painfully mediocre. not even so bad it's good.

And The Rock making an action movie with a prosthetic leg and never using it to climb up a building and saying “now that’s what I call a leg up” or burying it in someone’s skull and saying “he got a leg ahead” is a crime against cinema.

Eh, I got no sympathy. Go to see a crap fest, and you're likely to see a crap fest :)

On a positive note, this movie was much better than Skyscraper, staring Anna Nicole Smith...

LOL. I would've liked to have seen him beat the bad guy with his leg and say, " I've got a femur and the only cure is more beat-down."

I liked Rampage too, but they missed a GREAT opportunity to make that movie even more ridiculous in the third act. After he got shot, they injected him with the syrum... that should have happened at the mid-point and by the third act, he should have been MEGA-ROCK, standing side by side with George and start kicking ass together as monsters.
