This message comes from one of the most die-hard DOOM fans around the globe. But i must contest my recent dissatisfaction and partial hurt from the new DOOM movie. Every time i hear someone say, "It's so true to the videogame!" i feel like asking them, "did you even play the goddamn videogame??" We all know that sure, they put in the IMP, they put in the zombies, hell they even put A Hellknight. but wasn't there something missing?. . . oh yeah, HELL.

hmmm. i didn't see a portal leading to Hell anywhere in the movie, and i was looking. That's what DOOM is all about baby, Hell spawning DEMONS!! and lots of 'em! oh, was there a budget crunch in the making of this film?? Or did the makers of DOOM the movie feel that it would be benificial to leave out all but THREE Imps, and ONE Hellknight!? Jesus, What happened to the MONSTERS?? DOOM had like 50 monsters since it's release so many years ago. How could you make a DOOM movie and put FOUR freakin monsters in there?? just to name a few who got the axe for the film. Mr. Chacodemon, Mr. Revenant, Mrs. Spider Demon, Mr.Cyberdemon, Gaurdian, Mancubus, freaky fly-baby, buffed-out demon soldiers, the list goes on. . . they did put Mr. pinky demon in the very end so i apologize for not mentioning that earlier.

So we have basically 10% of the monsters from the game, now moving on to hardware. Where the hell were all the guns? hmm. i saw a few. . . they actually managed to shot 'em a couple of times. but even the end of the movie with the mad zombie bumrush was not enough to save DOOM from the lack of firefights. i blame that on the lack of monsters.

I think Doom could have been made into a 2 hours extravaganza just fine but they seriously missed it this time. As a DOOM fan i wanted to see the BFG, and they delivered. i wanted to see the Hellknight kicking ass. and they delivered. . . sort of. But as Doom fan what i really didn't want to see was 'The Rock' and our 'Hero Dude' battling it out WWF style in some room!! DUUUUUUUUUUUDE! think about it!! TWO DUDES FIGHTING IT OUT IN DOOM?? alright, change the movie as much as you want. . .but GIVE ME THE GODDAMN CYBERDEMON IN THE END OF THE MOVIE!!! to say the least i didn't give a damn who got their butt kicked in the end of this movie. and the Rock being "infected" didn't make him a monster.

So those are the main things that really made DOOM the movie a downer in my book, lack of monster, guns, and mayhem. and Hell. and Bosses. but when all is said and done they got my 10 bucks, and i left feeling alright about the movie for the first 24 hours at least. i could name a few good things about the movie though, decent acting, colorful characters, patially true to the game, cool set design, cute girl, scary at times, that's about it.

Please contest this rant from a die-Hard Doomer and tell me how wrong i am about the whole thing. . i dare you. Until then, i'll be resting within the confines of the REAL Doom tearing shite up and making a mess of myself in utter horror. So peace everyone, Keep Doom in Hell, and leave the bio-chemical-genome whatever for Resident Evil.
