The characters here are barely one dimensional. Unlike ALIENS, Doom lacks a strong story and well-developed characters that the audience can cheer for. Although not nearly as stylish and entertaining as Mortal Kombat or Resident Evil, DOOM may not be the mind-blowing spectacle that fans of the video game were hoping for, but at least it knows what it is: a fun ALIENS knock-off. Now that I've viewed the unrated version, DOOM can be added to that list. There have been, however, some decent adaptations like Mortal Kombat (the first film, not the sequel) and the Resident Evil films. There have been a large amount pretty awful video game adaptations of such games as Wing Commander, Super Mario Bros., Tomb Raider, Street Fighter, Double Dragon, and House of the Dead. The genre of movies based on video games is one of those and rightfully so. There are certain genres that are despised no matter what.
