What Went Wrong with DOOM?

[@jwnj9716]

I don't mind it. It's flawed, sure, but it's entertaining. It's definitely better than Doom Annihilation.

Remake this with Karl Urban again with the director of Hardcore Henry, and I'll queue up on opening night.

[@ikecarr5989]

In 1998, '99, DOOM was supposed to get the movie treatment with Todd MacFarlane, producing, and producing the action figures through his company. However, one thing you seem to have forgotten happened on April 20th of 1999. The Columbine High School Massacre. After the two students decided to mow down their fellow classmates. In the aftermath, the music of Maryline Manson, violent movies, and video games. With DOOM firmly in the crosshairs of politicians and the media as being the driving force behind the S.O.B.S. killing spree. The game's satanic imagery was was also pointed to as another reason for the students' bloody rampage. Not surprisingly the talk of the movie went out the window. And seeing how the movie totally took out any references to demons, satanic imagery. Any possible reference to Detroit. And went with genetic engineering, and a rather generic setting for the setting in order not to connect to Columbine Massacre.

[@Missy-24]

I kind of like it. Not a gamer, so I had no expectations. I like the actors. Most characters have someone to make them memorable. I was watching an Agatha Christie adaptation and one of the actors was oddly familiar. It took me a few seconds to realize it was Goat (I didn't remember the name but I remembered the character).

[@markkumanninen6524]

An original Doomer from '93, I was so disappointed I didn't watch it through. Had it on DVD which I took to garbage bin. Thanks for the affirmation of my experience.

[@deanvillarreal147]

Seen this movie in theaters. Loved it. Still do

[@ZKTheGreat]

I thought Doom was a great movie and I've watched it a few times over the years.

[@Nave4x4]

I bought my Doom DVD copy (unrated version) whilst deployed in Afghanistan back in 2006. Was the best movie ever? No, but it brings me some memories from back then.

[@whatsinthebox9732]

I actually really liked this movie, we don’t get enough “spec team enters a facility and crazy alien hell shit starts happening” movies these days. Plus without it The Rock wouldn’t be a star today lol.

[@caseysmith7283]

I look back at it fondly. Not anything genre defining, but it’s not the worst way to spend 90 minutes.

[@BlueBullsFan]

I actually watched the movie a couple of times. Quite entertaining.

[@elizabethandreassen1012]

This is a guilty pleasure of mine, and honestly, not that guilty

[@johnclements6070]

Guilty pleasure for me.

[@mikenunoz]

Doom has always been part of my gamer life, so when I heard they were making a movie I was sooo hyped. Then opening day came and I was pretty disappointed.

[@SylvesterAshcroft88]

I quite liked the film, but i felt like it was inspired by the games not based on them, i feel like Doom 2016 however, was a better depiction of the doom story in a cinematic storyline, with a focus on gameplay, with the fist of the doom slayer saying everything that needs to be said.

[@kikynessanez5060]

I think I might be in minority but I like this movie a lot It's flawed? It is It's hella good and entertainment assured? YES I can watch it again and again Urban is so cool, he always is a pleasure to see, he make his character with depth even of there's not much to work with And Dwayne surprised me, because here's where I started to like him He's actually a good actor This is one pretty good movie for me But, you know, there's a flavor for every taste

[@LetsWatchTV89]

I liked it, but i have never played the video games so maybe that's why

[@taylordudley3673]

I love this film, I'll be honest. its not even a guilty pleasure, just pleasure haha

[@GaryTurbo]

It was almost nothing like the games

[@thecunninlynguist]

Thought it was decent enough...and rhe rock wasnt the ego manaic he is now

[@disclaimer.imjokin]

You respect the final boss 😉

[@sr20det85]

It’s Hollywood leave it to them to screw up a story that is already written for them. I’m sure it was because somebody was trying to push an agenda. Somebody probably didn’t like the hell part about the game/story. I was on of the unlucky ones that saw it in the theaters. I also saw mortal Kombat annihilation lol

[@cursedmonkey1033]

Such wasted potential. They had it all right there. All that great content. The hell dimension. The soul cube. They ignored all of it.

[@JMartNotKMart]

I enjoy this movie when not comparing it to the games. I’d like to see Halo and Doom get proper, lore accurate, live-action adaptations.

[@army103]

I didn't love it, but I wouldn't lump Doom in with the many video game movie utter failures. It's still entertaining enough that I'll put it on every couple of years...and boy, is it ever shocking to see how tiny the Rock looked back then compared to how absurdly jacked he's gotten over the years!

[@charlesdavis7285]

I never played the games but I enjoyed it for what it is.

[@boogiedaddy3434]

I could not agree more. Where the hell is the HELL? I'm a horror nerd that tends to watch just about everything multiple times. Not this one. It was a one and done. Never looked back.

[@Curarkaig]

By the time Doom came out, all I wanted from a video game adaptation was that it’s fun to watch. I knew video game movies were never gonna be good (special thanks to Uwe Boll). So I enjoyed Doom in the theater. I still watch it from time to time. It sucks, it’s corny, it’s dumb, but it was fun. And let’s face it, the real take away is that Karl Urban deserves a successful nerdy franchise that’s entirely about him. He’s been screwed over way too many times.

[@THEchiQ]

I know people who worked on the games. I’ve never mentioned this to them. I never will 🙃

[@RafaelHernandez-or8wj]

This is admittedly a guilty pleasure movie for me. I think it gets a lot of hate due to how much it deters from the source material but if you can get over the fact it's a videogame adaptation and just watch it as a B science fiction action movie there's definitely some fun to be had and come on this movie gave us the Rock vs Karl Urban!

[@Mrey23]

I have to be honest, when I watched it in the theatre back when it was first released, I remember going in with zero expectations, and I think that is reason why I still enjoy watching this movie, because for what its worth, I think it is still telling an interesting story. Sure, they could have presented everything better, but I prefer to appreciate what we did get. On another note: Imagine if they attempted to make a Doom movie in the early 90s when the game itself was released, now THAT would have been a terrible watch... probably a Troma picture haha

[@erikneill3590]

I don't care, 90% schlock, but that FPS section is the stuff dreams are made of. Watch it over and over again just for that part. AAA

[@killerVeNoM101]

It was Fine & Fun.

[@kalgrove6426]

Seems like the easiest properties to adapt become the most difficult for Hollywood? 9 times out of 10 it falls back on dumb decisions by the top studio suits who control the money.

[@jimmyhass4900]

I agree completely

[@MortonsReviews]

I liked this when I was young. I haven't watched it in years. So I had to order it for my collection lol.

[@zombiejlt1]

I remember going to see this in theaters. The only time the audience banded together and enjoyed the film was the 1st person segment. The crowd actually cheered as most of us were DOOM players. But when it ended, all I remembering hearing was the disappointment. The script pays no respect to the source material, and it doesn't resepct the fans. Performances are phoned in, but I still enjoy the 1st person segment for what it is and what it attempted. I still wonder what the whole film would have been if it was all in 1st person perspective, but like most game adaptions, you kind of know what to expect. They tried to sell this movie based on the franchise name alone and because it has The Rock, but honestly, I still don't believe The Rock is a great actor and this is not DOOM to me. Its DOOM in Name Only.

[@wstine79]

Thankfully, this won't be the last time Karl Urban gets to handle a BFG inside tight corridors against bad guys.

[@Outlier777]

It's absolute shit, but it's so much better than the games. Especially those new ones. The colour palette on the Teletubbies was darker than that.

[@kilgoretrout9725]

Saw it in Cinemas. We were like, “What the fuuiuuhhhh?”

[@Axolotl_Mischief]

IDGaF, it stars Karl Urban & The Rock.

[@dadpoolcocktails]

Spencer Wilding would be the perfect Doom guy, no dialog needed from Doom guy just balls to the wall action

[@lucynyu333]

I saw this movie in the cinema when it came out and was bored and disappointed with it. The first person shooting scene was the only exciting part. Hopefully one day they will make a decent one because I'm a dreamer.

[@Lethal_Dose_Gaming]

As a huge fan of the game, the only good part was the fps portion that was what 7mins of the film? What they made was resident evil in space. You could put any other title on this film and it would still make sense LoL

[@johnjamesleahy4065]

Just to be clear about the doom annihilation movie...was that hell and demons in that dimension or were those aliens?? I think it was hell and demons But for for some reason I can't remember clearly lol I appreciate any info, and if it was hell and demons, It's crazy that the movie that 6 closer to the source material turns out to be crappier LOL

[@johnjamesleahy4065]

I meant to say STICKS not 6 😇

[@StuntmanDanHemi]

The people who made The Night Comes For Us need to give it a shot at Doom, they perfectly made a action movie so bloody and violent it's one step away from a horror movie, they just need to add hell and the monsters, which apparently its too difficult to get.... but they have potential

[@Emulous79]

I gave away my DVD to a charity shop where some unfortunate person may have picked it up. In fact, I should have burnt it, Tenebre-style, so that nobody COULD pick it up.

[@brightfalls6788]

It’s one of the most fun and rewatch-able sci-fi movies of the passed 30 years, and in fact, also one of the very few good video game movies. Hating on it is low IQ herd mentality behavior. I hope we can eventually move away from pretentious hipster sci-fi like Interstellar and The Martian, and get back to the real stuff like Chronicles Of Riddick, Doom, Pandorum etc…

[@NaglfarCommando]

I enjoy it. Have since it came out. Karl Urban did great and the FPS segment was outstanding. Dont give a fuck what anyone says.

[@Terrible0x0Trivium]

This was not a failure. Resident Evil followed absolutely zero story beats from the games and yet there were 7 of those for some reason. This movie gets an undeserved amount of hate.

[@franksavage8031]

Too darn dark, but it's not bad.

[@thespiken]

I love doom, The unrated edition is great,the theatrical is the dumbest theatrical release I’ve ever seen for a film(it would also seem that universal agrees as the film is only ever to my knowledge available physically in the unrated extended edition version),it’s missing its visual continuity. I think if they had released the unrated edition in theaters the film might have been a bigger success to the likes of resident evil(2002),I personally unlike the sequels to resident evil feel that sequels to this version of doom would have been more acceptable since none of the resident evil sequels come even close to the 2002 film(it’s a 10/10 experience),not even rain ocampos cloned return in retribution. The theatrical versions editing is what happens when someone takes a film like aliens(1986-1990) and decides to edit out more then 17 minutes of footage,in the process harming the overall film (for no reason as some films are meant to be 1 hour 45 minutes or longer). Also the 2005 doom soundtrack/score is 10/10. Lastly I personally feel that if universal combined doom(2005) with doom annihilation(2019) that we’d have a pretty awesome movie(the budget,cast,music,effects and creature design of doom with the hell,space marines,moon setting and green(actually used on more then walls) colored BFG weapon).

[@buddah1221]

they could've done a literal shot for shot remake of the Doom 3 campaign and it still would have been better than this then again I absolutely loved Doom 3 so that may be a biased take

[@Gerickmb]

I liked it. Iiked the extra chromosome thing and yes this is from someone that has played almost every version of doom and doom 3 is probably favorite. I know it’s the black sheep and so am I for what I’m saying but I always wished Doom was more “Survival Horror”
