I have never been more happier watching a movie than watching this. This brilliant piece of work was able to cleanse my memory of that god awful abortion on film that Tim Burton put out with Marky Mark.
Ever since I saw the original series in the late 70's I have been a fan of this franchise, and when I heard the were initially bringing it back in 2001 with Tim Burton at the helm, it took every fibre of my being not to throw up in the theatre, this however was not the Burton travesty, this was the origin story that the Planet of the Apes series needed.
Watching Caesar grow up in the house, then in the ape sanctuary was phenomenal. I probably could have done without Draco Malfoy uttering the immortal lines "Take your stinking paws off me you damned dirty ape", but witnessing Caesar take his place in control of all the apes, was worth it.
If you are a fan of the genre, or if you haven't seen the originals, this is the movie you want to start with, and sit back to enjoy the ride, follow Caesar as he becomes the leader of the new world.
