Review of Doom

Doom (2005)
1/10
Doom fans need not waste their time.

I agree with MxSChizo if you look at other game to film adaptations they tend to follow the core plot from the game this movie does not. If you have never played the Doom video games before and have no idea what it's about you will mostly likely rate it higher (4-6stars maybe).

The Rock fans may not be happy with lots of hard stairs and emotionless facial expressions like normal but pretty much none of backward tongue and cheek comedy that his had with previous roles which make him likable. All the actors play fairly weak roles as there was no real depth to the characters, there was potential the Grimm siblings (played by Karl Urban and Rosamund Pike) but I was left wanting to know more. All in all to me it seemed like after the first 10 minutes the rest was filler till the last 15-20 minutes.

It becomes obvious that no thought or regard was there for the original story (from the game(s)) or fans and that it was more or less not worth making other then to cash in on a legendary name using an inferior product.
