toms Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 First pic of the Rock from the new Doom movie adaption. Doesn't really show much but here you go... http://comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=8663 (i don't think i can post the image direct as they have some sort of referrer logging system). Looks to me like a scene from the start of Escape from New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 Actually, the Res Evil comparison may be quite acurate... A squad of black suited special forces in a high tech setting with genetic experiments gone wrong.... it basically IS the plot of the resident evil movie. ---------- I have nothing against the Rock, in fact i think he may well be the best thing in this movie... not that that is saying much...

El Sitherino Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 The Rock is the new muscle bound action star. He's not a superb actor, but he fits the parts he's cast to play (muscular badasses). It's like the Arnie movies in the 80's and early 90's, Arnold isn't such a great actor but he was cast in quite a lot of movies. Anyway, I think it'll be alright. But still without the demons it won't be as good. But I think I can understand why they left out the demons, same reason why people complained about the DOOM games. I'll let you all try to remember that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_hill987 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Originally posted by InsaneSith "Only God and Jesus can send the demons back to hell" Really, I would have thought a shotgun would do the trick! Well, i suppose that could be why they took out the demon refs, but there have been many films that left them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 i have no idea WHY they took out the demons. The idea of hell crossing over into earth (well mars) and the progressively more hellish environments (living skin on walls) was one of the few "unique" things about doom. But hey, why hang on to that... But there have been many, many films with demons/hell in (constantine, hellboy, event horizon, almost any horror film, etc..) so i can't see that leaving demons out would have anything to do with christian groups getting upset. Come to think of it, you didn't have christian groups picketing any films with demons in, only games... typical bias... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 True, but those were tending to deal more with supernatural being casting spirits back into hell or what not. Doom you're a human soldier kicking demonic ass with a shotgun. I guess they tend to let the supernatural beings slide. *shrugs* Who knows.

El Sitherino Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I'm surprised you're all just now reacting about the Rock. He's was the first person ever mentioned to be slated in this movie. Infact before we even learned about the story of the movie, we learned the Rock was going to be in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 The Rock overacts too much. If he doesn't pull it off right, this movie can be one huge epitome of how game-to-movies suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I dont like using the words 'muscular badass' ...too homo-erotic for me, but the rock was pretty funny in "Be Cool" ...Loved that afro mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
