And I wasn't expecting much! I saw the trailer in the cinema and thought it looked a bit dumb, but I love Dwayne Johnson, so it might be fun. Then I found out it was based on a video game, so my expectations lowered even more.
It started out pretty good, with a nice twist that the evil, mad scientist/greedy corporate "dude" was a woman (sadly played as a one-note character!).
The chemistry between Johnson and George (the big gorilla) is great, but that's about all that is good about the film.
There are some cool shots of Chicago and it was nice to see a different city getting destroyed as it's always NYC, LA or San Francisco!
Was really sad to see Joe Manganiello killed off at the very beginning, as I was hoping for some scenes with him and Johnson.
Good time-waster for young teen boys and that's about it.
