Ya, I'm partial to Doom as well. I really didn't like the new one. It was alright, but just way too dumbed down and over the top action.

The thing that sort of pissed me off the most was that it was a lazy write. All the other movies are stand alone, this one however was all nostalgia, big stunts and hat tips.

The whole formula was different. I get what they were trying to do, with the updating themes to suit the 50's, but it was just too much mindless action and no calm moments of Indy charm - like 'no ticket'. There was no substance, just a throw away action movie.

I can't fault the plot, as it's no less believable than face melting ghosts and heart snatching gurus.
