And I think that you've pinpointed the key element in a movie or book adaptation of these shooting games. I've read the DOOM novels, too, and found they weren't particularly DOOM-like in this regard, unfortunately. DOOM should be a horror movie first, action or sci-fi second.This is why Kill Bill (particularly part 2) stands head and shoulders over, say, any Jet Li movie (and I'm a big Jet Li fan). Uma Thurman, as a female, gets to show fear, terror, anguish and all those emotions that male action stars are only allowed to feel or show for 3 seconds, if at all. If the hero isn't afraid of fighting a giant, unstoppable creature with enough firepower to kill them a hundred times over, why should we be afraid for them? Unfortunately, we don't get much of that from Resident Evil, either (oh well).I liked RE:Apocalypse well enough, but I came into it with extremely low standards (I never even finished watching the first one). And damn, Sienna Guillory is FINE. She stole the show, as far as I was concerned.</blockquote>
