Rampage: Capital Punishment is the highly anticipated sequel to the Uwe Boll directed Rampage released in 2009. Many audiences and critics found the original film to be a surprise in terms of film making since Uwe Boll has been considered a very poor filmmaker. Having seen the original and considering a very refreshing and entertaining film, one had expectations about this film. This sequel is not on the same level as the original mainly because we are already used to the shock value. Though in this film, the action (in terms of the ruthless shootings) are less, it is more centered inside a smaller plot scale. This film is still a solid watch if you were a fan of the original and the performance of lead Brendan Fletcher is still very thoughtful, and engaging. Taking place in a television studio, we see Bill continue with his rants and keeping hostages of workers in there. What happens in the end is quite clever.

After somehow 'finishing watching, "Rampage: Capital Punishment" my opinions is that this was as evil and nihilistic a movie as I had ever seen. I had contemplated 'giving up' on watching the movie many times throughout. I probably should have; there was absolutely no point to the movie. From Boll's point-of-view there are no 'good aspects' in society, whatsoever, and no God, either. I can meet him half-way there because there are many 'vain' things about society but his nihilistic mind shouldn't be allowed to be transferred to film. In criticizing Hollywood and scummy movies, he himself sets a precedent -as a hypocrite- in creating the most vile movie I've ever seen. The very name "Uwe Boll" seems like the name befitting of a very stupid person with a very stupid face.Brendan Fletcher (Paul Teutel Jr.'s 'lost twin brother' who was forsaken by Paul Teutel Sr. and 'cast out' of the family which is why he changed his name to "Brendan Fletcher") has the 'generic' and 'typical' uber-stupid personality, voice, and face of so many people of his generation these days. A real idiot. I'm kind of glad that he was 'forsaken' by the Teutels years ago: He really is something of a bastard, a black-sheep, atheistic retard.Uwe Boll -to direct a film like this (as well as a prequel and sequel) must be an evil nihilistic, atheistic, retard himself; he also has a very stupid face -not one you would think would be capable of much 'enlightenment' or 'imagination' in film-directing. Probably not coincidental he's German. He would've made a good, atypical, prototypical science-worshipping 'atheistic-Nazi.' One thing that 'lured' me into watching this movie was the premise of Fletcher killing "pigs." "Pigs" are Nazis, themselves -they are not 'good' guys. I love film directors that dare showing pigs being mowed down left and right and dying very graphically-violent deaths. One thing I DO relate to in the role of Fletcher is going into police stations and F.B.I. building and mowing down all kinds of "pigs" and law enforcement personnel. People that 'blindly' follow orders are nothing more than generic retards not 'good guys.' I've never met ANYONE that had ANYTHING to do with criminal justice that had anything resembling a personality -which is something that goes hand-in-hand (a PERSONALITY, and thus, SUBSTANCE) with truly being a 'good guy.' Other than that, there's nothing about this movie that isn't very nihilistic and evil. The realistic gunning down of innocent people didn't exactly 'flip my lid' -even as an "action-afficionado": 2 stars out of 10.

The first RAMPAGE was an unexpectedly entertaining and interesting movie. Not just when you stack it against the rest of Uwe Boll's movies, but on even on it's own. It was a character study, it pulled no punches, it had an thought provoking and an up-to-interpretation message. The violence was done quietly and realistically and Uwe Boll had finally made a movie we could all agree was good. So i went into this movie with higher expectations than I usually would for a film from Mr. Boll. Unfortunately, he throws most of that out the window here and goes back to the same slack style he's used in his earlier movies.The good: the performance from Brendan Fletcher really is great and the best part of the movie, like how it was in the first one. When he's monologue-ing to the camera or another character about his plan, it draws you in and makes you wonder if this guy really is crazy, or if he really is making sense. It at least gives you some points to think about. Which is why it's frustrating that once the movie's second act starts and Uwe Boll introduces the character he plays into the movie, he completely undercuts it and shoots himself in the foot. He cuts himself randomly in the middle of Brendan Fletcher's speeches with his own lines of nonsense and it kills the momentum and build up of the speech, with a character that could have been completely cut from the movie, no less.And that's about where the good stops. The action in the first almost leaves your mouth agape with how shocking his rampage through the street is. Here, it's directed like it's a video game, with rock music blaring in the background, and the kills being zoomed in and slow motioned and everybody doing a slow-mo flip when shot. I get wanting to do something different, but this movie is essentially the same setup as the first, and he's killing innocents, and none of that weight carries over when the kills are shot and directed this way. it's extremely broad compared to how hard nosed the original handled it.Once the second act hits, get ready for a total of 2 locations for the rest of the movie. Not like in the first, where he walked the streets, met people, called back to a location or person from earlier, throw that out the window. Here, it's in a room with hostages, and outside of that room where the police officer is. that's it. and the Police Officer's shot is always the same. He's standing in front of a brick wall with a table in front of it. the camera doesn't move, he doesn't go talk to other officers or wander to get evidence or question anybody anywhere else. It cuts to him periodically and it's literally the exact same shot and setup every time. And I'm not saying limited locations means a bad movie automatically. CLERKS is almost completely in a convenience store, but the shots are setup different and creatively each time. Uwe refuses to move the camera anywhere but facing a wall.With how good Brendan Fletcher, it shows how much poorer the rest of the supporting cast is, and it's a shame, because Fletcher really is great in this role. It just seems like Uwe developed his character and wrote out these great monologues for him to say, and then didn't put much thought into how to flesh out all those ideas.RAMPAGE: CAPITAL PUNISHMENT isn't Uwe Boll's worst movie, and it does have a good first act that feels close to the original RAMPAGE, it just slowly spirals down the drain as it goes along.

Well I guess, I shouldn't review it as an usual Uwe Boll movie... I hate the guy, I hate what he did to some of my favorite video-game franchises... (Check my voting history for a proof) but I've to admit that what he did with Rampage in 2009 was quite a shock, I don't consider Rampage as a movie with a message, or maybe there was...but a negative one... still it was a good movie...And now we have Rampage: Capital Punishment... I seriously don't know what to say about it... The ending leaves me perplex... I liked the idea of transferring a universal message to a broader audience.Sure there is the Greater Good message... But it's quite ambiguous... I accept the idea that like a great percentage of world population, including me, Uwe Boll is against violence, the treatment of the population by the world governments, the spying, etc.But at the same time, we have science helping us advance, and that's the message missing in the movie. Violence doesn't resolve everything... With the recent events about ISIS, I've the feeling that some people watching the movie would take it as a positive message for mass recruitment for some terrorist organization.Believe me, I liked the movie, still can't believe it's directed by Uwe Boll... But you've to be open minded, not just anti-Obama or for the liberals anti-Bush.Make your own opinion.And Mr. Boll, Thanks (Can't believe again I said that)
