10 Critically Reviled Video Game Movies (That Really Aren't THAT Bad)

Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer Score: 19%

Critics Consensus: "The FPS sections are sure to please fans of the video game, but lacking in plot and originality to please other moviegoers."

Being the first-person shooter game series that it is, Doom was always a concept that was going to struggle in a wider production involving other characters, but the thing that got to most people was how the story was rewritten to make it more, well, alien - instead of allowing it to be the apocalyptic and hellish horror it should have been.

So yes, the critics are right in a sense because that robbed the film of the game's originality and essentially presented it just like any other bland sci-fi movie - hardly surprising that it bombed then, right? That being said, there's a highly watchable quality about Doom that separates it from the typical 'bad video game move'.

The characters are thinly-written, yes, but the plot is at least a little engaging - and it ultimately paves the way for some highly enjoyable shootout sequences, including some neat little first-person shooter scenes that will undoubtedly make the video game fans smile. And it's worth it alone just to see a pre-Dwayne Johnson Rock forge the beginning of his action hero persona.
