Let me start out by saying that I loved the old Rampage game when I was a kid. I was always a big fan of giant monsters, and when I first saw the arcade game at my local bowling alley I couldn't get enough of it. In the 90s, I think I wore out my Atari Lynx just by playing Rampage.
When I first heard about a Rampage movie starring the Rock my eyes were rolling
To be fair to the Rock, I think the guy has charm and is a decent actor, but almost every movie this guy is in ends up being lame. Judging by the trailer, my fears were correct. I mean it's not bad and I don't hate it, it just looks generic and lame. It doesn't feel like Rampage at all, you can just rename it "Attack of the Generic Monsters" and it wouldn't make any difference. If they are going to make a generic giant monster movie, why name it Rampage when it has nothing to do with Rampage? Even "Rampage of the Monsters" would've worked for me lol.
I don't mean to bash the movie based on one trailer, I may end up really liking the movie. Who knows. But I'm not too crazy about what I see so far. We'll see...
