forgot about this crap, I watched 30min , and couldn't stand the rest of it.Quote:

If you'll look at the link, you'll see that he was doing dramatic and comedy roles before he hit it big as an action star with Conan.
But being a huge wrestling star already, Rock came with his own built-in fan base and and big-time name recognition. His initial movies were successful not because they were actually good, but because The Rock was in them. Therefore, with every shitty movie Rock does, he's actually fucking up that rep that had previously been his big advantage. Believe me, now more than ever, people love to see an actor fail and will abandon them to direct-to-video land in a second if they fail to deliver the goods.
Me 4, moreso than the first one in fact, though not because it was a good movie. But it was a good RESIDENT EVIL movie. And goddamnit, it had Nemesis blowing up the fucking town and Jill Valentine in her hooker outfit. I really, really loved that shit.Quote:

Well then...Its a pass for me if its THAT bad...Quote:

Really, there's so much cool shit in the RE games that you have to wonder why they would be doing anything but packing as many characters/monsters/whatever from the games in as possible. RE2 was a much better movie for the fans because of it.Quote:

Rundown was great fun.
Walking Tall was okay.
Scorpion King was good stuff.
Be Cool was alright.
I expect Doom to just be a piece of crap though. I wish it could be good but I mean, it has a FPS scene. WTF?
No. fuck YOU.Quote:

I havent seen House of the Dead yet, but it cant be worse than the RE sequel. At least it probably has some hot chicks in it.
agreed, it was just worse than bad. the animality scene ..its till burns. at least the tv series had some attractive women, this gave nothing to anyone.Quote:

The Rock was on The Daily Show, and Jon Stewart was really excited about it. And showed that he really loves Doom a lot, and kept asking nerdy questions. It was pretty humerous. Rock even brought the BFG with him.
It was funny when Stewart asks him "Are all the demons in it?"
and the Rock goes, "Yep, everyone of them."
Stewart, "Even those brown guys that throw the skulls!"
Rock, "Well...skull guy did not make it." And then the crowd kind of booed him and the rock goes, "Now hold on, Pinky the demon and the barron are all it, all of the creatures in it." So I guess all the creatures, means some of the creatures.
Also when they were showing the clip of the movie before the Rock came out, the crowd was laughing through the whole thing. They were laughing I think because of how awful the movie looks, I was laughing as well. It looks really bad.
MOTHERFUCKING OWNED!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA....ha.Quote:

It had the T-Virus, Umbrella, zombies, dogs, lickers, Nemesis, Jill Valentine exploding out of a tube top, Raccoon City, S.T.A.R.S., and lots of explosions and bullets flying. Did I meantion Nemesis? Improved by adding a sick-as-fucking-ass chaingun?
Perhaps you've never played the RE series and were thinking the scripts were composed by Shakespeare and the direction handled by Martin Scorsese, but in reality that's ALL the games amounted to and the movie captured it perfectly. Sure, it's shit compared to The Godfather but compared to Super Mario Brothers, it's a fucking masterpiece.
BTW, using Batman Forever to further your argument was a bad choice. Talk about shitting on your subject matter. After all, I don't recall non-stop neon, Two-Face and the Joker looking like flaming, flaming homosexuals, and Batsuits with molded nipples and asscracks in the comics. I'm suprised Bats didn't have a giant rubber cock too.
And House of the Dead is the greatest movie ever. I LOLed for hours.
Scorpion King sucked... Sorry just wanted to say that. The chick looked good though.Quote:

It's just that so many other zombie movies did the genre better, I just expected more out of the movie.Quote:

You can pick up House of the Dead at Walmart for $5.50.
Ah, it finally met it's destiny.
The Walmart 5.50 dvd bin. Now it can live in harmony with Monkeybone, Bedazzled and the American Godzilla.
I have to agree with you 100% about Mila and her flat, curve-less, man-boy of a body. In the right lighting and with enough make-up, her face can be pretty hot, but otherwise she's the NAMBLA poster boy. She's really about the only thing I didn't care for in RE:A. I would have preferred Chris Redfield and Barry Motherfucking Burton instead.Quote:

In that case, I feel I should point out something to you:Quote:

House of the Dead = is so bad it's awesome. Rent it. Now.
Alone in the Dark = is so bad it's complete shit. As in, I walked out on it. No entertainment value in any form whatsoever. I was so sad.
I think some of you need to watch movies like Doom without thinking it's going to be Casablanca. If you catch my drift.
Your sig is way too huge.Quote:

you couldnt pay me to take HoTD. I dont know why anyone would even subject themselves to it more than once.
wow...doom was...uh.......yeah
wire fu is bad
the fps scene was fucking legendary(pinky demon = win)
overall story was horrible, but it's not like i didnt expect it
that white bitch needs to learn how to act. pick a fucking accent and stick with it.
the rock's teeth sure are white.
and i'm through with movies trying to turn humans into monsters. it just makes them(the script writer) come up with some dumbass excuse to pass off to us, instead of just coming up with a decent concept.
but hey; at least i got a free poster.

You know, I always wondered what it would be like if RE started off as a movie first with those very same actors playing. Chris is the coolest for lighting the cig the way he's doing.
HOTD had some really nice pieces of ass in it, lot's of tit in this one.
Just got back! The FPS sequence was fucking boss. Go see it for just that. Decent action/sci-fi movie otherwise. Whitefolks is right about the wire-fu.
Is there some sort of disorder where something which is 300 pixels high is offensive and requires a mention?Quote:

Taken to the sig-bitching thread, because I should know better. If you don't want to go there, though, here's the moral of the story: Jonas is a fucking moron.
The story in this movie sucked...horribly. Maybe if the game had never existed I MIGHT'VE appreciated the movie story better but the fact is that I didn't. Where the fuck were the demons? Why did they have to sway away from the game in a way that they knew wasn't going to be appreciated by the fans? Why oh why?
That being said I'll give the movie a 6.5 out of 10. The FPS sequence was pretty neat though I thought the whole super-soldier concept was stupid and I was mad when the Rock lost his god-damn mind at the end of the movie suddenly and without warning (before he was infected). There was plenty of shooting but only two significant enemies (the imp and Hell-knight with a nod to the zombies) but these enemies didn't do what they should've done (climbed around on walls, thrown fireballs and plasma-balls). The technical directing was very very so-so, shown off most significantly by the incorrect military lingo they were constantly using (Marines don't call each other soldiers and a Sergeant ((Sarge)) is in no way, shape or form, a Commanding Officer). It kind've seems they just got thrown into the shit with no briefing, warning or preperation but that's all excusable.
The movie had some decent action sequences and some stupid ones, the story was fuck-wacked, the fight between Sarge and Reaper was stupid and the movie had almost nothing to do with the game besides a whole bunch of little nods here and there. The worst part of it all was that the movie was perfectly set-up to be a completely bad-ass movie but whoever wrote the movie must've wanted to fuck it up and not make a quality film with a quality story.
If I had made the movie, I'd give the first half-hour with no contact with enemies but alerting that they were indeed there (the movie did manage to pull something like this off), instead of being a mission the Marines (or Marine) would've had to fight through the place for their own survival rather then some data retrieval mission. A lot more darkness, a lot more fucked up Satanic shit and DEMONS, not some stupid infected humans that don't even have a reason to be in the film. More nerve-wrecking stuff, demonstrating the fact that the whole endevor is really fucking up the Marines in the head and making them jumpy, so on and so forth. But what the hell do I know, I'm just a gamer that wanted to see a film based heavily on a video-game as I was kind've promised.
Sucked. It wasn't House of the Dead "funny" bad, nor was it Alone in the Dark "let me the fuck out the theater NOW" bad. It was just boring. That's it. No tension, hardly any action (in a movie based on DOOM of all games?!?), and barely any of the monsters from the games showed up. You had a few zombies, 2 or 3 imps, and one pinky. The FPS part was cheesy as all hell.
Rock is capable of showing some charisma (like in the Rundown), but here he sucked balls and turned in a laughable performance. Everyone did. And there was no tension because you didn't give a shit if anyone died. Really, if a guy named "DESTROYER" gets killed, does anyone care? Of course not. You want fucktards like that to get mauled.
Total shit sandwich of a movie, but not as painfully bad as Sl1p made it out to be. Just more vapid, forgettable, by-the-numbers Hollywood drivel. Big suprise.
Well, I apparantly hate my god damned life. .

do u no wen the ausy release is??? ive bin waiting since foreva
As soon as they release the english language down there...
So are they demons or mutants. I read that they were Resident-evil style bio-mutants instead of hellspawn, but on O&A The Rock said they're still from hell. But he said alot of shit. So which is it?
mutants due to a 'martian super human chromosome'.
foreva eva?Quote:

I know I'm going to sound like a douchebag, but wtf is Alone in the Dark? I have never of a game called Alone in the Dark.
Alone in the Dark is the series of games that Capcom ripped off to make Resident Evil. 3 on PC I believe, and the 4th was on Dreamcast I think.

Yeah, but an NCO isn't a Commanding Officer and he can't be. He can be an NCOIC but no CO.Quote:
