Still, as a fan of the games (played more hours than I care to admit on Doom 3 alone) I was curious to check it out. As such, nobody was really begging for a sequel or reboot, so when this was announced to come out a month or so before the release of Doom Eternal, even though the Doom franchise is INCREDIBLY popular (one of the games inducted into the Video Game Hall of Fame back in 2015). Sure, we got the Ark and space marines and the BFG, but everything else butchered the Doom lore (not that there was much to butcher, the games were about as paper thin on plot as you could get) and made it as generic as possible, although I did kinda like the first person shooter mode at the end. In fact, it really wasn’t a Doom movie at all, but rather a generic space monster movie with a few monsters that looked like they came out of Doom 3 from a few years earlier (which is where they kind of took their visual inspiration from). It was in NO WAY a good movie, and an even worse Doom movie as well. Coming from a rabid Doom video game fan since he was a young kid, I actually liked 2005’s Doom with The Rock and Karl Urban in a guilty sort of way. Doom has not gotten a lot of love on the big screen.
