Review of Doomsday (2008) by Adamr — 21 Mar 2008

Now I think a rating below 5 makes you markedly less intelligent because it is IMMEDIATELY apparent that you don't understand that this movie has a niche in which it is perfect. If it's not your type of movie, don't f*(&%ing rate it.

Every so often, a movie comes around that is some person's brainchild and will be excruciatingly painful in the name of "art" (Babel comes to mind). You know these. They feel like over-acted high-school plays shot in black and white with vaseline on the screen.

The end usually ends with "fin" in script. These movies suck, yet we all feel there's a greater meaning that requires donning this s*$% sandwich with an academy award or five. All I wanted tonight was a little action, a little (lot) gore, a little comedy, and a movie that's not completely predictable.

"Doomsday" provided outstandingly on all fronts while evoking the nostalgia of "Mad Max," "28 days later," and strangely "I am legend" (which was ironically released AFTER Doomsday was shot).

If you gave this movie a poor rating, perhaps you should learn the terms GENRE and NICHE understand why people may like the movie that you hated. If you like chick flicks, go watch those instead of plaguing us with your fanboy opinions about something you chose to watch knowing it wouldn't be enjoyable for you.
