Pleasant Surprise
I spent a lot of quarters in the arcade on the game Rampage. When I saw it was going to be a movie, of course I am going to go and see it. I really liked the way they did the story. While this movie wasn't the best, I still enjoyed it very much. Dwayne Johnson delivers another good performance. The main antagonist were hard to take seriously. I felt the strike team was more ominous than they were. If you loved the game like I did and looking for a good time, you will enjoy this movie.

I like Darth Vader before seeing this one, but isn't he AMAZING! I know you're not supposed to like the villain, but we know pretty much everybody just loves Vader. The atmosphere of this movie is definitely more ominous, as it should be. The story is darker, it draws you into this building conflict that you're just waiting for someone to make the first strike (even when you've seen it umpteen times!). Many fans claim this as their favorite of the films, but I can't separate any of the original titles. I truly enjoy them as a full presentation, just with breaks in between each story segment. Empire Strikes Back is of course darker, but no less enjoyable for the whole family.

This wasn't bad at all, in my opinion. More of the same as the first two films - that is to say, a big action movie with lots going on. Was the plot semi-ridiculous? Sure, although the plot point that had Gerard Butler's aging Mike Banning popping pills and receiving ominous warnings from his doctor about his physical condition seemed very apropos (art imitating life, perhaps?). I pretty much got exactly what I expected to get from this movie: a decent action movie for a Friday night date-night-on-the-couch.
The hidden jewel of this film for me was Nick Nolte as Banning's estranged father - believable and relatable, and he had some truly great lines.
