Look, Rampage knows exactly what it is: a big dumb action movie based on an arcade game where you punch buildings. The problem is it's not even particularly fun at being big and dumb.

The Rock does his best to inject heart into the human-gorilla friendship, and there are moments where that almost works. But they're drowned out by endless CGI destruction that grows numbing rather than exciting. The villains are laughably evil, the science is absurd even for sci-fi, and the plot is utterly predictable.

Critically, it's mediocre (51% on RT, 45 on Metacritic), and that feels about right. It's not offensively bad, just aggressively forgettable. If your tween is begging to watch it because giant monsters, fine—but know you're signing up for two hours of noise and rubble with minimal payoff.

There are better action movies (any Marvel film), better animal movies (literally dozens), and better video game adaptations (okay, that's a low bar). Rampage exists, you'll watch it, you'll forget it. That's the whole experience.
