[A] dark, violent, nerve-wracking, trigger-giddy waste of time.

Yes, Doom is a bad movie but you already knew that.

The performances are awful, the action sequences are impossible to follow, the violence is gratuitous, the lighting is bad and I have my doubts that catering truck was even up to snuff on this project.

This movie proves that the best place to enjoy a video game is in your living room with a cordless precision controller iron-gripped in your sweaty hands.

The long, long in development film adaptation of the classic video game shooter, Doom is a decent enough action film as long as you don't expect too much out of it.

Just your basic Aliens rip-off with the name of a formerly popular video game franchise tacked on it.

Roger Ebert put it best, "Doom is like some kid came over and is using your computer and won't let you play."

A nifty piece of low-ambition entertainment that knows exactly what it is, and delivers fairly well on its promises.

Very bloody and gory movie based on a video game. Not for kids.

If gaming is about playing, why would a gamer want to watch movies like this?

There's no rule that videogame movies have to be idiotic. And there's no rule that action-horror flicks need be dumb.

Who knew that a life-and-death struggle in the dark with psychotic hybrids could end up being so bland?

Doom is irritating enough to make you blow off some steam by spending a couple hours gunning down demons.
