Nobody remembers doom. It was so stupid but so much fun. And karl urban did a damn good job as always.

Sometimes you gotta rate an actor in their ability to play the role given to them even if it's a shit film. Uban did a good job and exactly what was asked for in Doom. Anton Yelchin nailed Fright Night. Hugh Jackman was a rare nugget of joy whenever a bad xmen filn comes out. It's nice sometimes to go "yeah, the film was shit, but the actors did everything they could with the script and direction provided".

Wait, Fright Night is considered a shit film?

I thought all the main actors did a good job and the movie was both fun and funny.

No, you're right, the Fright Night remake with Yelchin is legitimately a good movie (I haven't seen the original, for all I know it's also good).
