The TelegraphRobbie CollinApr 11, 2018
Keeps playing its two winning cards over and over again, and is smart enough to realise they are more than enough. The first is the giant animal carnage itself, which crackles with fun ideas and flourishes throughout. The second is the comic chemistry of a superbly picked cast who bring everyone in on the joke.

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleApr 12, 2018
What makes Rampage especially enjoyable is the way it sneaks up on the audience. Before casting off every shred of dignity and abandoning itself to good-humored excess, the movie passes itself off as a reasonably serious science-fiction movie. Read full review

The VergeTasha RobinsonApr 11, 2018
The filmmakers try to innovate largely by making the movie as toothless and easily digestable as possible. Nothing in the film is real enough to care about past the moment, or serious enough to trouble audience’s sleep. Maybe in a world that’s already full of real-life disasters, it’s innovative enough to make monumental destruction this much dumb, lightweight fun. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweApr 11, 2018
It takes some time for the action sequences to fully engage, but from about the movie’s midpoint, Peyton delivers a succession of staggering set pieces. Read full review

Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerApr 11, 2018
This crazy-gleeful adventure jumps between grisly and cartoonish. Read full review

The A.V. ClubA.A. Dowd Apr 11, 2018
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. Read full review

When Johnson is doing that movie action star thing he does so well and giant animals are going enormous-mano-a-enormous-mano, there’s undeniably goofy fun to be had. You just have to be patient during the downtime. Read full review

New York PostSara StewartApr 11, 2018
It’s big, bloated, and, if you give in to the familiar charms of its jacked leading man, not unenjoyable. (Alternately, you could easily just let it induce a little nap.) Read full review

Boston GlobeTom RussoApr 11, 2018
The engaging dynamic between our hero and his gargantuan, computer-generated pal is the movie’s best surprise, with silly and straight bits both working mostly as intended for director Brad Peyton (Johnson’s “Journey 2” and “San Andreas”). Read full review

The Seattle TimesMoira MacdonaldApr 11, 2018
Only two things need to be said about Rampage: It’s really terrible, and I enjoyed it immensely. Read full review

USA TodayBrian TruittApr 11, 2018
Per usual, Johnson is the key cog of a movie built for his physical presence, but it's the relationship between Davis and George that fuels the plot, even when everything around them gets convoluted and haphazard. Read full review
