A bland, predictable, summer blockbuster movie, without a decent antagonist - protagonist setting to sympathize with.

Rating: 5/10 (29 July 2012)

Here's what is wrong with this one: 1) The protagonist; Personally I did not find main protagonist (I guess it was supposed to be Caesar?) at all sympathetic nor inspiring. Mainly bland. 2) The antagonist(s); The Human race? The repressive, and badly acted zookeeper(s) (I'm looking at Mr. "I just ate a lemon" Felton). Or were the apes supposed to be the antagonists here? 3) The script; Generic, uninspired, forgetful... very predictable altogether. 4) The CGI; Should have and could have been better. Even Serkis disappointed this time.
On the positive side; 1) The performance by John Lithgow as demented father of our . 2) Tried so hard to be scientifically witty... but failed.
The movie just made me want to yell out loud "Oh c'mon!". Which I did. Several times.
