As far as big-budget, explosion filled, mindless action flicks based on video games go, this has got to be one of the best. The Rock always shines in films like this, and this was no exception. His character Sarge, along with his BFG, was one of the highlights of the movie for me. In fact, I thought all the actors were pretty good, considering what kind of movie this is. Th effects were phenominal, more proof that when used well, CGI looks amazing. I loved the combination of practical and computer effects, the monsters looked great. I was rather annoyed by the fight in the end, looked really stupid and out of place. The first-person scene, however, by all means deserves the praise that it has been getting, I really enjoyed it. Overall, I say check this one out if you're in the mood for a movie that you don't need to put much thought into.8.5/10

I really enjoyed this too, but the 1st person mode wasn't as great as i hoped, except the wheelchair creature part. I hated how they weren't demons, but just infected humans, and the part in the sewewr with the eyes, was very scary!

I actually thought the oposite about the 1st person scene. IMO, it went downhill at the Pinky-Demon part. I still thought that part was good, of course, but I enjoyed the rest of that sequence more. The fight with the Pinky-Demon just seemed to last way longer than it needed to, slashing it with a chainsaw only looks cool for so long.

I actually liked how they were just infected humans, gave it more of a zombie film quality.

It wasn't explained enough though, like, how were some people just zombies, but some the demons? also i don't think there was quite enough zombie action.

*Minor spoilers for Doom*

Agreed that there wast enough zombie action, but it does explain why they dont all turn into Demons. Remember when Goat "woke up" and killed himself? That was to show that they dont turn into Demons right away, it takes time. Just like any zombie movie, nobody turns immediatly and everyone takes a different amount of time. If the movie took place an hour or two later, there would have been a hell of alot more Demons roaming around.

Citizen Toxie
The Toxic Avenger IV

This movie started out great, very entertaining, and very funny. But unfortunatly throughout the film I just started to get really annoyed with it. Some of the concepts were really dull and it just didnt seem worth it to me.

Really Good Blood + Gore and Lotsa Boobies if your into that (Im not) (not in a horror anyway),

1.75/5

I did manage to get one movie in this weekend.
Ice Harvest----I liked this much more than i thought i would. It had a very Coen brothers feel to it, all set on Christmas eve.
