You'd think with the name, in the long run this is just going to pollute the opinion of game -> movies, and they'll just lose their hot source of revenue. With all the bad publicity this movie's getting, without being out of the starting gate, you'd think nobody would even bother to see it. I know I won't.

And wouldn't they attract just as many people without the name? Or is it just a horrible script and they don't think anyone would see the movie if it weren't for the name? I have to wonder if people would be as disappointed with the movie if they didn't call it "Doom," maybe in its own right it would have been a better story if it didn't have the stigma of trying to be like Doom on its back.
