Audacious, violent and disquieting, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is a summer sequel that's better than it has any right to be.
Up there with some of the best franchise reboots; anyone seeing it, whether they're a fan of the previous movies or not, will leave it hoping it does well enough to warrant more.
... a smart and grown-up science-fiction thriller that honors the name it carries. This suggests a world I'd want to see more of, and it raises exciting storytelling questions that I hope Fox will answer
It's a fantastic reboot of the franchise; warm, thrilling, and exceedingly human.
11 reviews, 10 positive. 7.5/10 average.

No fucking way. No fucking way. Those trailers are terrible. I refuse to believe that shit.
-
Didn't they already do a reboot of this once?
-
Clichéd shots being used in trailers? NO WAY?! :o
-
This is one of those remakes I refuse to believe exists because the originals were so great. Just like Transformers
Even my manlove for James Franco can't get me excited

It's not a remake, it's a prequel.

isn't this a remake of Conquest of the apes?

Don't make post the AP review, PD! :maf
Oh...wait...here it is:
This seventh film in the Planet of the Apes series rises to such ridiculous heights, it's impossible not to laugh out loud -- in a good way, in appreciation.

The trailer was lol-worthy but the commercials have been warming me up to it. I expected it to get 70%-ish, now it looks like it might be more, nice.

I really really want netflix to put Planet of the Apes movies on instant stream.

Somehow I think Transformers has lowered the bar for movies.

That's certainly possible.

I'll make you a deal, Hollywood. You give me a 25-30 min cut of the movie that is just the monkeys fucking shit up with none of the lame attempts to have a narrative or be a movie, and I will pay you $8 to see that shit.

I really liked this

watched this today after two pizzas and a bucket of beer. thoroughly entertained. didn't pay for my ticket though, so all I wasted was time. :pimp
-
saw it last night, incredible film. 9/10
-
Movie was good for what it is. Liked it, but wouldn't watch it again.
-
I saw it. The way the obligatory use of "get your paws off me, you damn dirty ape!" was the best thing about the movie.
