7/10
Not quite as good as the first one but good enough

Uwe Boll returns to make a sequel to the 2009 movie Rampage which I thought was pretty ace.

Brendan Fletcher is as if made for the character he's playing, incredibly convincing as the intelligent sociopathic mass-murderer that we hate to love, his intensity never lets go of the screen and you really believe that he means every word he says.

There are a couple things that I'm not sure was the right thing to do which are: having so many flashbacks from the first film, it's just something I don't like to see in a sequel, if you didn't see the first one then tough luck and a lot of it wasn't really necessary either.

But I've seen worse examples of flashback-scenes in other movies, at least they were all fairly short.

And Uwe Boll decides to cast himself as a movie-producer which is a bit questionable considering that he's not that great of an actor exactly.

The dialogue is a little stronger in this one, I know that in the first one most of the dialogue was improvised (which worked better than you might think) but I think in this one most of the dialogue if not all is pre-written if it isn't they did a fantastic job, either way the dialogue is good and makes you think.

But overall it was fairly enjoyable, I would rate it a 6.5/10 rounded up to a 7; pretty good but not amazing, however if you liked the first one of course you should watch this as well.
