A pleasant surprise!

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2011)

I wasn't expecting much from this film but I was proved wrong. The story is fantastic showing how the apes begin to rise! There are lots of respects shown to the original film as well. The effect are fantastic and Andy serkis plays Cesar perfectly which wasn't surprising given his past performances. The thing I really like about the film is they didn't over use anything. For example when Cesar speaks he doesn't really say much through the film. Also the action isn't over the top which suits the film. James Franco was fantastic as was John lithgow. All in all there is fantastic acting accompanied with great effects and a great story line. A worthy instalment to the Planet Of The Apes films.
