It's not all that !

Rating: 5/10 (22 August 2011)

Spoilers? I just seen this film and was disappointed in it, the story was OK but slow and boring to me, I thought there would be more action scenes then the few that were shown and I simply expected more from such a big budget film, the CGI was excellent and better than others I have seen but I am no CGI fan anyway. The acting was really outstanding, James Franco was good and will be liked by fans of his, but beware this is nothing like the original films if you are comparing the stories. The film sets up where and how it all started with the apes and does nothing else, there was to much about personal stories and feeling sorry for the apes and not enough about anything else. My girlfriend loved it while I thought it was slightly below average, then again I am a huge original Planet of the Apes fan and she is simply a movie goer who loved the CGI apes. So to each their own just don't expect to much until the sequel which I am sure isn't far behind.
