Even if it sucks beyond all imagination (Haven't seen it yet personally) one good thing has come from it... they re-released the original four doom books with brand new cover arts 
It wasn't great by any means, but it was a good action flick. Better than the last movie The Rock was in (walking tall).

Oh really? I actually thought the Doom books were terrible with all the gaming lingo and Mormon nonsense but they were still excellent compared to the movie. I have them sitting on my shelf back here.

Basically you've seen everything in the trailers. Just remember to buy lots of popcorn and remember it's not a Doom movie and you should be fine.

Some people are like Slinkys... Not really good for anything, But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Led had this to say about Cuba:
I thought it was entertaining, the big star being something aside from the main character was a pretty neat change
The main character was the Sexiest man in Australia a few years ago.
He was also in Lord of the Rings as Eomer.
To be honest, I would have enjoyed the movie more if it had followed something like the books tho... 'OMG RESEARCH ZOMBIES!#%' is a resident evil thing 
It's not something people hear about.

There are no monster closets in the movie though! 
There is, however, a monster bathroom

I was referring to Doom 3, and they DO look similar. They look like different model years of the same car.

These demons aren't even necessarily of a different phylum. Being white and pasty and fat is a trend in Doom 3 (and on this forum) and while it may be artistic bunk it at least makes some sense, considering they all come from the same place. The only ones that look "exactly" alike are the imp and the hellknight anyway, ho ho.

The movie contained oh so little Doom... for a brief moment it had it, near the end where the zombies (Took the zombies long enough to show) are swarming down the hallway and overwhelming them... that was Doom, for a brief moment I was watching Doom on the big screen. Then it was gone, replaced with crap generic sci-fi about the genome for evil and wire-fu matrix fighting.
The entire time I was watching it I couldn't help but wonder... why, why did they have the books... the games... it all right there, could assemble the damn movie practically like Lego. Instead they just threw that all out the window and just made some stuff up.
And what the hell was up with the FPS segment at the end being more comedy than anything else? It could have worked out really well... like the credits, the damn credits pulled the effect off better for some strange reason... instead we get random clips of mostly comical things happening. Was more confusing than anything 
It could have been so awesome but in the end was just really, really forgettable.

I think the first person segment worked well as comedy, because it's the time where the hillbillies say "Wow it's just like the video games fellas!" and the fans of the game say "Haha, fucking sweet." It was easily the best sequence in the movie. I loved when the Hellknight exploded. Too bad it ended with the ridiculous handicapped "Pinky."
