User Authorized, Codename: Cheesefest!!

First let me explain the title of my post. I bought Doom on dvd last week or so.

Second, I love cheesey movies, horror movies to be exact. There isn't really a horror movie on the market that has scared me since i was a kid. Most are predictable and full of crappy one liners and horrible acting. But the really good ones are the movies that know they are bad and don't take themselves to seriously. Like all the Friday the 13th movies, Nightmare on Elm St, and Sleep Away Camps. Full of cheese, Fine Cheese.

I don't know if Doom should be taken as a serious movie at all but given the fact that the Rock is one of (NOT the main character in the movie, that goes to Karl "Knight of Rohan" Urban) the people that im watching on the screen i don't think it was ment to be taken to seriously.

All that being said... This movie is flippin' sweet! It follows the path of the games perfectly. From the start of the Mars Mine down to how everyone in the games got their start (and name). One of the best parts and one put in the movie just for the game fans, is the 5 min one shot run of a firstperson view at the end of the movie. Just the fact that they did it all in one take is sweet that and the fact that it really looks just like the game. The acting is forgetable, no big stand out one liners (except one guy saying he had to take a crap). Overall the movie is great it you are like me and like a bad horror movie and don't mind the fact that it is based on a game. Its worth a rent to most any fan, but you probably only want to buy if your a hardcore fan.
