Doom Movie Won't Suck?

The San Diego Comic-Con sounded like it was quite a blast. Among some of the game-related things that happened at the convention, some of the cast of the upcoming Doom movie were on-hand to defend, I mean answer questions about the upcoming film.

Gamecloud has an excellent write-up from the event. The feeling most seem to have coming away from the Q&A is that the movie won't suck after all. Of course that is the point of events like this, but since they did show bits of the film I'm hoping there's some truth to the rumors of non-sucktitude.

The movie will now take place on Mars instead of some unheard of planet, there will be at least one scene filmed in first-person shooter mode and most of the creatures in the movie were created by Stan Winston Studios. (Those are the guys who made the creatures in all of the Terminator movies, Aliens and Predator.)

My money's still on this being another crap-fest, but I am now open to being completely wrong.
