To be honest, after I read IGN's set visit
( http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/656/656678p1.html ),
I am really excited about it. The run down was a good movie, and really showed that the rock can act. He is pretty much exclusively and action star, but he does that really, really well. Ifyou think that a big dumb wrestler is staring in it is going to ruin the movie, just think of how well Andre the Giant did in The Princess Bride rather than Hulk Hogan in, well, anything. Also, it will depend on what you are expecting out of the movie. Lets be honest, was there really a story to Doom? Probably, but it was vague and took a trunk ride to the game play. Forging a story from that real may yield great results. More than likely however, it will be all about the action. And if that is all it is, and it makes no apologies about it, then that's fine.
