Summer Blockbuster though not without brains !!!

Rating: 7/10 (13 August 2011)

Once the summer season starts, I always start dreading the onslaught of sloppy flicks,big big budgeted thoroughly lackluster stuff on offer. This year barring, the X- Men prequel, Thor and Captain America has been no different. Even the must trumpeted final installment of Harry Potter is nothing great. I was quite skeptical about this movie too. James Franco, post the Oscar awards poor show and his statements that he was not sure of this movie, did not help.
But I was surprised, it is a well done movie, even though the ending does appear to be rushed. The plot is well written and the actors have performed a decent job. Even Tom "Draco Malfroy" Felton does a menacing part. Though the scene stealer here is Andy Serkis, he is so much involved that you end up sympathizing with the apes. I will not reveal anything more. See it for yourself and enjoy.
The writers of this movie have a trilogy in mind, well I am not complaining. Bring it on.
