I realize this may be quite a ways down the line, but when are you guys going to get to Heretic? I've got fond memories of playing and re-playing the original shareware more than can possibly have been healthy.

The actors themselves are great - I mean, you've got Karl Urban, who's always solid, up against Dwayne Johnson, the most charismatic guy you could ever have a mancrush on. It's just that, FPS section aside, it never gets as gleefully dumb as it could. You know, the kind of thing that made Turbo Kid or Far Cry: Blood Dragon as enjoyable as they were, just acknowledging the premise is silly and having fun with it. It's all treated very po-faced, and it suffers for it.

Y-Hat posted:No, I'm saying that they don't and that's the problem. Too much dumb poo poo gets played mostly or completely serious. I'd wager a big reason why Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool made so much money is because they didn't stick to that formula. That's a good way of putting it actually: look at GotG and compare it to Man of Steel and Batman Vs. Superman - DC's stuff is trying to tell a Serious Story About Serious Loss and it's all so earnest you roll your eyes so hard, you can see your brainstem. Meanwhile, Marvel's like 'so here's a bipedal raccoon with a laser machine gun and his BFF is a tree who can only say one thing: how can we make them the most popular thing in the movie?' and you just go with it because - and this is important - it's fun. Anyone can make a stupid movie, but it's hard to make a stupid movie you laugh with, rather than laugh at.

Doom was a mediocre movie which had its last fifteen minutes transplanted from a fantastic movie. And sitting through it all is worth it for that last bit.

Y-Hat posted:Didn't it have Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in it? How can a movie with him in it be dull? Even that terrible movie he did with Kevin Hart recently had good parts because he was in it. It does yes but the problem is that it's a dark and dull mess of a film that tries to play itself off as a horror movie and where nothing really happens for far too long. It's far too inspired by the visuals of Doom 3 than anything else. After a while you're just sitting there sighing because it's yet another scene of them walking through dark corridors while trying to look tense and suspenseful. To which it falls flat on its face for. At least the black guys were like the third or fourth ones to die instead of first.

A good Doom film would be entirely first person with a selfie camera feed at the bottom of the screen. It would also feature cacodemons.

Your talk about ammo shortage struck me, because I was trying to play through episode two and had that exact problem in E2M4 (Deimos Lab). I was trying to get monsters to fight each other as much as possible, I killed at least two cacodemons with crushers, I went back and scoured the level after I got the computer area map, and I still ended up running out of ammo and dying.nielsm posted:I printed out the documentation for Duke Nukem 3D sector tags, sector effectors etc. for mapmaking, and put it in binders. That got plenty of use! Actually I may even still have it... or maybe I finally trashed it a few years ago.

What I'd like to see from a Doom movie: Portal to Hell opens, demons pour out, main cast of stereotypes trapped on research station, yadda yadda yadda. Standard horror movie poo poo. Then about 45 mins/an hour into the movie, the Doomguy walks in through the open portal.

It's a mixed bag. The final set of levels seems to focus on frustration for frustration's sake a bit.

They need to keep the gently caress out of his way and there will be collateral damage to some of them.

Yeah but I don't know if Karl Urban wants to be typecast as "action hero who gets zero face-time in all their movies" Besides, Karl Urban was in the last one, wouldn't this have to be a reboot rather than a sequel? I'm probably just overthinking all of this I say you get Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson. He can also play a silent, faceless murderer, and he's The loving Mountain, man.

I mean the movie pretty much ended with the implication that he's special now so clearly he's been possessed by the spirit of Doomguy.

I'm kinda glad I started Doom movie chat, but at the same time I really enjoyed the movie for the dump romp that it is. It's like my opinion for Doom 3 as well, I understand where people come from but I don't care because I liked it a lot.
