Karl Urban: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

3. John Grimm - Doom

Made back when video game movies were still crap... erm... no, scratch that… we just got Warcraft... Let's start again.

Unsurprisingly crap because it’s a video game movie, Doom often gets chalked up as a Rock movie, mainly because he’s the only semi-ironically good thing in it. It’s actually an Urban joint, with Karl cashing in on his LOTR notoriety to get the lead Reaper.

It wasn't a smart choice. He’s playing the generic action hero and nothing more, staring into space with a vacant expression in most scenes and grimacing unnecessarily in the others, never convincing as a soldier nor a doting brother to Rosamund Pike.

Even his action side doesn't get a proper stretch. You could say that the final fight between The Rock and Urban is a shlockily good time. You’d also be wrong.
