A movie that's about giant monsters attacking a city didn't need to have this much plot. <br /><br />I didn't hate Rampage though. It was really silly, but part of the charm was watching The Rock and Naomi Harris taking it all really seriously. Or at least they seemed to be. <br /><br />Monster stuff was familiar, but done well enough. And unlike a certain other movie with a big lizard, the monsters in Rampage actually fight each other and it's easy to follow because the scenes don't take place in the dark.Hamsterdamnedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16183553579726987189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-20005784993964614592018-04-16T14:20:39.901-05:002018-04-16T14:20:39.901-05:00maybe a bigger building, that's also on fire, ...maybe a bigger building, that's also on fire, but he has one leg.<br /><br />anyway, he's The Rock. even in Baywatch it was worth watching just for him (and the ladies of course)Kuniderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05872530831159876322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-59732319884564967582018-04-16T12:28:46.590-05:002018-04-16T12:28:46.590-05:00But this time... it's a BIGGER building! ;)But this time... it's a BIGGER building! ;)Daniel Eplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866855763520017556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-72621357088099606162018-04-16T12:17:32.247-05:002018-04-16T12:17:32.247-05:00It's Die Hard in a building.It's Die Hard in a building.

But I would argue the movie isn't "stupid" it's "ridiculous". It's consistently "big, broad, and ridiculous" in every way from the plot, action, performances, dialogue, everything. And if you're not on board for that, that's fine, but I found it a huge amount of fun. The movie knows it's silly as hell, and I for one really enjoyed watching a big, silly action monster movie. I love that stuff. I agree that the corporate villain scenes are terrible. I agree there's no stand out action moment, although some moments come close. I love every time the Rock shot a rocket launcher at something, but it's not quite enough. I agree Naomi Harris is under served, but it's not really her movie, it's the Rock's movie. And I liked him here. This movie is not an all timer. It's just a fun theater experience, and that's enough for me. I like fun theater experiences.<br /><br />But then, I loved Skull Island, so I guess I'm the target audience. Still don't like Transformers though!Daniel Eplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866855763520017556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-48926053264687798662018-04-16T07:37:21.066-05:002018-04-16T07:37:21.066-05:00I still cannot believe that the filmmakers ditched...I still cannot believe that the filmmakers ditched the original Scum soda backstory of the video game,JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076030814908114779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-16497267780453430592018-04-16T07:20:57.723-05:002018-04-16T07:20:57.723-05:00Funny enough, i listened to one of your old podcas...Funny enough, i listened to one of your old podcast where you were joking about a Rampage movie (can't remember which podcast)Kuniderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05872530831159876322noreply@blogger.com
