I think it says a lot about modern society that when I watch a film like 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' I am almost 100% on the ape's side. There is a character in this movie called 'Dodge' played by Tom Felton who may across a little unrealistic and overplayed to some. However let me assure you that there are more people like him in this world than it bears thinking about. At times we can be a truly despicable race that I am utterly ashamed of. This is touched on lightly in the film, but perhaps not heavily enough.This is a quite incredible movie. It took me a long time to get around to seeing it because I wasn't a particularly big fan of the original 'Planet of the Apes' movie, nor the remake. They didn't do much for me. This was a very different type of film. I tend to love origin stories. The way the character of 'Caesar' is handled in this film is incredible. I love that we see every stage of his development, and no matter what stage he is at or what he is doing at that time, we are on his side.The animation in the film is nothing short of brilliant either. I can't speak highly enough about the class it was handled with. The story works, and it leaves you wanting more (if I had seen this when it initially came out I would've been upset I had to wait 3 years to see the sequel). If you haven't seen this movie yet like I hadn't I recommend you get around to doing so.

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.

Can't believe the IMDb bozos who have given this one star? Were they watching the same movie as I? Totally gripping from start to finish, with depth, brilliant acting, convincing CGI and edge of your seat sequences, one after the other. A brilliant ending to a brilliant trilogy.

After the classic 1968 saga Planet of the Apes lived up and down, had some good movies, but unfortunately the majority was well median down, in 2001 had a failed attempt to reboot with the film of Tim Burton, and 10 years I think it's a good idea to have one of the best characters of the decade. (He appeared in the old ones too, but he did not like it.) Are not the same character), the cast is very well chosen, James Franco does a great acting, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, Brian Cox are all well, but who steals the scene is Andy Serkis as Ceasar, the CGI of the film is impeccable , And Andy Serkis does a great job on the move, Rupert Wyatt's direction is very good, he's sorry for him after that movie, the plot is well closed, even with some unnecessary moments, Rise of the Planet of the Apes It was a start Very promising for this modern saga of this great story.
