Time for yet another Dwayne Johnson action vehicle. He does at least a dozen a year these days. This time around, the subject-de-grace is Hollywood’s latest attempt at a movie based on a video game, and we all know what powerhouse films those things are. This is Rampage, based on an arcade classic from the 80s and 90s, wherein giant monsters wreck a city and eat people. It was as basic as they come for game in those days in terms of plot, and this film follows in much the same vein. That’s not to say this movie is terrible by any means. In fact, it may be the best video game movie to date, if only by virtue of being “least bad” and “most watchable.” Rampage is able to succeed, at least as much as one can hope, because it is aware of what it is and doesn’t venture too far from expectations. Everything is kept very simple, so this movie isn’t going to win anyone over looking for depth or challenge, but it does satisfy those looking for a dumb action movie dumb action and big effects. Like many other video game movies based on properties with little to no plot, Rampage has to make up most all of it, including premise and all the human characters. The premise is your basic evil science makes giant monsters because… science. The villains seem like they were pulled from a Saturday morning cartoon. And there are the standard army guys who don’t listen and just throw missiles at it. Nothing significant deviates from the standard tropes. Because of this, when actual emotion and drama are attempted with some characters’ backstories (only through expositional dialogue, no less), it falls flat because it’s not found anywhere else and it too is pulled from the box-o-clichés. It is minor and infrequent enough not to distract too much. Most actors do well enough for what they are and what this film is. The villains overact with their weaseliness and blatant corporate evil, but the script doesn’t demand more from them than that; their demises are both fitting and funny. The scientist lady is also passable for what she is, but she is sidelined and incidental at best. What carries this film is obviously Dwayne Johnson and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. They are charismatic, funny, and their charm here stems from that they clearly know that this movie is absurd and dumb but they also run with how fun and ridiculous it can be. Sadly though, Joe Manganiello was wasted here. He got better treatment in Justice League and Spider-Man. The pacing is problematic, but that’s mostly because this is a feature-length movie, and that requires a plot. The psudeo-science, character motivations and relationships are quickly set up, but then the plot meanders for almost an hour until it gets to what everyone came for: giant monsters wrecking a major city. When it does finally get there, it does quite well. But here, it was definitely the destination and not the journey. I personally don’t take issue with the departures made from the game in terms of character design or plot; here, it makes more sense for the purposes of film and at least partially grounding what is a ridiculous scenario. Overall, Rampage was an okay film. And that’s the best I can say for it. It knows that it’s a mindless popcorn flick that will be quickly experienced and then done with. It takes that absurdity and runs with it, but it can only run so far with what it’s been given. Final grade: C+

One of the best movie I've seen in 2018 Great special effects, Great Story and packed with a lot of action!!! A MUST SEE MOVIE TO HAVE!!!

Movie had digital redemption code that did not work.

What Can You say a gorilla Who Does Sign This Movie Was Cute And A Lot Of Action And Adventure. Dwayne Johnson Is Not A Great Actor. But This Movie Was About Saving Endangered Animals. George Was Funny . Family Movie Even Though A lot Of Violence 3 Main Stares outstanding. Villians we Even Good

This is a good movie lots of action and quite a few laughs but action mainly from beginning to end. Not much like the video game it came from but definitely worth watching if your a Rock fan.

This movie was much better than I expected and if you have a 4k compatible receiver and a decent set up the sound is amazing, I have a 4k receiver and a low end subwoofer and cheapo speakers from the stone age and this movie sounded great.

As a kaiju fan this was a definite purchase for me and the 4k quality provides a nice uptick in the colors, especially with HDE. The steelbook artwork is nothing special IMHO, however, I have no regrets with the purchase.

I really enjoy all Dwayne Johnson movies this one was really good it was packed with action and great graphics I really like this movie if you haven't seen this move will you definitely got to buy it here at Best Buy

I das a little sceptical about this movie AT first bit watching it i liked the way he interacted with George android went against everyone to sabe his friendo.

This is a must have 3d movie...his movies are similiar but they are greAt!

Everything about this movie is just that much better in 4k. The scenery, the monsters and the action

Really good movie, played the game as a kid and I think this movie did it justice!

I love this movie, and the packaging is amazing! Great graphics!

The Rock plays a perfect Bad a-- role as usual.Good film.

This movie is truly amazing and awesome. Cool!!!!!

Action packed movie. Would be great in 3D to watch!

This is what movies have come to either zombie apocalypse or a cgi slumberfest bring on the infinity war because this crap can only entertain a child!

A very idiotic movie witht CGI as bad as acting. Not worth a bit, unless you live in the 80's and like mindless action.
