Third in the _Rampage_ franchise (and I suppose the final one?) and while it was entertaining, I found this one to be much more about the anti-establishment propaganda message than just the wanton violence of the original. It actually seemed, in this film, that Uwe Boll was actually trying to push some kind of agenda across…minus the random bloodshed, of course. To me, that sort of detracted from the original film's "beauty" of just a ruthless, unhinged, psychotic free-for-all. I mean, maybe this one hit too close to home to be comfortable because you know there really are some twisted minds out there (come on, who thought up THIS film?!) that have some sort of repressed urge to do the "Bill Williamson" thing and get away with it. It was easier - for some bizarre reason - to accept the original _Rampage_ film as just some "kid" who snapped and went off, whereas this one seemed far too politically motivated and anti-establishment to just sit back and laugh at all the killing. Some of what was espoused in this movie as "facts" may have had a ring of truth; some of it, in fact, may be the real truth: I've been reading a lot of biographies and history of America's "founding fathers" and found much of what "Bill" said in one of his many diatribes to be true (according to history...but who's to say that our printed history books are factual?) regarding the founding of this nation and how it was cultivated on slave labor, etc etc. All that aside, however, I was just hoping for another shooting spree sans all the anti-establishment, anti-God rhetoric. This was good, but it was too "preachy" to even compare to the cold-blooded anarchic tone of the original. Worth watching if you like the _Rampage_ movie (the first and second) and just want to finish the trilogy, but apart from that, it was just another _"Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out...wait, there's no God, so just kill 'em all anyway."_ movie.
