This movie, Doom, is based off a the video game of the same name. Most of it's story is taken from Doom 3. Now, I didn't like Doom 3 because it was a boring, repetitive, and mediocre piece of rotten Caesar salad with ranch dressing and a dash of parmesan cheese. It was mediocre. Now, this movie, is basically based off of Doom 3, and let me tell you, bruh, it's probably the most bad-ass video game adaptation I've ever seen. You have everything you need in an action/horror movie: Blood there's lot's of it , gore lot's of it , guns lot's of em' , disgusting <more> monsters lot's of em' , explosions, fight scenes, and a really Big F****** Gun that'll make you mess yourself if you got shot by it.The movie is about a group of soldiers who are taken to this weird facility because something's gone terribly wrong. When they get there, they find everyone there, but they're all crazy monsters. So, what are soldiers to do in this situation? That's right. Shoot and blow s*** up as much as you can
and that's what they do in this movie.Now, The Rock isn't really a main character, but he might as well be since he's the most noticeable. He plays Sarge, the leader of the group of soldiers, and as the movie goes along, he starts to get crazy and psychotic, which is a huge surprise since it's The Rock. Luckily, he's armed with the BFG Big F****** Gun , but sadly, he only shoots it about five times. Instead, he shoot have shot it about a thousand. What did disappoint me is that he barely shot any monsters with it. Instead, all the monsters are killed by these machine guns, and that's cool, but seriously, there needed to be more weapon variety. I wanna see monsters getting killed by a whole plethora of different weapons.One thing they changed from the game is this: The monsters aren't from Hell like in the game, instead, they're caused by this virus thing, which is cool, because they still get shot up, but having the monsters come from hell would have a bit cooler. But it's forgiven.The movie follows the game's main storyline pretty well, and, get this, it even has a bad-ass first-person perspective scene, where the main character, John Grimm, grabs a gun, and shoots every damn thing in sight, all in first person perspective, just like in the game. I thought that the first person thing would be throughout the movie, but it's only in the end, and when it happens, you feel like you're watching the first game just with really good graphics. Believe it, b****es, believe it.In one scene, one of the soldiers is going head to head with one of the huge monsters in a holding cell that has electrified walls. He has no guns, so get this, he kicks the s*** out of the monster with his bare hands and a computer monitor with a thick wire sticking out the back. He swings this monitor by the wire and slams it against that damn monster. Of course, it doesn't hurt it, but this fight is so ridiculously bad-ass you'll wonder if you just died in the theater and are just watching a movie in heaven. I don't wanna spoil the end of this fight, it's so kick-ass I'd be DOOMED if I spoiled it...you get it?One last thing: There's even a damn chainsaw in the movie. A CHAINSAW! That's all I have to say about that.The only few beefs I had with this movie were this: Not enough action. Even though there's a lot, they could have cut down on the talking and amped up the action. Second, even though I complain about this in every single movie, this movie seriously needed some Gwar tunes. Honestly, when you're shooting the s*** out of ugly demon monsters, the only tunes that come to mind are, you guessed it, Gwar tunes. This movie seriously needed some. If it did, I swear to almighty God, I would have s*** my pants right there in the theater. Score: 9 ½ out of 10. <less> |
