So you’re telling me Dwayne Johnson is going to fight a giant ape, wolf and crocodile? Sign me up
People we have a new king of the jungle and it’s this giant ape George. Look out, we might have a new front runner for best movie adapted from a video game! Yeah I know, it was only the first teaser trailer, but Rampage starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson looks like a A TON OF FUN. Seriously though, let’s not take this thing too seriously here, it’s about giant mutated animals running wild around the streets of Chicago. But if I know one thing, Dwayne Johnson movies work like 60% of the time and this is one of those times. Based off the Rampage the 80’s arcade game, it looks like we will have a highly entertaining summer movie on our hands.
From the same director (Brad Peyton) who did San Andreas along with Dwayne, I actually really like that movie. It was a fun summer blockbuster, it looked pretty fantastic, so instead of an earthquake, you’re replacing it with giant animals? Just take my money now Warner Brothers. I know he has a tendency to do kind of the same movie over and over again, like world ending, disaster, destruction, cheesy popcorn flicks, but it suits him. That’s what The Rock does best in my opinion and Rampage looks and feels no different. Everyone here seems to be having fun, the cast is really good, with Naomi Harris (James Bond Girl), who is just excellent and so lovely. We got Jeffrey Dean Morgan doing well Jeffrey Dean Morgan things, its Negan without the baseball bat. I actually hope the trailer didn’t ruin his apparent death in the movie? Because I want as much JDM in Rampage as humanly possible. Finally we have Joe Manganiello (Magic Mike) who is so badass and awesome, and I’m so excited to see him side by side with The Rock.
You can’t sit there and tell me you weren’t a little entertained by the trailer? I’m not picky when it comes to movies and like I said, this will be just another mind numbing summer blockbuster, that you see on the big screen, have a good time doing so, and then never watch the movie again. Sometimes that’s what movies are all about, and for me, this looks like it will be a wild ride.
