I am not even going to explain this movie's plot, since it is as thin as a piece of paper and its certainly not enough to keep someones attention throughout the film. Basically, if you are a fan of the original Halloween, you can forget about everything that made that movie a classic. The great theme-song by Carpenter is gone, and so is Michael Myers and Jamie Lee Curtis. I just can't figure out what the creators where thinking when they came up with this... Its like making a James Bond movie without James Bond. Or better yet; a Friday the 13th movie without Jason. It is doomed to fail and this movie rightfully did so because this is a stain on the horrorgenre and incorporates NO entertainment value at all.

What you get instead, is this weird plot about haunted Halloween-masks. It isn't exactly scary what so ever, and the stunningly bad acting doesn't help either. And if you thought it was already bad that the movie doesn't include the original Halloween-score, then you will be even more amazed by the fact that this has been replaced with the most terrible annoying pieces of music ever that plays on commercials throughout the film. It has been composed to give you a headache and if you completely watched this piece of junk it will make you wish you've never layed eyes on this awful movie. Trust me when I say that it goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on.

On top of that, the horror-element is also very shallow. So fans of gore and splatter can skip this movie right away. Season of the Witch (I'm not even going to call it Halloween 3) is also one of the most boring pieces of film-making I have ever witnessed. And just when you thought "maybe the creators saved the best for last" you will be confronted with one of the most shitty endings in movie-history, and all the hope you initially had for this garbage is crushed. Its like the creators just ran out of money and wrote the ending in 5 sentences or so. It pisses me off to no end and does not satisfy the viewers endurance for this film what so ever. It only makes you feel ripped off, and thats just what this is; a rip-off.

Don't even think about renting it for fun either, because its not. Its not one of those hilarious bad B-movies, this is just plain mediocre and boring. It includes no humour what so ever, it has one of the most uninspired dialogs ever, and more importantly it signed the deathmark of Halloween as a series. Stay away!

Turok is a name that should be known to most FPS-fans who played it on PC or on the N64 (or both). And despite that this game is mostly different then the others, your trusty knife and bow make a nice return. Using your knife this time is both awesome and a bit awkward because it kills dinosaurs and people in one well placed strike. That way it can sometimes feel a bit like cheating, but its still definitely my favorite weapon and every knife-sequence is very satisfying.

The game makes use of the Unreal 3 engine and does that quite good. The environment looks very detailed, although the game does avoid being too FarCry-ish and the game is mostly straight-forward. Apart from a few stealthy parts that you can do, most action in this game is Rambo-style. That means guns blazing (with 2 guns at once if its possible), and if you run out of bullets, you can still rely on your deadly knife or bow. And piercing a enemy against the wall with a arrow just never gets old.

The story isn't that solid, but the action this game has to offer compensates that. The AI of the enemy's in this game can vary. Sometimes people will spot you from great distance, while other times they seem to run around aimlessly. But the game does make the enemy challenging in numbers. The ability to lure dinosaurs to people is a nice find, and adds a little more depth to the gameplay even though other then that its a straight-forward shooting-game.

If you are a shooter-fan then you will probably enjoy this as much as I did. I think this game is a nice return and I hope the developers will make a sequel.

I returned this game back to the store a few days ago. And to give all of you a impression of how many times I'm so disappointed with a game that I return it to the store; the only other game I ever returned to the store was Lord of the Rings for the Super Nintendo in 1994. Anyway, I used to have this game for my XBox 360 and that is were I am basing this review on.

I really had high expectations of this game before it was released. I am a fan of survival horror-games and although The New Nightmare was also kind of a letdown, this game almost brings new meaning to the word 'frustration'. I actually am the last guy to ever complain about bugs, since I am not much of a nitpicker and I usually go along playing the game but Alone in the Dark 5 just makes playing almost impossible because it is constantly irritating the player with bugs and other technical game-flaws.

A example: as you progress in the game, you will have to climb outside a giant building you'r in. In the climbing-sequence that follows from there, I managed to actually climb on top of the building and outside the level. I even kept the game paused on that moment to show a few of my friends how the hell that is possible. Bugs like these are not small, and add to that that the controls really don't work and you've got yourself a downright annoying 'game'-experience. The driving-sequences also just seem to be there to show you the nice graphics. True; the graphics look impressive and are the only thing together with the very atmospheric and epic soundtrack that I actually enjoyed.

The game is also presented as a TV-show DVD (or something like that), and although it does set a nice vibe you can skip the game right to the end if you want, just like a DVD. I could go on forever about the bugs; there is also a first-person view available in this game, but it is really pointless since every time you perform a action the game automatically switches back to third-person view. This game also isn't scary what so ever. Resident Evil 4 was also very not-scary to the point that it feels more like a action-game then survival horror, and that is also how Alone in the Dark 5 feels sometimes; like a bad Resident Evil 4 ripoff. Alone in the Dark used to have a lonely, eerie, and desperate atmosphere but all that is scrapped and replaced with a Hollywood-type of directing, with the same annoying and tasteless characters who say the word 'fuck' all of the time just to look cool.

If the people behind this game didn't obviously rush this game up, it could have been a nice action/adventure game. But now it is just a irritating experience that you want to avoid at any cost. Hopefully the creators will realize this flop and go back to the drawing-table with Alone in the Dark because the series really deserves a better fate then this.

I just rented this movie, and I must say that I'm quite impressed. The movie takes a surprisingly realistic approach, and even though you can still feel that it is acted, the movie serves a nice survival experience. There is much CGI used in this movie, but fortunately it never gets to the point where you think you're watching video game-footage. The CGI is impressively good integrated in the film. The actors also do a nice job, although some scenes feel more acted then others.

Some might say that the basic idea of shooting a movie that is filmed by the actors (most of the time) is directly borrowed from The Blair Witch Project, but it doesn't share the same atmosphere. Unlike The Blair Witch Project, this movie offers much more on screen-action instead of hiding away all of the monsters (which I usually hate). The monsters are not spectacular realistic when on screen, but they could have been a lot worse.

Unlike a lot of people, I didn't have too many problems with the ending. I think the characters were about to die anyway sooner or later since the film-footage was supposedly the only thing found at the site. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the running time, which felt kind of short for my taste. But overall, if you want to see a movie that is finally different then the usual pile of typical cliché-filled Hollywood-movies then you should definitely watch this.

Painkiller is one of those games that are so horribly bad that you get that feeling as if it was developed by a few bored students to kill some spare time. And that scenario fits very well with this game...

This game is meant to be some kind of Quake-tribute or something like that, but it doesn't even come close to anything ID Software ever did. Cheap high-resolution graphics are meant to hide away the cheapness of this game, but fail as soon as you press the buttons on your keyboard. Let me state that this game has one of the worst controls I have ever witnessed for a shooter... Nothing seems to be corresponding properly to your actions.

Does anyone remember that also mediocre game Will Rock? This looks frighteningly the same, and if I didn't know better I would have thought this product was from the same developers (with the only difference being that Will Rock is still 10 times better then this junk).

This game is also as stable as a elephant standing on a golfball; I changed the resolution, the game crashed. Any time after that, the screen doesn't show up at all and you are forced to reinstall the entire damn game. And for all those who think of this to be a horror-game, think again. Yeah there is blood involved, but nothing you haven't seen before. I would say that even Half-Life 2 has more gore involved then Painkiller, which is quite pathetic for a self-proclaimed 'horrorshooter' like Painkiller.

I would not suggest buying this game, or even downloading it as it would still be a waste of harddrive-space. Save your money and effort and wait for something that is worth it instead of this fake import-crap.

I think it would appear to be really easy to just criticize a children-show like Dora, but after seeing this a couple of times I felt I should write a review about this.

First of all, the version over here is in Dutch so the second language being 'taught' here is English, not Spanish like it says on the IMDb-page. Second of all, when I wrote 'pointless' in the summary in this review I really meant pointless in every meaning of the word, because every time you (and maybe your children as well) watch this you never have a clue what the true goal of this show is. Yeah of course; children get to learn some small (in this case) English words every now and then but other then that its the same repetitive things over and over again.

The first thing that I noticed was the very poor production. Granted, as a children-show it should focus more on the educational part of the show instead of nice imagery, but the production looks plain rushed and uninspired.

To obtain attention from the next-generation children, the entire show is done in a semi-computerprogram based environment, complete with mousepointer. I think one of the worst aspects of the show is the illusion of children having a choice in the matters in the show. How is this helping children, by making them think a animated girl and her (pink...?) monkey can hear him/her through the television? I've always found that aspect of the show mindboggling. However, whats even more ridiculous is the fact that a subject like theft (in this case done by a fox wearing a mask) is portrayed as something you can just solve by telling the thief he shouldn't steal... Especially in this day in age thats just wrong.

Most of the time I don't bother reviewing children-shows like this but this show lacks in almost every way to be a good show and I think parents have the right to know how much a show is helping they'r children and not. At least a show like 'Blues Clues' (while also being quite mediocre) has some straight learning-subjects (calender-times, seasons, telling the time etc.). Even if Dora wasn't supposed to be educational, it would have been even worse as a normal entertainment-show since every episode is practically the same. The same 3 stages towards a goal, the same (dull) characters, and the same weird questions that are being asked towards the audience in order to 'help' the characters in the show. And while it is silly to ask for things like character-development in a show like this, it should at least have some entertainment-value I think. Now it is just pointless and uninspired TV-filling.

Keep away.

Before I start this review I have to admit that I have never really saw complete episodes of the original Doctor Who-show (although I did saw some clips and segments), mainly because it was basically before my time. I did read in a lot of comments that this was a kid-friendly show, but I must say I can't really agree with that when it comes to this new 2005-version of the show. Especially grittier episodes like "The Empty Child" is not something I would show a kid below the age of 12 or something (and not the only episode for that matter), and I'm not even talking about the sexual references in some scenes... But this is of course still a different show.

Anyway, I really love this show. They really created this show in the essence of traditional science-fiction; its silly, its humorous, but most important its just great sci-fi fun. But still, the actors do a really fine job (especially the Doctor(s)) and the emotion and tension is in some scenes just right. My favorite episodes are the two last episodes of season one "Bad Wolf" and "The Parting of the Ways". Those episodes really got me on the edge of my seat. It is those kind of episodes that create a serious suspense-vibe even though some of the special-FX still look 'silly'. The Daleks are my favorite aliens together with the BORG from Star Trek.

The only negative thing I can come up with is the fact that the episodes are usually a bit 'randomised', and I do hope that the creators do more following episodes like the two episodes I mentioned earlier for example. Other then that, its just a great show. Fans of 'serious'-scifi might laugh at first when they get to see this show, but its just a matter of time before you fall under the charm of this unique show. Trust me when I say that it gets better with almost every episode.

I honestly fail to understand why people love this show so much. A friend of mine watches this and since I like sci-fi, I tried to watch along since the plot of the show sounded promising, but in truth it really is a very boring show. The only thing that will keep you awake during this show are the video game-like CGI-effects and the complete overuse of muppets. Note that I call it muppets because they actually really look like muppets, not like the aliens they should be.

Speaking of which; the muppets and make-up effects are horribly overused in this show. You have this guy who could be best described as a alien/dwarf-hybrid, you have a pale girl who looks like a cheesy vamp-girl, you've got a floating potty-mouth frog-alien... It just feels very unnecessary and furthermore even to the point that you feel distracted from the whole storyline about a lost astronaut.

Every episode is also too much of a stand-alone. The creators of this show directed this in such a way that every episode almost feels like a whole other show. At least up until the point that you see the main-characters/muppets again, that is. The whole plot about the main-character getting back to earth is way to much pushed to the background at points. The acting is also quite bad.

Conclusion: if you want good sci-fi, just look somewhere else. This isn't even real sci-fi to begin with in my opinion, since the show is more aimed at fantasy-elements with all the puppetry and weird dreams going on. And if you just want to see muppets then I suggest you watch the Muppet Show and feel glad that this abomination of a show has come to a end.

By the way; doesn't anyone have dejavu's with the concept of a living spaceship? Ohyeah thats right; Doctor Who started that concept almost about 30 years ago! This show is like a collection of 'sci-fi' leftovers. Scripts and events that were abandoned for a good reason, only to be picked up by this horrible show.

Aeon Flux was/is one groundbreaking show that crushed every cliché inside and outside the genre. It is surrealistic, very abstract, and to tell the truth not something for everyone to enjoy. But if you are fan of innovative animation or Japanese anime then you will most likely love this as much as I do (if you can at least enjoy Peter Chung's style).

The short-episodes also made a huge impression on me. Without dialog the episodes still contained a very solid story (if you can manage to get it at least, which can even take more then one view), and a very sci-fi and abstract approach. Of course, if you don't want to dissect the storyline you could always enjoy the truly fine action-scenes Aeon Flux is full of! Some episodes can even get slightly 'trippy', but it never gets too much to the point that you feel you'r watching random scenes or something.

I really hope that Peter Chung makes a return with this show, since the name 'Aeon Flux' still needs to be cleansed because of that awful self-titled movie. Highly recommended for fans of avantgarde animation!

Although I must admit I'm not really a big Will Smith fan, he is actually the only actor in this film who really shows he can act (even though the cast is small). The story-idea of this movie is clever, up to date, and thrilling, but in my humble opinion it was brought in the wrong way. Maybe it was the director or the writer's fault... I don't know, but somehow halfway into the film it descends into predictable, and tasteless Christian morality that will leave you with a big 'meh'-feeling.

The first part of this movie is pretty fun I must admit, although its just basic things like Will Smith talking to his dog or mannequins just to have someone to talk to. It actually sets the right vibe and atmosphere and that is pretty crucial in a heavy story about the human population that has been mostly annihilated. 'I Am Legend' never gets particularly humorous, but thats alright. Another thing that I noticed was that the CGI seemed a little overdone in some scenes.

Also, what is up with those 'shocks'? It isn't exactly scary, but more annoying. Ever had a guy snuck up behind you and blow a horn in your ear really loud? It's like that and it's not scary, but pretty annoying, especially after multiple times. And trust me when I say that this film contains plenty of attempts to get you on the ceiling. I wish some directors looked for real attempts to scare they'r audience instead of those senseless 'boo!'-scenes. It gets boring quickly, and let me add that I wasn't 'shocked' at any time during my stay in the theater.

To sum it up, the basic thing that ruins this movie is its ending. While I already saw the ending coming from miles away, it still is very lame and cheesy. Better yet; I wouldn't be surprised if most film-freaks or regular movie-watchers can predict the ending halfway into this movie. The producers should have looked more at good zombie-movies I think, like 'Dawn of the Dead' or '28 Days Later'. Then perhaps it wouldn't have turned out into the mixed bag it is now.

Rob Zombie has been changing some things since his previous film House of 1000 Corpses. This film is even more aimed at 70's TV and especially 70's horrorflicks. So that basically means; the acting is horrible at times, the script is hilarious, but the atmosphere is utmost campy and plain genius! The film is shot with warm and dusty images and old-skool editing (i.e: screen sliding to the left between scenes). These kind of things really give the film a great atmosphere, and the soundtrack only makes that atmosphere complete. And I haven't even mentioned some of the hilarious quotes this film features. Especially the Firefly-family have some of the most crazy and funny (although most of the time sadistic) lines ever.

Don't expect any brainfood or anything, just good old horror-entertainment like it should be. There is still plenty of violence and gore to keep true horrorfans satisfied, although I thought it wasn't as gory as the first film House of 1000 Corpses. To me, this film is a tribute to old horrorfilms, but also a inspiration for modern horror-directors! Rob Zombie is definitely on the right track with his movies, and I can't wait to finally see his Halloween-movie. If he captures the atmosphere as good as in this movie, he can't possibly go wrong I think. The only small minor thing I can come up with in this movie has got to be sheriff John Wydell who gets a little bit annoying with this 'hand of god'-like attitude he seems to be developing throughout the film.

This is definitely a must-have for hardcore and oldskool horrorfans, but also for moviewatchers who want to try a different kind of (horror)movie for a change. The Devil's Rejects is not going to disappoint, and I really hope there is gonna be another part featuring the Firefly-family (be it in a prequel or sequel) because watching this movie tends you to like these guys as characters a lot.

I bought this game for XBox 360 for 10 Euro or so, and I was expecting a nice shooter without too much story and a lot of graphical violence. And well, frankly even with that expectation it disappointed me.

First of all I want to say that I like the original idea of wallwalking, etc. It cóuld have been very innovative if it wasn't for the developer turning this game into a semi-puzzel/platform game every once in a while. I said this a lot of times and I'm gonna say it again; platformgames and shooters dón't mix, period. I like a challenge, but for example I was trapped in one (big) level for a entire week before I found out that to progress in the game, I had to shoot a small electro-tube somewhere on the wall... What kind of game-logic is that?! So if you want to complete this game and you find yourself stuck, the best thing to do is thus basically shoot at everything and hope it triggers a door or anything... It is NOT the way I want to play a game! The most 'innovative' part of this game are the portals, and even though Valve's Portal-mod does a far much better job at this today then Prey, it is a cool effect (at least for sight). Is it necessary? No. Is it confusing? Very much. Most of the time when you enter a portal, you will flip upside-down , or sideways in a way that it will leave you desorientated for a brief few seconds and thus very vulnerable to enemy attacks even with the most 'elite' shooterskills.

The weapons are also not very great. Every gun looks like a cliché alien-gun, complete with bright lights and shiny texture. You have a sort of plasma-gun, a gun that you can load up with elemental stuff like fire, electricity, cold. You also get a gun that fires what could be described as a load of snot... Well, do I need to say more? Its as if the developers of this game weren't even trying. Oh, and you also get to play with the lamest, and I mean the LAMEST main-character in a shooting-game EVER. At the start of the game, the Indian-guy doesn't bother you much, but further in the game his whining about his girlfriend and his childish and furthermore simply dull one-liners ("Damn, its dark in here!" - as if I didn't notice that myself Sherlock!) will probably tick you off and will leave you with no feeling for the main-character at all.

And some more bugs: some 'puzzles' (read: annoying counterparts) require a lot of 'spiritpower' to turn on switches and so, but if this runs out, you will have no other choise then to kill yourself in order to get more 'spiritpower' (and no, there are no spirit power-ups in the levels apart from a few). And if you don't have any bug-grenades (how original...) or alien-rockets (sigh) you will just have to reload a old game and try again. Also, what is it with the graphics? I mean, the game on XBox 360 already looks like it could have run fine on the first XBox (and I'm not kidding there), but some images are just too dark. And I don't mean just dark, but pitch black... Even a shitty lighter that your character can activate can't change much about that.

So this pretty much sums up what it is; A failed experiment, hyped with the now very popular Doom 3-engine. If you want a innovative and exciting shooter, go play Half-Life 2 (again), or the new Portal-mod I mentioned earlier. Do yourself as a shooterfan a favor, ignore the hype and just leave this game for what it is.

Before you go see this movie, just realize this is nót the 'thriller with horror-tendencies' like part one was. This movie brings a lot more gore to the screen (flesh is being ripped, ribs are pulled out, arms and legs are twisted) and manages to beat part 2 in terms of sickness, and thus becomes the goriest film of all 3. Is that a bad thing? Not for me.

Saw III starts off slow (even though with already a few tortures), but as soon as you see Jigsaw and Amanda again for the first time, you know this movie isn't going to disappoint. This time, the tone is much more put on the tortures itself, rather then the actual murder. And thats one of the things that makes this movie interesting to watch, because it never leaves you bored.

My first guess was that part 3 of Saw was going to progress more into the typical cliché psychological horror-thriller thing with stuff you've seen already. But instead the creators aimed more for a more hardcore horror-audience, with obviously more violence and gore, and even a hint towards the horrorclassic Hellraiser. And gore and violence is not the only thing that this movie presents; it also unvolds a clever plot as the story develops towards the end of the movie (like only a movie like Saw can deliver).

Even so, it has to be said that you have to be a Saw-fan to fully enjoy this, or at least a fan of the genre. For those who aren't: leave out your lunch before watching this movie.

I was really looking forward to this game, and when it finally came out I immediately bought it for XBox because my PC probably couldn't handle it anyway. What I got was less then I expected.

The game is pretty straight-on. The original games had a lot of hallways and big rooms to roam in, but that all slimmed down and ID Software replaced it for the metallic futuristic, and kinda boring small corridors that the game now consists of. Also, the outdoor-levelparts in the game are a LOT more limited then in the original games (for the first time you have to pick up oxygen-bottles that runs out in half a minute or so).

The game does feature some good things though. For instance, the action is good when it takes place, and the characters that guide you through the 'story'-line aren't that bad either. The only problem with this game is that everything is just so damn limited... I.e.: Since the action mostly takes place in small corridors and rooms, you won't be able to fight hordes of enemy's at once, which irritated me a lót. And also, the enemy's in this game don't really vary much. Believe me when I say that you will be fighting imps most of the time, which gets a bit boring to say the least.

The intended scares in the game also didn't really work for me. I can see why someone with no horror-experience can get scared by this, but as a horror-fan you have to pull of something more then the few "boo!"-parts in this game. The game could have been a lót scarier if the developers focused a bit more on gore and demonic artwork. What happened to the blood-splattered walls and the gutted / skinned / decapitated people hanging on the ceiling from the original games? Its obvious that ID Software intended this game for a wide(r) audience...

The boss-fight also disappointed me. Why just one Cyberdemon? And why give the player a load of ammo when you can only kill the Cyberdemon with a few throws of the soulcube? Even the Hellknights were tougher then that! When you create a horrorshooter like Doom, I think its kinda obvious that you have to go out with a blast. Now the boss-fight is just silly, and its the only part of the game that features the Cyberdemon (which looks véry cool and impressive though).

The graphic-engine of Doom 3 manages to keep the game interesting and I gotta say that its probably the most steady game-engine I've ever seen (I haven't encountered any glitch in the entire game). The Hell-levels also looked very cool, but it contains no moving-space what so ever like the rest of the game, which ticked me off! If you are one of the rare people that hasn't played the original Doom-games yet, then you will probably love this in-your-face but limited joy-ride. But if you have been raised with Doom 1 and 2 like me, you will probably be disappointed with this.

I've seen this movie 2 times, both on TV. The first time I saw this movie, I changed the channel because I couldn't watch this longer then 20 minutes or so. And thats rare, considering I can probably watch the entire LOTR-trilogy without moving a muscle...

The murder-scenes and some of the dialogues (usually before the killing happens) are good though, but its sad that thats just about the only thing I can find entertaining about this movie, especially for a self-proclaimed "horror"-movie. So basically, if you like horror-movies, skip this movie, because the horror-elements are very rare in this flick.

Also, what is it that people find so funny about this movie...? The only thing that brought a minor smile to my face was the infamous naked chainsaw-chase, but thats it. Maybe its not my kind of humour while others are laughing out loud watching Bateman rant on about 80's pop-music...

Overall this is a nice directed movie, and unusually light and colourfull for a movie about a 'psycho'. But its a shame the writers didn't put any more inspiration and twists in this movie. Now its just a 2 hour snorefest with a few notable dialogues.

Maybe I'm one of those people who "just don't get it", but I expect a little more entertainment from a 2 hour movie.

Note for anyone into extreme metal: the Swedish black metal band Shining used one of the dialogues in they'r song "Claws Of Perdition" from the album "The Eerie Cold".

I'm not gonna explain the plot of this movie, because that would be a waste of space, trust me. Everything about this movie is wrong. Hollywood just scrambled some nice and famous actors, spent millions, and I mean MILLIONS of dollars on CGI, and 0,000 in story/plot line and/or logic. The logic in this movie is so bad, that I think only a 4-year old could see through these horrid flaws. I.e.: Hugh Jackman wears a ring throughout the movie, but when he transforms into a werewolf later-on, he doesn't wear it anymore. "Could've come of by the transformation into a werewolf" I hear you say, but here comes the funny part; When he talks to Dracula himself later on and changes back into his human form, Dracula makes a comment about the ring on Hugh's hand that supposedly belongs to him. Ermmm... What happened here?! Did he put the ring back on in a split-second or what?? Thats just bad movie-making! Also, if you want to make a movie about monster-movie classics, make sure you got your facts right. The monster of Frankenstein wasn't called Frankenstein, only the doctor was called like that.

I have to admit that at least the idea behind the whole 'monster-classic'-ode of the movie sounds cool, but when it comes to it, this movie can't even get clóse to those classics.

The CGI-effects are also so wááááy to much on the foreground, that it made me feel like I was watching somebody play a (bad) video game on his PC. The werewolves look like furries on steroids, and act like gorrila's. Isn't a werewolf suppose to act wolvish, or at least something like that anyway? Now they jump over buildings like a furry version of the incredible Hulk. The barks-sounds that they made also were not very convinsing (wolves don't bark). Same thing goes for the vampires: just as terrible.

All in all; just rent some monster-classics and keep on dreaming of what this movie cóuld have been. This is a 'modern'-view of monsters that should not be.

I was disappointed when I noticed that there was no 'Hell' in this movie, but somehow I think there will be another Doom-movie so I still have some hope on that. The monsters were not a lot, at least not like in the video game, but they looked and acted good, so I had no problem with that.

The Rock is casted great as Sarge. Probably his best role in a movie ever. The shooting isn't much, but when there is something going on, it looks respectable. Mainly I was just waiting for the action to break out, and it finally did. Especially at the ending, were all 'hell' breaks lose. The first-person sequense created a smile on my face, and later on in that sequense it had a really good fight which made this movie really innovative, and I do hope that other movies do a FPS-sequense as well.

The fighting-scene between The Rock and Karl Urban also looked awesome. The creators of this movie clearly pulled off every bit of action at the end of the movie.

Since it is a video game-conversion, I didn't expect much from it, but it turned out to be a real nice adrenaline-shot. But of all the action in this movie, the FPS-sequence clearly was the best eyecandy.
