Mislead

Rating: 4/10 (3 November 2013)

The trailers for Rise of the Planet of the Apes made audiences believe the film was more so an action film with a slight developmental story, but what we saw was more of a character study sap story of the history of apes. Personally I did not find the story too interesting as I think it could have been much better. We were shown to more drama and depressing moments than I had thought. Having not seen the originals, perhaps my expectations were slightly off. James Franco character is dull with not much emotion which did not make the audience not seem to care. Although he does well in some scenes (most specifically the scenes where he sees his ape for the first time coming to rescue him). It was also quite silly with folded CGI. Perhaps another viewing of this film might change my mind.
