Default Doom movie review

Well, I just got back from the Doom movie about an hour ago, and I must say it was about 70% what I expected from the game with about 30% deviation.

Some of the dialogue was cheap, but good for the most part.

Attempts of humor were pretty good.

The decision to use puppets instead of CGI monsters was a GREAT one.

The BFG was freakin awesome!

There were many "hidden references" that only people who have played through Doom3 would have understood.

The first person action near the end was unreal... I play a lot of first person shooters, but seeing this on the big screen almost gave me a little bit of motion sickness.

Final thoughts.... worth every penny of the 7 bucks I paid to see it!

I went to see it last night, i have to agree with Cable, the movie was what i expected, the dialogue was really really poor. The Rock was a good choice for the role, althought not the best actor ever.
My review: B (7.5/10)
Off topic: movie ticket prices are expensise, i paid $8.25 for my ticket and about 35 bucks total (incluiding food, and other stuffs)

Movies prices are out of control... I paid $14 for two tickets (I took my wife along) and $3.75 for large Coke. Crazy to do that I know, but until I can afford a screen like that at home, I probably will continue to pay it.

Electricjoe, hae you seen the prices of the stuufs they sell lately?
I took my date to the movie: 8.25 * 2= 16.50
popcorn + drinks = 7.25 * 2 = 15
a box of chocolates =4.99
Total= 36.49 + tax
Its a rip off

Now i understand why the companies that produces the movies complains about people not going to see them, ITS BECUASE THEY RIP YOU OFF, but i recomend everybody to go see it (bring somebody with you, if you dont like the movie...hey at least its dark)
