Too much of everything

People are voting emotionally.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

DOOM presents the sci fi atmosphere of the beautiful UAC Mars station in DOOM 3 and the mystery of what is going on as well of the morals of dealing with it very well in the first half, and delivers gory action the game's fans expect in the second. DOOM 3 fans will be pleased by the references, but this can be a little hard to place in a genre. It is a bit tame for a horror or action movie, so I prefer to classify it as a thriller. Like what DOOM 3 did for the franchise, it is more about the sci fi atmosphere of the place and the mysteries surrounding it and how it might affect Earth and the people at the station. More stars if they had a little better effects and took us all the way to hell, tho. Kudos for placing a part of the sequence in the first person perspective like the game. Also, it is very faithful to the source material with the look and feel of the space station, teleporting, Pinkie the Cyberdemon, and issues with the Sarge. At first, I hated the Sarge's character development, but I also recognize it is the opportunity for the best acting in the film. Rosamund Pike also really acts her heart out in her role as sister to a marine and a devoted forensic scientist. She shows real passion and resolve in investigating the mystery, and striking shock and horror wnen it goes all wrong. She really carries the viewer from scene to scene and will help non gamers have a character to identify with. But, seriously, Karl Urban, Star Trek's "I'm a doctor" bones is doomguy ? That makes it a must see for DOOM 3 fans and modern Star Trek fans alike. I watched it twice, and was glued to my seat each time.

I was very dissapointed when I saw the movie. It is one big disgrace to the Doom games which are legendary in the gaming community. Maybe I am talking this way because I don't like Dwayne Johnson, but I know what Doom was all about.. and this movie isn't. Feels unfinished, looks unfinished, bad acting.. all summed up 4/10

The Rock is quite far from his Awesome Fast and Furious days but good enough. This movie has some really nice visuals, less use of CGI and more focus and practical effects really shows. I hated the explanation of the origins of the demons, it was unnecessary and wasn't convincing enough for me. This new origin story just made it difficult to see this as a DOOM movie, but its still an alright movie and that fps scene was pretty amazing. This could have been a great DOOM movie if only we would have got The Rock vs Cyberdemon.

Neither as bad as I had feared or as good as I had hoped, DOOM is a film that veers between being pretty good and only okay. It's a darn sight better than other modern Hollywood pap like the first two RESIDENT EVIL movies, which is a plus, but the movie has plenty of clichés and is too obviously modelled on ALIENS rather than the game itself; over the past two decades, we've had about a hundred of these "soldiers walking down corridors"-type science fiction films, and it really is enough. Still, DOOM ticks all of the right boxes, with a particular emphasis on the horror; there are zombies here (a little silly and disappointing though), monsters, bloodshed, and lots of jumpy sequences.I'm a massive fan of the game series, and I was aware that this film did stray away from the game quite a lot. Still, the inclusion of game elements like the chainsaw, the BFG, and the pink demon are fun, and the first-person shooter sequence, which lasts for about ten minutes at the end of the film, is fun, if a little cheesy. Watching as a gun goes around shooting zombies and then a chainsaw sawing up a monster is good, gruesome fun; the camera-work is far from fluid, though, and as a whole the sequence pales in comparison to a similar moment in the Thai action flick BORN TO FIGHT.The cast is one of the film's strengths. Karl Urban puts in yet another good performance; honestly, he's been great in everything he's done since LORD OF THE RINGS, and I'm looking forward to his next film, PATHFINDER. The Rock has a little deeper character than you might expect, far from being the one-dimensional marine hero that the film introduces him as; his character's twist makes for one of the film's most involving moments. Lower down the cast list, the performances are strong as well. It's great to see Dexter Fletcher in a Hollywood movie, and he makes the best of his kooky, wheelchair-bound role; he also delivers the film's best line, "There's something behind me, isn't there!" Richard Brake (the parent-killer in BATMAN BEGINS) also puts in a good turn as a nasty soldier. Sadly, Rosamund Pike is the film's weakest link, incredibly wooden and miscast as a scientist.The film's special effects are fantastic; the monsters look really good and gruesome and there's fun to be had from portal doorways and the BFG blasts. It's just a shame that the monsters are seen so little on screen; 90% of the action takes place in really dark corridors, so your eyes end up straining to try and make out what's going on. Still, the movie does pack plenty of incident into the running time, there are some fun twists and turns that make it stand out, and fans of the game will have fun. Not a masterpiece, but an enjoyable film all the same.
