Review of Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) by Wordy_Actions — 19 Aug 2011
MINOR SPOILERS.
Surprisingly good. Andy Serkis gives an amazing performance as Caesar. The special effects are fantastic, and the apes in the movie are very believable. This movie could have easily been bad, but instead it's probably the best summer blockbuster of the year. The acting is all around good, with some exceptions (such as the one-dimensional human villains). James Franco gives a good performance but the stars of the movie are without a doubt the apes. The film is paced and directed well, and the movie builds a lot of tension towards the climax in which the apes escape. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for an entertaining and original summer movie.
