Rampage has a lot going for it between Dwayne Johnson’s star power and the nostalgia for the original games, but it will undoubtedly prove intriguing to see how it can perform against bonafide icons like Godzilla (who is quite literally King of the Monsters) and King Kong.
It will also be interesting to see how Rampage fares, when we consider the sheer amount of monster movies that are currently on the horizon.
Dwayne Johnson has obviously developed a reputation as “franchise Viagra” during his time as a movie star, so if anyone has a chance to make Rampage a hit, it is him.
The kaiju genre has experienced a massive resurgence in recent years with films like Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, and the Pacific Rim franchise, and it is only going to get more crowded.
