an unexpected TRIUMPH

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2011)

i am not the hugest fan of planet of the apes. i have not seen the original series, i have only seen the 2001 remake with Mark wahlberg. i enjoyed it yet thought it was corny.
i was expecting the same thing with this film and also did not understand how it could be a prequel to the one before as in the 2001 version it was set in a different universe. this one is set in present day and shows how the apes rose and the humans died out. it was smart how they introduced the original quotations and plots like "take you-re stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape' and how the human race died out by the medicine but not by the apes.
i was not expecting much but when i saw this film i LOVED it from start to finish. it wasn't a blockbuster action, and other s are disappointed there is not much action, but this isn't called the war of the apes its called the rise of the apes. it shows how apes see a different side of humans and how each has other personalities. it also shows how animal cruelty is wrong.
this also surprised me that this wasn't a gore-fest. it only showed the apes kill 3 people. one was the humans fault the others was deserved and the other happened randomly.
i could write forever about this but i must end with this. SEE IT. you will love it.
