Doom- the movie?

O god. A movie based on a Microsoft console sellout? Way to go, man.
 
The problem with the Splinter Cell movie is Michael Ironsides IS Sam Fisher, he just is. No two ways about it. That voice is what makes Sam, well, Sam.

Unfortunately, he is too old and looks nothing like Sam Fisher. Which means the Splinter Cell movie is already starting on a bad foot because they are going to be missing the most defining point of Sam, his voice.

As far as the Halo movie goes? I'm going to reserve judgement until more is known before I condemn of exault it. After the Lord of the Rings' movies I trust him. I think he might be able to pull it off, especially because he holds enough klout in Hollywood to get the budget you would need for a movie like this.(Though he does seem to have a strange fixation with New Zealand).
Mind you when it is revealed that the Rock is going to be playing Master Chief.

All is truly lost.
 
The difference with the Splinter cell movie is that Tom Clancy is part of it. While the movies based on his books and so on might not be the best, he still has experience.
 
Well no offense but that's some terrible logic. Just because he has experience making bad movies does not qualify him to make good movies.

Uwe Boll for example has made a number of flicks himself.

All of which are terrible. This does not mean I trust his experience to make a good movie.

Tom Clancy is by and large. A total hack.

My case and point really.
 
That's the thing. Tom Clancy is a relatively poor writer. You can't expect bad books (or a bad video games, for that matter) to spawn good movies. That's why Splinter Cell movie is bound to suck
 
Sum of all fears was pretty good. But good or bad isn't really the point. Uwe Boll doesn't know how to make movies, whether good or bad. The whole technical aspect of making a movie is lacking in Uwe Boll's tiny brain.

No rhyme intended.

Yeah. It was painful to say the least. Trying to make something that is MEANT to be relatively mindless into this... shitheap... of expostion...

Arrgh.
 
I disagree. It was mildly entertaining,and should not be considered a shitheap. Maybe a small pile of poo,but not a heap.
 
Tom Clancy Flicks-
I think a lot of it came down to Harrison Ford.

Hunt for Red October- mildly interesting- better book. Alec Baldwin as Jack Ryan- didn't do it.

Patriot Games- a bit better.
Clear and Present Danger- better yet.

Sum of all Fears- kind of weak. But Ben Affleck wasn't good in that.

And Clancy's books have been going downhill for a long time.
 
Clancy's best book imo is Red Storm Rising. Co-written with Larry Bond of course! :mrgreen:
 
Just saw Doom. Not too bad - the sci-fi-horror part dragged on but the 'first person view' sequence was pretty fucking cool. That alone was worth my five bucks.

Yeah, well, you're wrong.

It was awful and terrible. It did not even try to follow in the vein of the game in that "jump out of your seat" scariness. It was just a mindless, stupid action flick.
 
My opinion doesn't make me wrong. Do you even know how to communicate with people without being a dillweed?
 
Saw the movie...As a Doom fan since the original...My opinion is that the movie is a waste of money. Plus, its not worth wasting you time watching. I'm waiting for the Halo movie that is going to be directed by Peter Jackson myself.
