Son of Amicus missed out on
Pacific Rim 2, so I took him to see
Rampage this weekend to make up for it. The result was one of the most purely entertainingly stupid films I've seen in ages - the plotting is perfunctory, the dialogue is exposition-masquerading-as-conversation (especially true of the corporate sibling baddies - much of which hints at subplots excised during rewrites) - but the gleeful ludicrousness of it all is something to behold. The most convincing character in the film is George, the friendly CGI Albino gorilla that gets infected with the PLOT DEVICE SCIENCE THING - although Jeffrey Dean Morgan playing Negan-doing-an-impersonation-of-Tommy Lee Jones is fun - and there is one moment near the end which was genuinely surprising:
To cure George, our heroes drop the vaccine in the villainess's handbag, then make sure she gets eaten by the now huge, unfriendly CGI Gorilla
Frankly, it's Jurassic World's delinquent younger brother - not good for you, but much cooler.
