    I read the synopsis for Rampage expecting a goofy movie about people turning into Kaiju and smashing up a city and all I got was an adaptation of the video game Hatred.

      Yeah it’s uhhh

      It’s just not fun and really depressing to watch. It has none of his low budget charm and crude humor. It’s just a guy in a small town putting on some plate mail and gunning down random people he sees in town. Vast majority of them don’t deserve it. We’re given no reason to be sympathetic to him, he has no discernible cause or message until like the 2nd or 3rd movie where his ideology is just eco-fascism and population control. Funnily enough, Rampage is like the only well-reviewed film by Uwe Boll from western critics. Says a lot I think.
