I went to this movie not expecting much, I expected the rock to be corny, but he wasn't. I ended loving the movie except one small part but that didn't ruin it all for me. The story line was changed from the origional doom but that I went to this movie not expecting much, I expected the rock to be corny, but he wasn't. I ended loving the movie except one small part but that didn't ruin it all for me. The story line was changed from the origional doom but that was ok if they make a sequal it may include hell. I hope they do make a sequal because for a movie based off a game this was pretty damn good. This movie is for people who loved the game and just want to see the BFG in action and some imps get wasted, and if you love science fiction you should like this movie as well. Don't go to this movie expecting it to be the greatest thing since sliced bread because lets face it, it is Doom after all what can really be added all the game was is you agains an uncountable amout of monsters. I think they did a good job they get an 8/10 from me.… Expand

My 5-rating comes from the homage they played to DOOM the game. The 4 or 5-minute segment was really cool and very much like the game.

Not enough killings, not enough monsters, not scary at all. The writers should have fast forwarded the timeline about 2 months, then there would have been more monsters to kill. If there's a sequel, there better be more first-payer views and more carnage.… Expand

This was worse than "Alone In The Dark"! A plot a 12 year old could come up with, really fake looking weapons, and stupid looking creatures. The Rock was fine but it's not enough. Just a waste of time.

I had high hopes for this movie. It turned out not to be what I expected, or hoped. Doom was not the first video game based movie, and is certainly won't be the last.

Good, mindless fun. If you haven't played Doom then you might be going "Whaaaa?", but just sit back and go with it. This is comic book stuff.

Unimpressive action scenes, and insufficient use of the BFG made this only remotely related to the video game. also unlike the games, this movie has no ending: it just stops as if they ran out of quarters. the fight scenes couldn't have Unimpressive action scenes, and insufficient use of the BFG made this only remotely related to the video game. also unlike the games, this movie has no ending: it just stops as if they ran out of quarters. the fight scenes couldn't have been more campy if the wires were visible, and the first-person shooter scenes didn't seem to be from the same story as the creatures behaviors changed dramatically when in and out of shooter mode. I would predict that this movie will go direct to the SciFi channel in 2 weeks, except that would be an insult to the snake movies currently showing on SciFi for the 10th time this year.… Expand

Wow! This movie was Excellent. Considering what they had to go on, it was perfect. It was no LOTR or American Beauty, but hey! It was based on a computer game! What did you expect?

Play "Doom 3" instead and leave this movie alone. This movie is loosely based (I mean it) on the videogame of the same name.

A recent NY Times review called this movie "really just a formulaic shoot'em-up, with dead bodies amassing on the floor of an underground Martian laboratory".

For those looking for a A recent NY Times review called this movie "really just a formulaic shoot'em-up, with dead bodies amassing on the floor of an underground Martian laboratory". Wasn't that most of what the game itself was? For those looking for a best picture nominee, don't waste your time with this movie; however that was clearly not its intention. This movie was made as a tribute to the grandaddy of one of the most popular game genres of all time, first person shooters, and Doom the game has been copied and mimicked in games more than Star Wars has in movies. So for those critics that watched this movie expecting an Oscar-worthy performance from the rock, try first looking at the source of this movie, the game itself, which was exactly what every FPS fan loved, and exactly what you'll find in this movie, nothing but a shoot 'em up. By the way I personally think Karl Urban did a great job in this movie, and my personal complaint would be that he should have taken more of a larger role in the script of the movie. If you are looking for a real heartwarming movie, this is a tribute to a gory video game; if you are looking for a recreation of a video game, this is limited by the fact that it is just a movie. With the understanding of the difficulties the director had in this balancing act, I was still very much entertained and would recommend it to any FPS fan.… Expand

The beginning was pretty slow, but it soon became interesting later in the movie when they went to search for the scientists. The action sequences were all superb and random jokes keep the movie going. Also.... BFG owns.

I went into this movie expecting it to be bad, but I'm a big doom fan so it didn't matter. I gave this movie a 5 because the first half was the best part. I would not recommend this movie to true doom fans. The reason for this is I went into this movie expecting it to be bad, but I'm a big doom fan so it didn't matter. I gave this movie a 5 because the first half was the best part. I would not recommend this movie to true doom fans. The reason for this is because the creators came up with there own story instead of following dooms which kind of pissed me off. Weren't the demons supposed to have come from a portal leading to hell? That was the biggest problem I had. If they make a sequal (which I hope they don't) I'm definitely not wasting my money on it.… Expand

Not as bad as the critics make it out to be. In the mould of AVP; interesting twist at the end, turned out to be the opposite of what I expected.

This film was fantastic. I was able to see a prescreening. This is much better than tomb raider, without the hot chick.
