Doom(2005)

"RRTS Special Ops clearance verified. Handle ID: raper."

Oh for christ sake. Why is there a demand of movies like this? Ranked among other Rock favorites like The Scorpion King and The Mummy Returns, this is another peculiar movie designed to entertain the bottom feeders of society. The story was off-base and didn't even adhere to the Doom paradigm since he wasn't fighting portal monsters, and the acting was completely amateur. Watch Doom and you can expect no satisfaction, no closure, no nostalgia. Just a fuckfest on Mars with space marines wielding talking guns and The Rock intermittently spewing out bastardized lines like, "Use extreme prejudice??". He actually used that line in the form of a question. Fuck.

It cuts off to in-game screenplay of the Doom3 FPS near the end, showing how to effectively use the chainsaw while strafing.

There is so much that is wrong with this movie, whether from the Doom fan perspective, or the sci-fi dogma, even in the character dev of The Rock. To begin with, you're not supposed to be able to dodge the BFG shot. Then theres the whole first person view section of the movie. I got a good laugh outta that. File this piece of shit movie in the ironic comedy section.
