Rampage Trailers

Primatologist Davis Okoye shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.

Don't expect any awards for this movie, but if you want some escapism for an hour and a half and to be entertained, this is for you.

Dwayne Johnson is doing pretty good for himself in 2018; releasing two movies so far. Both 2018 movies feel tacked on and rushed, and Rampage suffers from both those issues. Dwyane Johnson has realized that he's one of the biggest actors nowadays, so he has to star in as much movies as he can before his hype dies down. The name Rampage is very self explanatory for the movie, and most of the time the movie does a great job at living up to the name. Dwayne Johnson is already in four movies in 2019, and I'm very confident he's going to burn himself out. Whenever I see a movie that's all about enjoying the action and having a great, I usually join the audiences' opinion, but this time I'm joining the critics.Story: 6/10Rampage is a very average monster movie, and it keeps that classic aspect to it. Rampage doesn't offer anything new, except for bringing in giant animals that could destroy a city. I think the script is a little silly in my opinion; that scientists were experimenting antidotes in space, then it goes south and the remaining antidotes fall onto Earth and a couple animals touched it and became big and dangerous. The story is very focused on corporate aspects, which a lot of movies nowadays focus on. To be honest, I was expecting a worse storyline, but it wasn't that bad. The pacing was pretty good, and the movie stays on track and doesn't focus on subplots too much. Overall, the story was decent, the pacing was pretty good for an action movie, and the story has a classic monster movie aspect to it.Characters: 3/10A lot of action movies have trouble with creating good characters, and Rampage suffers from that too. All the characters were cliche; each character had their own stereotype. Dwayne was the strong protagonist, Dr. Kate Caldwell (Played by: Naomie Harris) was the smart good scientist, Claire Wyden (Played by: Malin Akerman) was the evil corporate leader, and Harvey Russell (Played by: Jeffrey Dean Morgan) was the cowboy special ops commander. The rest of the supporting characters were also cliches too. The monsters were done well; looking scary and being able to cause a lot of destruction. What confused me the most about the monsters was, why didn't George become all mean looking like the wolf and the crocodile. Overall, the characters were stereotypical and just terrible, the monsters were good, but why didn't George become evil looking?Action: 8/10Being a PG-13 movie, Rampage was very gore. There was a curtain scene that looked like it was ripped straight out of Saving Private Ryan (D-Day scene). I think the reason why this movie was PG-13 is because Dwayne Johnson was in it, but this movie easily could've been rated R. The comedy was very weak, not one joke landed, and it just came out awkward. I liked how when the action started, it never stopped; it was just constant action. Overall, Rampage is very brutal, and it could've been a rated R film, the action was fun and it never stopped, but the comedy was very weak and disappointing.Overall, Rampage is an average movie. I only enjoyed the action, and that's it. A lot of action movies have great action, but a weak script, and Rampage is the perfect example of that. The comedy was really awkward and painfully cringey. The characters were terrible; all being cliches and stereotypes of modern Hollywood. Rampage is a fun movie to watch; only watch Rampage for the action, and that's it.
