Better than Pacific Rim Uprising and definitely more enjoyable than Tomb Rider. A great Video Game adaptation.

Aside from the issue of no humans mutating, I saw the movie and it was a blast to sit through. A real monster blockbuster. I've played the Rampage games and am a fan myself and can tell you this is a good one.

Agree. This movie shouldn't be judged by it's cover definitely.

Might watch this in the movies since some people seem to be liking it.

And the decision to be unfaithful is a lameass one.

A person involved concluded that because this obscure video game which I doubt is true it was released on PS1, and in arcades the person believed that's why this movie doesn't have to be faithful to the source material and could be successful at the box office avoiding the video game movie curse.


The Resident Evil movie franchise was mostly successful at the box office too was it not? Perfect example, among video game movies at least as to how sales =/= quality, though glad to hear Rampage is more of a critical success for some fans at least. Am more considering of seeing this sometime just on that, though was also thinking of seeing Ready Player One.

Well the first game also didn't have much a plot, Didn't bother with a plot until the sequels.

Watched this today, it was fun! 👆

Enjoyed it too, Despite some of the changes

would've liked to have seen one of the animals climbing up the side of one of the buildings and reaching inside to eat person or anything for that matter.

I thought that pet Rat was going to be a plot point but I guess it wasn't.

Well the Rat is also a character in the games too

and yeah i thought it might'eve survived the space station explosion.

I mean the regular rat in the cage. People seemed to have an interest in it.

Alright, I will see it today.

I'm watching this Monday night... Building up hype!

This was definitively one movie that I needed to watch. Since the original Pacific Rim no monster film had me this swayed, I expected it to be good and it delivered entirely on this premise. It might just become one of my top 5 videogame-to-film adaptations (it'd be higher if Rampage was more of a videogame worthy of adaptation 😄 ). I want a sequel of some kind, heck make a tie in Videogame.

This is like a less dramatic War of the Gargantuas mixed up with a conventional 80s Godzilla movie (actually somewhat closer to IDW's Godzilla comics if you know those), so many tropes and homages to be found all over it. If you call yourself a kaiju fan you owe it to yourself to see his movie.

I rewatched this, the kids enjoyed it too, I think.

It's pretty good, clean fun.

Was there never any sequel talk? It did decently at the box office..

^^^No sequel talk I ever heard of. 🙁

I remember thinking if the Rock didn’t want to come back they could have done a The Fugitive/U.S. Marshalls deal and had Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s character star in the sequel.

He was ****ing awesome, and it would’ve been interesting to see what other “science shits the bed” situations the O.G.A. he worked for dealt with other than giant gorillas.

^ Good point. Yeah, he was good.

I don't see why The Rock wouldn't want to do another one, though. Motherf#cker has done some shitty movies since... **cough-junglecruise-cough**cough-blackadam-cough**

^^^ 😆

But yes, going back to Rampage wouldn’t be a step back for him.

Same w. the F&F series, but Vin done ****ed that one up.
