When a co-worker described it as being as bad as Super Mario Brothers, I decided to pass on it.

movie based on a videogame = bad idea
movie based on a video game with no real plot = terrible idea
movei based on a video game with no real plot featuring the rock and talking guns = no ****** way.

What's he supposed to say?  It's nothing like the game and it sucks?  

I saw the same interview, and it sounded like everything he said was spoon fed to him straight from one of the studio's marketing guys.

Well, considering the game's plot line pretty much just revovles killing things, it's not too hard to stray from the story line.   Too bad though they didn't follow the story from Doom 3.

I think he means they used a lot of "pwned!" and "OMG!" in the dialogue.

Guns did you also hear the disgust from the crowd when he mentioned the Skull-Thrower wasnt in the movie.  At that point right there, I knew it would be a flop.  You can't make these kind of movies without die-hard fans nitpicking and ruining it for those not familiar with the originals.

I'm waiting for the movie to prove me wrong.

So, they take a video game where someone immerses themselves in, and actually Does something to manipulate the story along, and turn it into a movie where you sit and watch the game unfold.

Hollywood is out of ideas, time for a new form of entertainment.

How could it stick closely to the game?  In the game, a portal to hell has opened.  Sure, you have Pinky, but he's the result of genetic mutation?

Are there the goat headed guys?  The spiderdemon guys with the machine guns?  Is the BFG really that FB?  I saw a shot in the trailer where it looked...  underwhelming.  It was more of a SBNRBG (Sorta But Not Really Big Gun).  Not as catchy, sure....


BTW, I made the mistake of seeing the movie 'Domino'.  It is the dawn of a new genre of films that I will refer to as "Suck-noire".

If anything Domino has Keira Knightley in it and that can never be bad Chairboy.  Anyway, when I saw Doom was gonna be a movie I made up my mind not to see it because........The Rock was in it and he sucks.
