Rampage Was Still Much Better Than Doom
Critically & Commercially
Despite both films make Rotten scores on Rotten Tomatoes , Rampageis still much skilful thanDoom . WhileRampagedoes have its problem , with things like the story and character reference being suave , it managed to be a successful activity picture show . The giant kaiju fights all solve implausibly well , with it being some of the good American kaiju action outside of Legendary ’s MonsterVerse . On top of that , Rampagehas some marvellous CGI , with it really bringing the three monsters from the video game to life .
Meanwhile , there arevery few redeem caliber about the 2005Doommovie . out-of-door ofDoom ’s surprisingly star - studded stamp , which features The Rock , Karl Urban , Rosamund Pike , and others , middling much every scene ofDoomwas received negatively . The dialogue and story are vapid and derivative , and the action feels lacklustre in comparison to the video games . Doomis closer to its video biz opposite number thanRampagemovies , but when judging them as films , Rampageis far superior .
Dwayne " The Rock " Johnson and Kevin Hart have become an unbelievable comic twofold human activity in recent years , and here ’s their movies rank risky to best .
Based loosely on the video game series of the same name, Rampage stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Davis Okoye, a former Special Forces soldier and primatologist. When a gorilla that Okoye is working with, George, is exposed to an experimental pathogen, he grows much larger and more aggressive.

The video recording secret plan moving-picture show curse was a longstanding pattern that existed while The Rock was making his movies , with thevideo biz movie jinx not being brokenuntil the release of project likeDetective PikachuandSonic the Hedgehogin 2019 and 2020.Doomwas a dupe of this curse , with the pic being afraid to lean into the elements of what made the source material not bad .
Meanwhile , Rampagewas hardly a television game movie , with the flick not really acknowledging its root at all . Instead , the film simply took the assumption of the game and turn it into a film , leaving fan of the games wanting more . There are still plenty of television game version that The Rock could star in , whether he is in live - action or articulation act , and many of these could finally be the proper video game movie thatDoomandRampageweren’t .
