DOOM - A mindless and violent movie, not very interesting, shallow story. There's a first-person-shooter sequence in the movie where the guy goes around with a big gun and shooting, with the same point of view as in the game. It was just like watching over somebody's shoulder who's playing the game, and it was kind of boring. In general, it seems that movies which are based on video games tend not to be great movies. This movie is similar to Resident Evil in many ways but even Resident Evil, which wasn't that good, was still better than Doom.

That's becuase DOOM had very little story. A movie needs a story; a game, not so much.

Re: OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately
 

The Tomb Raider movies were based on a game... I found them entertaining, but then that franchise had already been expanded with comic books and the like too. You are right though, Doom sucked butt big time.

An interesting movie but not something to write home about. Its ok to watch if your bored and want to spend two hours watching a hot chick in black beat the [censored] out of stupid black clad bad guys.

Munich
Why was this move made? Its not a bad movie just really no point to it. I found it to be an uninteresting and a bit preachy. Generally after watching it, I just had to ask myself why I wasted two hours of my life watching a movie that was extremely uninteresting.

The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobep
Man what a horrible boring and uninspiring chop job on the book. - Nuff said.

MI III
Put the breaks on! Please no more MI movies! Twas a interesting thrill ride with a lack luster story and a dumb plot. I want my $12.50 back!

A History Of Violence
Boring!

Million Dollar Baby
A very good movie. I can see why everyone loved it. Twas a good movie to watch.

And they removed all of the game's actual story, too.

Are hell-spawned demons not PC, or something?

Re: OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately
 

Hell DOOM 3 removed the orginal DOOM story in order to seem simular to the movie. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

I liked it, too, although I thought the premise was implausible: 30-year-old waitress works a few months with aging veteran trainer, then immediately dominates younger, more experienced opponents with an unbroken string of KOs right up throught the championship. If they HAD to use Eastwood, Freeman, and Swank, I suppose it was the best they could do. However, I think I'd prefer younger actors and a longer, less meteoric career so the main character would really EARN her title, not have it handed to her on a screenwriter's plate.

I am just waiting for Rocky VI where he trains his 45 year old, ex-drugie son to fight Mr. T's illegitimate half black, half Latino bisexual cross dressing nephew for the ***** Slapping World Title and they end up falling in love while riding robotic steers in the local gay biker bar after a couple of long islands. With all the "PC" in movies these days, you never know.

PC?? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

I think PC = political correctness.
