Doomsday: First (and only?) review

I've been telling you for weeks now how immensely silly and entertaining I thought Neil Marshall's new movie Doomsday was going to be.

Somehow though, the exclusive first review of this Blockbuster Buzz favourite has gone to Movie Moron.

And they don't even seem to like it much:

The director has an obvious fondness for the horror genre, and he shows here that he is a more than capable director with some very neat visual flourishes, the only trouble being that when all the clever nods to genre staples are over, there’s nothing left but poorly delivered lines and the kind of performances you’d expect from a Uwe Boll film.

Uwe Boll? That's harsh.

Click through for the full review, which contains at least one good-sized spoiler.
