@ empire_man, you are not the only one who enjoyed it!

when i first saw it, i enjoyed that part, it was ridiculous, and i like ridiculous.

I took one offence to this movie, it wasn't about hell, that is the dumbest thing you could do to a Doom movie.

Oh and the BFG was blue.

I agree with this review 100%. It's an okay movie, but still fun.

I remember when I saw this in the theatre, you could hear people flipping out when at the end they jumped into FPS. It was a pretty awesome nod to the Doom game.

Doom had its moments of 'man that's so stupid its awesome' but for the most part yeah, bad movie is bad. Its sad, I think the acting and story in Doom 3 was actually better.  Soulcube ftw.

I agree on every point but I FPS scene. I actually really liked it. Thought it was cool and something really different to do. I hate all the build up to the BFG and then it gets fired like once. Looking forward to TANG: Max Payne.

Probably the greatest part of the movie was the dueling notions of ridiculous with the portal to hell and DNA. It seems like you could just do another dimension and call it a day. But it was not to be.

I never thought the first person scene was as bad as most people did. Yeah it's kinda stupid but so was the rest of the movie. They were trying something different, it just wasn't that great.

What if they had made the entire movie from that first person view? That could be really cool or maybe a disaster.

I don't know how long the fps sequence was in the theatrical version, (because I didn't see it in the theather) but the extended dvd version is way too long, and honestly boring. It's cute, but it really just feels like an on-rails shooter. I do own the dvd ($6 at Best Buy!), and I thought it was enjoyable, it certainly has that "so bad it's good" quality to it. I did cringe everytime they made a reference to the game, because they were all just silly, and took me out of the movie. The problem is that aside from the monsters, there's nothing that really makes this a "Doom" movie, so any references to the game just seemed out of place. So as a "Doom" movie, it's an insult, but as a generic sci-fi action flick, it's bad, but I'm ok with bad.

Never seen the movie but I heard about the first person thing.  I think what gamers care about most is that the film makers respect the fans of the game who made the movie possible in the first place...most of the time they seem impossible to please, but the easiest way to please gamers with movies is to tie it in with the game whenever possible.  I don't think they could have avoided making this movie the least bit ridiculous, unless they got Christopher Nolan to write it or something.  Most games are like b-movies anyway, so to have a videogame movie that feels like a b-movie (despite a bigger budget) is appropriate.  But overall I don't think gamers are really dying to have their favorite games made into movies...that may just be me though.  A game as big as Doom seems like it deserves it though, even if it doesn't turn out that great.

The first time I watched the first-person scene I thought it was super cool, if not a bit cheesy.
Seeing it again, I never realized how freakin slow the dude moves.

As a doom fan I thought they ruined this movie. It sucked. The FPS bit was so bad! Not only was it a dumb idea but the monsters kinda just walked into view and died. No thought what so ever.

LOL @ the ending.

*semi-spoiler thats semi-revealed in this video*

The only thing I really liked about this movie was that The Rock ended up as the bad guy, largely through his own choice as well. T'was a nice twist. Other than that, I agree totally with Ryans opinions.

Oh also, the 1st person sequence was a really bad idea that seriously cheapened the movie (even more?).

Man I hated this movie...it's the Doom movie and it takes them something like 40 minutes before the killing starts. If those 40 minutes had been worthwhile, fine, but they were nothing but fake-out jumpscares and expository dialogue.
TANG rocks though. No questioning that.

If they really wanted to be true to the game in the first person sequence they would have had all those enemies comming at him from behind, or else a bunch running out of a small closet.
