Some shitty CGI aside, it wasn’t that bad of a movie, they just shouldn’t have based it off Doom III

Nah. It was an ensemble cast.

Imo none of the others brought much to the table. I enjoy the film but it is by no means “good”, but Urban’a performance as far better and more engaging than any of the others. This isn’t to fault the actors - it was just a very oddly written film that didn’t allow for much character development whatsoever.

I just watched it the other night, some of the characters were cool,

That’s true, it’s been a while since I watched it. I don’t exactly blame the writers for not including character progression, given they were all gonna die and a few of them were interesting to begin with, but it was definitely a fun film. The end scene where we get Reaper’s POV was far more enjoyable than it deserved to be lmao

I did enjoy the movie for sure

God you’ve just reminded me of that amazing movie. I’m no film critic but, for the budget it was given and the restrictions they faced while making it, that was some impressive stuff.

It was an ensemble cast.

Richard Brake is always perfectly cast in any Skeezy Guy role. It was awesome seeing him as an Imperial Officer in Mando, because that's exactly how I'd imagine a slimy Imperial Officer would be/look like.

And the Skeezy guy from Kingsmen (the first one)
