So, I know Uwe Boll is famous for making wretched movies but of late his stuff is actually much better.
If you considered TDKR gold, then surely Uwe Boll is also a great movie maker
Now, Rampage 1 was a pretty good movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was bold, shocking and actually quite well done and believable.
Is this part 2 like that?
I found it exactly like that, and enjoyed it very much. It has great continuity IMO.

I thought the first one was watchable (definitely one of Uwe Boll's better films), but I thought this one was absolute garbage.
FAR too preachy, aimless, cheap and soulless, and the writing is just laughable. To the point that the film repeatedly invalidates itself and the message it's trying to hammer in. (Kinda hard to take the message seriously when the character delivering said message spends an entire prolonged scene ranting about the evils of freakin' yoga of all things, and uses it as a tenuous excuse to commit violence against an innocent woman...)
It's also incredibly padded to the point of being laughable. It feels like a 15-minute short film that was stretched into a 90-minute feature. Constant flashbacks to the first film in order to pad out the running time and a slew of pointless scenes that don't go anywhere or contribute anything to the narrative. (including a prolonged scene in which a character is given a DVD, accidentally breaks it a minute later, then has to go back and ask for another one... it's a pointless scene that's only there to add about 5 minutes. There are a lot of scenes like that.) Out of the entire running length, I would say that only about 15 minutes of footage is necessary to the narrative or character development- the rest is just shoehorned padding scenes and flashbacks.
To me, the film is clearly just a cheap cash-grab after the original attained some mild cult success. The original said everything that needed to be said. This one is just a cheap, padded, aimless regurgitation that frequently invalidates its own message. All just to make a quick-buck for Uwe Boll.
And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?
I agree with you. I just switched the film off after 40 minutes, the messages it wants to deliver are just completely far fetched and yes, the film is extremely preachy. The yoga scene is completely ridiculous. The scene with the homeless people also. So far, not a single intelligent point was made, it was all pseudo-philosophical *beep* that had no value at all. Which is a pity, because I really liked the first one. And I never was a Boll hater, I quite enjoy some of his films. But this made me rethink my view on his intellect. Strange film.
shareFirst was good,but I thought this one was better
You want tah fack wit me? You ah fACKING chioah boi compahed tu me ah chioah boi
The first one was very good, this one is "just" good... Definitly worth seeing if you're a fan of the first one, could have done with a couple of the flashbacks but Brendan Fletcher is outstanding
The first one had improvised dialogue, in this one I think everything is pre-written, if it isn't Brendan Fletcher is even more outstanding than I thought he was
I'm gonna refuse you an offer you can't make
I liked both but part one is better.
