The story is about Caesar and the Apes

Rating: 9/10 (3 September 2011)

This is really an excellent film. I would have given it a 10 rating if it was not for the plain vanilla, lazy performance of James Franco. He put about as much effort into it as he did for hosting the Oscars this year. I guess he gets by on his looks because he is so lame. But this story revolves around Caesar and all the other Apes and it is extremely well done, the apes have great empathy, there is some gentle humour and the excellent special effects truly enhance the film rather than distract from it. Good performance by John Lithgow, too bad Franco does not learn from a truly distinguished actor. Any way see this movie it's great.
