Rampage: Furia animale

I'm not familiar with the game and watched the film without knowing its origins. For those Gen Xers who recall the original Godzilla, you'll be having a bit of deja vu with this film. The Rock always draws an audience despite being on the wrong side of politics this year. Men like that are still attractive and that's really all they're good for. That's sarcasm, for those getting all worked up.

The film itself had some well-placed humor though nothing too overt. George, the albino gorilla, relaces the family dog here in the sense that he's the cutie pie that makes it a good ending as the film wraps up. Johnson delivers his usual testosterone & brawn surrounded by what I can only describe as massive CGI-created chaos. For being 2018, I was actually slightly disappointed in the quality. The monsters, including the mutated gorilla, didn't move as realistically as I expected. Perhaps the technical team was going more for detail in the features, which were impressive.

People call the plot thin but I'm just wondering what plot they're looking for in a film about monsters destroying a city. This one does an acceptable job of imagining a private engineering company launches a space craft into orbit in an attempt to ensure their experiment is contained away from mankind. That doesn't go to plan.

There is a handful of main actors who all sell their character successfully.

It's not a film most adults would pay to see without at least one teen egging them on. It's entertaining as an unpaid offering on Freevee.

It's a Rampage movie, I'm not sure what else people are expecting walking into this movie. It's fun, filled with action and very little on working on guy/girl romance which I always thought deviated from the plot anyhow. It's full of action, adventure and very slight amount of problem solving and that's all you need from a movie like this.

Ok, let's see. A movie based on an incredibly simple video game about monsters climbing buildings and eating people.

Do people go in thinking it's going to be Oscar material?

I love Godzilla. I love Kong Skull Island, Pacific Rim, you get the picture.

It's a giant monster movie with The Rock and Negan in it. And it is a barrel of fun.

The humor is good, the effects are great, the story is interesting, the pace is fast, the characters are fun.

If you can turn off your brain and just have a good time, you'll love this.

For people saying they hated it, I have to question their reasoning for spending money on a movie that is clearly laid out by the trailer and premise alone.

If you didn't enjoy it, what on earth did you expect?????

A movie about an old arcade game starring the Rock? Count me in. I went in with my brain shut off, and got a couple chuckles and, for the most part, everything I expected.

Appreciate this film for what it is: fun, mindless, action-filled entertainment. No need to dissect, analyse or compare this. My only few complaints are that the writing was too loose and should have been edited down by 15-20 mins to keep the pace more elevated throughout. Also, not a fan of the Energyne CEO sister and brother characters - they were way too cheesy and annoying and cheapened the film. All other actors were cast and performed great, and Dwayne entertained as always. The SFX/VFX were also great. A fun and well deserved 8/10 from me
