  The current theory for Doom 2005 is that they banked on widely distributing this movie in China, and there, the laws have certain limitations on showing ghosts/demons/etc in films, so that's why they went with virus monsters instead of hell monsters.

  The movies that answered the question; &quot;How do you fuck up Doom?&quot;<br><br>Evil Dead/Army of Darkness should be the template right? But metal!

  “Let’s make a [insert video game title] movie, but adapt zero of the source material. Only names and references matter!”

  I remember watching Doom 2005 in theaters when I was 12 years old. My dad took me, same man who introduced me to the games when I was like 4 years old. I thought the movie was cool cause I was too young to understand how bad it was, it was just neat to see one of my favorite video games on the big screen, but even then I remembered thinking it was weird that it didn&apos;t at all follow the plot of the games and that they never went to hell or anything like that. Nowadays for some reason the only thing I really remember about the movie is that one monkey for some reason

  We almost had the Baron of Hell since the plan was for The Rock to turn into him, but I believe they found it too expensive and it’s why they couldn’t do it and they changed it to the version we got. It’s a shame because the Baron would’ve been cool to see

  Dude, the doom slayer is hands down the greatest super hero that has ever existed, how they messed up these movies up is absurd to me. It was right fucking there! I’m fully convinced that the slayer could have been the next terminator.

  How hard is it to just make an adaptation of the first game? Like you obviously need more characterization in some form, but the overall plot of Doom Guy on Phobos, evil corpos open a portal to Hell, he kills demons, goes to Hell, closes portal, but it&apos;s too late and the demons have invaded Earth. There is enough there to make a pretty decent action-horror movie, but neither of these filmmakers seemed to grasp that.

  I didn&apos;t even realize that there was a second &quot;Doom&quot; film. <br><br>I probably was better off living without that knowledge.
