You have probably done fans of the game a great service by not taking it.

Those of us that do like games are sick of people who know nothing about them making shitty adaptions. Doom had a perfectly simple plot that would have translated beautifully into a nice, straight-forward action horro rmovie.

Instead, we got Duane Johnson fighting Eormir.... A fist fight in DOOM...

First. Person. SHOOTER.

Barely including the BFG in a doom movie was like making a video game out of the first 3 (in real life, not movie timeline) star wars movie where darth vader has a short walk on appearance...
