I for one i was soooo dissapointed with Doom!And like someone already said it is hard to take "the Rock" seriously.But Even if he was the best actor in the world it wouldn't of helped the movie!The only thing that I liked about the whole movie was that they made it so much like the game,and they didn't do a crappy job with the make-up on any of the creatures except for,dum dum dum The Rock.But the worst part was the fight scene!Are you kidding me!Doom was a great game for it's time,but where were they trying to go with the movie?Because I sure don't think they got there.Ohmygod!You had to get me started on this movie didn't you!

All new Hollywood movies suck, incuding KING KONG.I dont really care about Peter Jackson either, everyone is saying hes such a great director but the only movies that he made that were good were LOTR. He just likes to make 3 hour movies with amazing affects, go see the movie Dead Alive(1992) he directed that and it was the worst movie i have ever seen.

Yes.  My wife and I previewed it to see if we would be able to take our 4yr olds.  We laughed a Lot ... especially at the sloth.  We enjoyed the movie, but ultimately decided that there was a little too much violence for our toddlers.

Sounds harsh. Try looking at the guides at http://www.doom9.org if you're trying to convert to a dvd video.

It did not suck you just have bad taste in movies.  I thought the remake was better than the orginal.  In the original, for some reason a helicopter can refuel on regulae unleaded gasoline.  Last I checked helicopters ran on jet fuel.  Plus the acting in the remake is so much better as are the gore and pyro effects

It definately didn't follow the comic, but I thought that it was a good adaptation. It was more not even based off of the comic than anything. They basically just Americanized it. I don't think its a bad movie, but people should look at it as a movie, not as a comic-movie.

I wasn't freaked by the first love scene in "Brokeback Mountain." I was in fact, disappointed in that it was so short, rather brutish and lacking in tenderness. The film makers (director and actors) had a real opportunity to do something great with this scene but I think they "chickened out." I'm not talking about soft porn and shock value but rather artistic depth and emotional expression. It should have been a lot better considering the talent available.

Just saw this at the World 3-D Film Expo and wasn't overly taken with this re-imagining of the original. If it weren't for the use of the 3-D and CGI this would be headed straight to the bargain DVD section of your local Walmart.\n\nI really wanted to like this movie more than I did. It had lots going for it. A sold-out premier in high definition 3-D using the polarized glasses instead of the inferior red/blue glasses. They used special cameras as well as stedicam in shooting the entire movie. So, it looked as good as it was going to get.\n\nBut...geeking out is just not enough to carry an entire movie...\n\nThe script was clunky with some odd use of dated language mixed with present day dialog. A couple mis-castings didn't help matters much either.\n\nAnd, it just wasn't creepy or scary...at all...

Absolutely horrendous.  I thought the mini-series was pretty bad (considering how low budget it was); but it was light-years better than that Disney crap.\n\nShudder.  To think I actually looked forward to the movie.

It was directed by Quentin Tarantino, and like just about everything else he's done, was full of blood and gore just for the sake of shock value.  It didn't have much point to it, and was more disgusting than horrific.  If you haven't already seen it, don't waste your money.\n\nMy mistake, QT was just the executive producer.  That doesn't make it any less banal.  It had his style all over it.  That makes me wonder why Eli Roth would want to be such a copycat.

Theater, bro! The first one was disappointing; completely strayed from the comic books, characters were all wrong (Rogue, Storm and Wolverine as the "original" X-Men?!?! . . . Freakin' Hollywood!)But after recovering from those blunders, the second movie was a huge improvement. The end got me psyched. The dark phoenix saga was one of the best story lines ever! I'm sure Hollywood will screw it up somehow but . .  . we'll see. Definitely worth paying for theater tickets (it ain't cheap in NYC)

I enjoyed it, however I feel a lot of it's success came from good timing. While the movie had innovative fight sequences, I felt the story was a bit lacking and I know it probably confused some people.  The fight sequences gave it a word of mouth at a time when the movie industry was looking for "something different." When they saw how well the movie did, it got the sequels greenlit fairly easily with money potential and not necessarily story potential.  The second and third one seemed jumbled in the story, making too much out of too little and relying on it's "innovative" style that had now been copied by many rip-offs and spoofs.  Style over substance killled the sequals to an origional that wasnt all that it probably could have been anyways.  I think without the fight sequences this would have flopped, kind of like how a year earlier 'Dark City' flopped despite a great story and innovtive technology.  'Dark City' didnt have the 'It' factor, and the Matrix did which led to it's successs and eventual bad sequals that were hurried along to make money by capitilizing on it's no longer origional style.

Probably not. I actually enjoyed the first one. The comic Hellblazer (which the movie is based off) is better. But there probably won't be because it didn't do to well in the Box Office.

Well, aside from an intersting plot and creative characters, the original film was a huge hit in theaters because of the special effects. People of my generation (the one right after the big Star Wars fans) watch movies like that and think, "Wow, what lame special effects!" though at the time, it was awe-inspiring. The worst special effect (I think) I have ever seen was in Creature from the Black Lagoon, when a bat flew out of the cave, and the wire it was on was clearly visible.

I usually use the Rotten Tomatoes website to gauge how good a movie is before I see it. Considering that it has gotten "75%", I saw it.\n\nOverall the GC is very cool and you believe you are in another world. But I just did not really care too much for the characters... Like how did that teenage kid become a great warrior, but never has used a sword before?

It's a decent enough movie (which is in theatres, despite what some people are claiming).\n\nIt can be slow and plodding, but so was the first movie.  It is about character development, but it has its share of action.\n\nThe actor who played Superman did better than I expected.  Kevin Spacey is, of course, divine.  \n\nAnd once again, I have to ask why a supposed genius like Lex Luthor could make such pathetic mistakes.

I read Secret Wars as it came out, and found it quite enjoyable.  I was, after all, a kid, and the notion of all those heroes and villains together in one series was very exciting.  Spider-Man getting a new costume?  Awesome!\n\nI read it again last year, and needless to see, it didn't hold up well at all.  Hokey dialogue, terrible art in places, and a contrived plot that had more holes in it than one of my moth-eaten shirts up in attic.  That said, there were still some entertaining parts, not the least of which being Doom's contstant comedic foil, Klaw.  His incoherent babblings caused Doom to utter perhaps the greatest line of the series:  "So. I've created a madman. SIGH."
