A Great Surprise

Rating: 8/10 (9 September 2011)

At first I didn't know what to expect from this film when it was announced. But after watching it I was thrilled. In my opinion this movie couldn't have been done better, to be honest I liked the version from Tim Burton but it just didn't accomplish, recently there has been this boom on remakes or reboots and that simply states the obvious "Hollywood is in crisis" they simply can't find new ideas that can bring money into the industry, it's easier to make a remake o reboot of a blockbuster even if it's been done recently (Spiderman)
But this movie really goes beyond a simple remake/reboot. You obviously can assume what's gonna happen at the end but the story is really really good, other than King Kong there is no other movie that I can think of that has made me feel more clearly what the animal is thinking and feeling. Brilliantly done. The CGI is quite obvious but it's nicely done and even though the apes are noticeably CGI you don't even care.
Brilliantly brilliantly done, even the credits at the end as simple as they are they tell a story that really helps for the beginning of the sequel. You'll know what I mean when you see it. Don't miss this one, you won't regret seeing it. Enyoy
