I wouldn't exactly say 'supposed to', but straight adaptations rarely ever work and tend to be flatout impossible.

No, the Doom movie failed because it was just a terrible movie to begin with.
Doom got doomed because the ones making the movie didn't follow the plot of the game. Instead of Hell being literally unleashed, we just got mutants running out of a lab. Crappy plot, crappy characters that were made up instead of putting in characters from the game, and the movie isn't as scary as its videogame counterpart which led to its awfulness.
Why did they even change the plot of the Doom movie in the first place? It doesn't make sense. I believe they once said that they wanted to please the fans and yet the movie looks like it's shouting "I think the videogame Doom fans can go shove their fanboyism up where the sun doesn't shine". Unfortunately when Hollywood does listen to people telling them to come up with their own ideas, they come up with the ideas under a title we're familiar with.
