Wolfenstein was made by the same company as Doom, ID, so I wouldn't exactly say they got the idea from it. And I'm pretty sure W3D wasnt the first first-person shooter, just the first famous one.

Oh, and the movie looks like garbage.

I know they were made by the same company, but W3D before DOOM after all, so the idea evolved. ;)

And I agree. Worst movie trailer since Mortal Kombat, despite, at the time, the music and hype being BIG around MK, and worst expectations since Street Fighter the movie. Looking back, what a go sa movie THAT was, and we waited half the time! XD

Oh man, I watched that movie like everday when I was 10 when it came out on video, I don't even know why, it really really sucked.

/they should make an animated mario brothers movie, with a fraction of the suck

I wouldn't call a $70 million dollar production budget low. Between that and the heavy promotion it is getting, Universal will probably spend twice as much money on Doom as they did on Serenity.

I could be wrong, but from the trailers, I can't figure out where the money went unless The Rock got paid $40 million of it.

Doom looks almost Catwoman bad. I mean... horrid, and I wouldn't go see it if I was getting paid. Well, maybe... depends on how much I was getting paid.

BUT, judging from the trailers, I do have to give them credit for making seem like a video game.

There's the obvious first-person perspective (which looks baaad, but it's fairly original). But there's also the way the guns talk (Reload... Search and Destroy...). I think my favorite is the "Handle ID" part... like everyone choosing a name before logging into the server.

Now, if they got rid of the demons and just had the marines running around shooting each other (then, of course, respawning to do it some more) I might be more inclined to see it. But only for the 30-minute capture-the-flag segment.

Yah, they hype this, but did not hype Serenity, and then had the nerve to bitch about box office numbers not being good enough ?

It smacks of being Serenity being f*x'ed by Universal, it really does.

PS - If one can use 'companion' as a verb, I supposed one can use f*x'ed as a verb too, since it seems quite appropriate for this.
