Doom: Annihilation (2019)
The first time I saw the Rock/Karl Urban version I didn't mind it, but it didn't hold up when I watched it again. People seem to be ripping this to shreds. It seems they might have effed it up again...

Phuck even DOOM guy isn't safe and becomes DOOM lady
Why can't they just make a first person shooter movie kicking demon ass? It's not hard
Even id software want nothing to do with this:
On the 11th of March 2019, id Software's official Doom social media account expressed its distance from the project, stating they are "not involved with the movie". This came as a response to the mostly negative fan feedback following the trailer release for Doom: Annihilation.
The movie is so bad...ID software doesn't want anything to do with it

Everyone needs Doomguy apparently... Gotta love how taking potshots at the source material like that to garner attention pretty much always backfires.
And yeah, this pretty much makes the 2005 Doom movie look like a masterpiece. Apart from making the demons out to be some science experiment gone wrong instead of denizens of hell, it was dumb fun at least along with the cast (Dwayne Johnson, Karl Urban, etc), but this has utter shite production value with no one remarkable of note involved. It's a Uwe Boll level movie or worse.
Looks like utter dogshit.
That said, all the stupid people in the world will say that the problem here is Doomguy being a Doomgirl instead, despite the Karl Urban one being dogshit as well, but the actual problem is that no one in Hollywood has any idea how to film action setpieces in the manic and visceral manner that you'd need to do a game like Doom justice. The problem is always the same: it's too slow. A scene of some chick shaking a gun at the camera and then cutting to a zombie falling down won't cut it.

That seems about right. Why not hire the guy who directed Hardcore Henry to direct? There's your first-person perspective right there. Of course then you'd need some A-list horror production design, but you know..
It has some interesting background lore, at least from the Doom 3 era and onward, which the 2005 movie paid homage to with showing artifacts and stuff of the deceased ancient martian civilization.
The first film was subpar, yes, but have to give it credit for the few things it did right, which will probably be more than can said for Annihilation. Hey, you know what other video game film followup that sucked hard and had a similar title? Mortal Kombat Annihilation! Because they annihilate what was good about the source material!
