doom movie.. (here we go again)

Recommended Posts

A little while ago. Some dude showed up on this forum and told us that there will be a Doom-movie... There was some info about the movie in NextGen-magazine.... I never heard anything more about this. How about you people?

If you ask me, the movie will absolutely SUCK if it's based soley on the game! Just one guy blowin away monsters for over an hour is no basis for a movie! Now, if it's based on the novel, like it SHOULD be, then I will be happy! Before you get on you little flaming streak, let me tell you WHY I got the novels: I was just lookin for somethin to read, not hopin it would be based on the game entirely! Let's face it, if it were based only on the game, the book would be, oh about 50 pages! However, I will admit starting with number 3 it got overboard and started to suck. I'll give you guys that. But still, I liked the first one the best, the way he described the setting (if you payed attention) was EXACTLY like the design of the levels in the game! OK I'm goin off track here, so I'm gonna end this post. See ya.

The problem : the novels don´t suck because they´re not like the game, they just suck, simply as that.

While it´s hundreds of times better than DooM´s 4 lines of story, that´s not a really great accolade.

His "opinion" is based off true evidence of what makes good writing and what doesn't. The writing itself , by all standards, is horrible. I'll let him explain fully, but whatever he says, he's right.

you will find as you post here that the consensus opinion of the doom novels is not good...so if people tend to want to remind you of this, you needn't get all pissed and flame everyone...chill out. i personally hope there is never a doom movie. i gave the first novel a chance and when he started finded health spheres i gave up...some games just do not translate well into other forms of media, and remember, insesant flaming over dumb shit makes you look stupid

So we´re pathetic? Says the man who loves the DooM Novels...

*sigh*

Besides, before you waste more bytes of the forum with retarded content, NIGHTMARE´s right NOT because is him, but because he has clear evidence that those novels are complete and utterly crap. He once made a post about this, and men, those novels are really crap, I had already forgot how much they stink.
They would be prime material for SA and OMM reviews...

Thank you, that's the point I thought I was making clear above.

He has proven he has a good education and knowledge of what goes into good storytelling and what goes into bad storytelling. And literature or english teacher will tell you pretty much what he says.

if you think thats bad, i saw this one movie with this guy driving across the desert, he is being chased by the cops, he then comes to this house in the middle of no where and ther is this nude chick on a motorcycle. the guy gets something, then he drives some more, and some more, and some more after that. at the end, he crashes

Y'r right, they have to create a new storyline for the movie. It should be "based" off of doom (and not be a reflection of it).

Sorta how quake2 is y'know (they have more ppl), but with more "good guys" in it (more ppl to fight along side the main character, keep him company).

Well Zaldron. I am another person who did enjoy the Doom novels.. until after Hell on Earth that is. Then they just plain don;t make any damn sense. But if you would care to show me this so called "Nightmare"'s Ahem, 'Killer examples' of just how bad they really are, I would enjoy hearing your, and his point of view. Just to be clear though. I LOVED the first Novel, the second one was pretty damn good.. but the ones beyond that just blew. This is merely my opinion, though, adn I welcome yours. Providing you see this post!
