Take a leap, enjoy The Rise.

Rating: Null/10 (8 August 2011)

This is a great movie if you just let go of all the illogical happenings and take the leaps the film is asking you to take. Just go with it. Don't ask questions about the plot holes. Ignore those. Enjoy the special effects and accept it as the action movie it turns out to be. There's a lot of build up but you'll see where the movie is going once you get to the end. There's one aspect about an hour and some change in that makes everything get REALLY dumb but get over that, quickly. Because it happens again and anyway, there's more goodness than dumbness. Also, there is a short cut-scene after the first couple seconds of end credits so stay put. This is definitely "the Rise" and I'm kinda looking forward to the next one. I became a fan of Caesar, the protagonist ape by the time it was all over. And it's as good, if not better, than expected. So go see.
