Never have I seen a movie I've hated more.

Rating: 1/10 (30 March 2015)

I can't quite put my finger on why I hate this movie so much, perhaps it's because I had heard before I watched it that it's the best one since the original. Wrong. I have endured all of the Apes films and this is by far the worst one, people will disagree and they're entitled to think what they think. It's not fun to watch like all of the others even the Tim Burton from 2001 was more entertaining in an odd sort of way. The performances are poor from everybody, but the new Caesar played (sort of) by Andy Serkis comes across as an expletive I won't put here. You don't feel any warmth towards the chimp, you just want somebody to put a bullet through him and end it early.
The science behind the film is just daft and the special effects look a bit off despite the fact most of the films budget went on this. I can see why others will watch this and enjoy the sequel, which even I don't think I can bring myself round to watching, and I like watching goofy rubbish.
