I am surprised!

Rating: 7/10 (26 January 2012)

I am kind of surprised to see 7.7 as the avg rating to this movie where as I just saw "And Justice for All" with a mere 7.2 Rating! You have to be kidding me giving this movie a much higher rating than the Al Pacino movie. Surely it is the Rise of the planet of the apes because normal human beings would differentiate a good movie and an average one. Yes, when i started watching the Rise of the planet of the apes, i was kind of stuck to it.. It got my interest levels to focus on the movie, wait for what next is going to happen and it continued till the time the ape escapes the prison. But after that, what was that end all about. Did the director run out of idea as to how to end it. The apes go on a rampage, cannot be controlled, and they run into a jungle and start taking in English. And James Franco understands that its OK, so simply walks back. Thats it! If only this movie had a much better ending to it, it would have been a classic. Some fine performances by the actors (specially James), Frieda was OK-OK (she messed up with that kissing scene in the end as well), the harry porter guy didn't act any differently as he did in harry porter movies (maybe because he was given the same role of an angry arrogant boy here as well). Do watch it if you wish to, its got some really good moments as well, just the end messes it up!
