Rampage (2018)
Okay...so the opening was cool...but then the film slipped
into a slow burn as we waited for all three "Mutant" animals
to arrive in Chicago. The destruction & action scenes at the
end are pretty awesome with some incredibly surreal moments...
(WTF?! How is it possible that animal can climb that building?)
but it can seem like a long wait just to get to the fun bits.
There was a cool "forest" scene earlier in the film...but its
only short & seemed like a missed opportunity to give one
of the animals more screen time.
I have to admit there was a part of the film that reminded
me of the 9/11 World Trade Center terror attacks...but I
guess that doesn't matter anymore?
I'm not sure...American members...tell me how this
scene makes you feel.You will
know the scene I'm
talking about when you see it.
Now the human characters were pretty bland...as was
George the Gorilla...but the real stars of this show were
Ralph the Wolf & Lizzie the Alligator.
Their designs were amazing & even though they were
CGI they had a real presence on screen easily rivaling
the kaiju from the original Pacific Rim with their roars
& body movement.
Its just a stupid popcorn disaster flick with some giant
animals wrecking shit.
I give it 3 Giant Armored Alligators out of 5...
