I recently spent a lazy Sunday morning watching the Doom movie. It was a lot better than it had any right to be, in my book - I haven't played Doom 3, but by the standards of action-sci/fi-horror movies starring The Rock, it was excellent.
I also thought the WarCraft movie was very good, but there I did grow up playing the hell out of WarCraft: Orcs and Humans, and reading and re-reading the manual with the backstory covered by the movie (not to mention the lovely concept art). Bit of a shame that it didn't do quite well enough to continue the story.
- __david__ 9y agoDoom could have better. They gratuitously changed the plot, which is funny because Doom has practically zero plot at all. And they managed to change it without improving it in the slightest—for the purposes of the movie, they could have easily gone with the "opened a portal to hell" and the rest of the movie would have been the same. Their changes were really dumb and completely pointless which was really frustrating. Also the first person part at the end was unnecessary and just wasn't good cinema (compare to Hard Core Henry which was 1st person but it worked because they really committed to it).
- unethical_ban 9y agoThe first person part was harmless and was a call out to the game. It was fun.
