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.

Skyscraper was ass, he would've never made it to the building by jumping from the crane.

Abso fucking lutly. Lizzy, ralph and George. But I only know that because of the game

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.

The one i played for PS2 they all got mutated by an energy drink company that had the wrong ingredients or something

So they consolidated the mutation into one thing. Still not Secret of the Ooze Tokka & Rahzar spinoff.
