We've woken up to a different world. A world in which a good video game movie exists. This is a game-changer - no pun intended. From now on, whenever anyone says "video game movies are bad", you can say "Rampage!"
Everyone knows that tumbling skyscrapers produce clouds of smoke and ash because they've seen footage of 9/11. Prior to that, tumbling skyscrapers in movies generally didn't include the clouds of smoke and ash.

Is Robbie good friends with Dwayne? I enjoyed 'San Andreas' so was looking forward to this but was really disappointed. Not sure where the 'fun' was - just countless unnecessary exposition scenes and some pretty terrible action sequences. They really struggled to find a way to fit Dwayne Johnson in to the monster action. A movie that clearly didn't know it's target audience - the premise had appeal for pre-teens but what was with the overall gloomy tone and the littering of S-bombs throughout? Went for edgy when this could have been big dumb fun
Saw it today, and it is what it is , a thoroughly enjoyable popcorn movie, one thing is for sure Dwayne Johnson is killing it at the moment even Baywatch was totally enjoyable , and to make Rampage even better we saw it in the newly refurbished Odeon cinema with super comfy reclining seats and even a retractable table for your Munchie's .. But one word of Warning - Do Not see it or any other movie with "ChickenWire" he can't tell a movie from an orange
Some very clever notions expressed here. Particularly the 80's action movie/vietnam war social catharsis idea, & subsequent Dwayne Johnson action film/post 9-11 catharsis. I like this softly spoken beardy jumper man Robbie Collin.
Oh please it’s the most predictable unbelievable, unoriginal film I’ve seen. A film about the guy making the film on a computer would be more interesting and investable. SPOIlER ALERT So I starts off like Gravity gone wrong, then it becomes Planet of the Apes with an albino Caesar then Mowi does his whole talk to the animals thing then some guys who look like they could be in the Jurassic Park films have turned out to have made some magical gene thing that makes animals into monsters. The monsters escape yet can’t be destroyed. The army randomly bombs places without the permission from the president The Rock gets shot yet somehow survives the monsters are following a signal (A Quite Place) style then King Kong happens with Godzilla but the Avengers don’t arrive but it’s ok Mowi does and everything’s ok in the end and the Ape even helps tidy it all up . Sorry guys he doesn’t sing!
roblex63 Haha no just something that got me a little scared or had a realistic premise. I guess I was expecting Jurassic Park 1 or King Kong and instead we just got cgi caos.
It hasn’t been said yet, but it really should: that’s a very nice jumper, Robbie.
His jumpers are legendary.
& his beard makes me feel safe

To give him his full title, Dwayne "The Rock" "Smoldering Intensity" Johnson. My favourite movie star.
Great review Robbie, some really interesting points about what it all really means!
Notice how it was also poetic; in that the villains ended up destroying themselves.
Robbie, excellent review!
Everyone knows that tumbling skyscrapers produce clouds of smoke and ash. Saying they got the visuals from 9/11 would be pretty stupid.

Building demolition draws crowds of spectators. When they come down, they produce smoke and ash. The filmmakers wouldn't need to study 9/11 footage.
Have to say I enjoyed it! Gave it 7/10 on IMDB (although this seems to be my average rating, lol)
Saw this earlier today and i will quote Mr Horse "No Sir,i don't like it"
skijumpnose Are you per chance in need of some rubber walrus protectors?

A good videogame movie?

Wait...are you suggesting that 9/11 was done by giant monsters?

It's not that deep, man.
