Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Oh, wow, the best in the series so far! The visual effects are ground-breaking! The story is good, the acting is believable, and the music is great. All round an incredible production! The film also deals with so many emotions and real-life dramatic elements, all combined into an amazing film.
Rise Of The Planet Of The ApesA solid start offering gripping screenplay, some tight action and well developed characters Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes is a gift especially by Andy Serkis.
By the end of his eight year presidency the ape-man president dramatically rose triumphant.... just managing to come through for his faithful, fellow gay & transgender ape-man. He truly is the great one - a regular neo! Um yeah, the gay monkey's are crawling over & infesting (like a hostile ant species) practically every; once unphucked place on earth (including the shower's of the girl's changing room at high school's all across America) .... "aint it cool", as the scientologist chimpanzee gaylord would say. Uh what else, oh yeah babooncare....
Rise of the Planet of the Apes starts and stops with the emotional-motion capture acting ability of Andy Serkis. He's a master of his trade, a pleasure to watch and what he does with the Caesar character is Oscar worthy, if it was legal to nominate him. He's the heart and soul of the film, and without him, the movie wouldn't be the same.I'm amazed how the apes look. It's a wonderful combination of special effects and motion capture. I love the growth in Caesar's personality, the boss daddy pimpness of Maurice and the bad assness of Koba. The action scenes with the apes are as thrilling as they come.For some strange reason, James Franco doesn't appear stoned or ready to cut off his arm. This is the soberest I've seen him. He's very likable, and his story arc makes sense. To me, he's one of the few humans with any depth. His girlfriend is just there. The bad people act like bad guys. John Lithgow is cool as Franco's Alzheimer's suffering father, but his development is predictable.I like how this movie doesn't wear out its welcome. A lot of times, origin stories tend to be overlong. I believe the runtime is just right, and does just enough, to set up the next film.
