	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"What director Peyton lacks in artistic vision he compensates for in his ability to wrangle such a CG-intensive production"	NEU
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"There’s no denying Johnson’s abundant charisma and brawny brand of self-deprecating humor (...) [A] fairly mindless popcorn entertainment"	NEU
United States	A.A. Dowd AV Club	"Johnson’s singular charisma—his way with a one-liner, the built-in special effect of his unreal physique—grounds Rampage in a consistent personality, even as the tone veers wildly from broadly comic to selectively sentimental to casually horrifying."	NEU
United States	Jim Vejvoda IGN	"'Rampage' doesn’t really offer much of anything new (...) but it still checks all the boxes expected from it, offering one just enough entertainment value to not make you completely hate."	NEU
United States	Moira MacDonald Seattle Times	"Only two things need to be said about 'Rampage': It’s really terrible, and I enjoyed it immensely."	POS
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"The best video game movie ever (...) 'Rampage' is a solid, entertaining and relatively well-made action fantasy that works whether or not you've ever played the 1980's arcade game."	POS
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"'Rampage' is a drag (...) [It] is all pain and no gain (...) A terrible screenplay, credited to four writers and tonally all over the place (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Telegraph	"The script is boisterously funny, the action sequences have real flair and sweep, and the central human-primate friendship is even quite moving at points (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Emily Yoshida Vulture	"It’s trash, but it’s trash with context (...) It’s aggressively dumb"	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It is entertainingly over the top, although perhaps the CGI work isn’t quite out of the top drawer (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"This is throwaway popcorn entertainment (...) Thanks to Johnson’s ever-likeable, ever-monolithic screen persona and the film’s sense of its own ridiculousness, 'Rampage' retains a certain charm (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
