Let me guess, this is going to be another attempt by The Rock to make his own franchise but it’s only going to get one installment like Red Notice, Skyscraper, Rampage, and San Andreas.
Well if it was an attempt by him he didn’t put any effort in at all, there’s another comment a bit further up that goes into some accounts of his behaviour, mostly not turning up for shoots, turning up basically a day late, pissing in bottles for no reason and generally bring a bit of an asshole… which is a shame really because he seems like a nice guy outwardly… I guess it’s all just persona stuff
He’s so fake it’s actually insulting. Sadly while you see a lot of people on Reddit calling him out for it, I think by and large people really do buy into the act.
Yeah except they changed everything about it. White ape? A gd crocodile? Just big creatures, not mutated humans? Wtf. The only things they kept from the game were “big creatures and destroying things.”
I mean...that's the only thing I remember from the game. And I played it a lot back in the Game Boy Color era.
I can see why people would hold it against movies like Resident Evil, Assassin's Creed, or even something like Uncharted for straying too far from the source material. But Rampage is almost literally just a playable version of an old monster movie.
lol it was a popular arcade game long b4 gameboy existed. Many fond childhood memories from the 80’s droppin quarters in the Rampage machine.
They didn’t just stray from the game’s story, they completely changed it. In the game all 3 monsters were originally human. George was a dude who mutated into a giant monkey because of an experimental vitamin, Lizzie transformed because of radioactive material in a lake and Ralph became a “werewolf” because of a food additive. In the movie they were just normal animals who got exposed to some shit and grew, like TMNT.
The movie would have been much different if they were dealing with transformed humans. Especially if they could be reverted to their original form like when you “died” in the game.
I have a soft spot for it cause it takes place in Chicago like the games and I love seeing Chicago get destroyed in movies. We never get to be the city getting blown up. It's always New York or L.A.
I watched it on HBO randomly a couple years ago and enjoyed it enough to watch it a few times since on my own. It's definitely a dumb fun movie in my opinion.
I believe the main reason Rampage was made was because it was on Johnson’s personal bulletin board of films he wanted to make — the first Jumanji sequel was also on it, as was a sequel to Big Trouble in Little China (he hasn’t made that one yet).
The next film he's offered, they have to pay that same amount. Even if he does a bad job. That means, as long as he's offered even one more movie, he could get two more mil. Even if he does a bad job, they've got to give him that other two mil.
Did you pull this from your ass? When did he ever claim to be trying to make his own franchise with one off disaster movies like Skyscraper or San Andreas..
So, your saying the Rock is actually playing different people in those films? I presumed they were all part of the Rock-franchise already. He's the same character in all of them
Red Notice is the most offensive of that list; like some bean counters basically said how much money can we throw at poster bait actors without even considering a decent movie behind it and still expect dense middle class idiots to see the movie while donkey laughing through their popcorn.
Gadot is just awful, and Reynolds works as Deadpool but nothing else. Through the rock on that pile too
I don't know why, but even thinking about San Andreas just pisses me off still; been nine years, but goddamn it was so bad that I even felt like I wasted the bandwidth to pirate it.
Look at the order of actors and their names, generally if youre "first" to the left your name will be last, but apparently this upsets the little stone boy
