    I'm a big fan of the entire series, minus the 2001 movie which was horrible. I thought Rise was very good. (4.5 out of 5). The references to the original movie were great and had me chuckling to myself.

    I'd say if you're a fan it's a must see.

    Check the Movie Thread. Few comments about 'Rise'.

    I loved the movie, thought it was one of the best films made in recent years. I don't think someone needs to be a fan of the originals to love or understand 'Rise' rather have a good/decent grasp on 'life' and the 'nature of man'. That should be enough for someone to really get into the movie.

    I never can comprehend
    why even fans of the franchise seem to have
    so much hate on for Tim Burton's 2001 film.
    Granted, I'm a sucker for ANYTHING with
    Helena Bonham Carter!
    Anyways, I look forward to 'Rise,'
    but I reckon I'll wait for the DVD.
    Cheers.

    I watched a fairly decent copy last night. The only thing that was a bit annoying was it had dutch subtitles on the screen for the whole movie. But the film was in English and such. but it got a bit distracting at times, and there was one or two small parts that the ape signed and an English subtitle came up but it was cover by the Dutch.


    As for the movie I thought it was great, but like someone else said I was watching and it was kinda not going anywhere and I realised there was like half an hour left and I was thinking they better wrap this up quick, and they did. The last 15-20 minutes was the most monkey breaking shit type action the rest was setting up to that. But it does look like there will be some sort of sequel.
    condescending and sarcastic since 1980

    I thought it was a great movie!

    As a fan of the Ape movies I quite enjoyed watching Rise.

    Could of been a tad more action though.

    Saw it at the drive in last night. Was really good.

    The actor that was Gollum in LOTR played Caesar.

    Lots of good laughs in it.
  • LikeAnOceanLikeAnOcean Posts: 7,718
    It's one of the better movies I've seen in a long time. I really liked the evolution of Cesar and his rise to being a leader. I was rooting for the apes to win the whole time.

    Saw it yesterday - great flick. Made me wish I was a chimpanzee.
    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    :lol:

    while discussing the new movie with my father last week and whether i would see it or not, i told him how the originals made me want to be a chimpanzee. he replied,is that right? clearly thinking he has a weirdo for a daughter.


    saw 'rise' and i thought it was great. i loved the 'battle' scene on the bridge and i loved caesars frustration... and gosh i hope tom felton doesnt get typecast as an arsehole for the rest of his career... with this and harry pothead, its a possibility. anyhoo....

    ... i also liked how it set up the annihiliation of the human race.

    i enjoyed it very much. Thought it was cool that they filmed it in San Fran since i was just there a few days ago. Even more cooler that they filmed part of it in Muir Woods which I was also at :) Obviously there will be a sequel. I kinda feel bad for Tom Felton. He is not gonna get cast for anyone "good", First Draco and now this "a-hole"

    a lot better than i thought it was gonna be, but you can probably wait and rent it

    some of it was a little / very cheesy

    SPOILER ALERT


    Especially when harry potter kid said heston's line... and caesar's last line

    Great scene! me too! I think most people in the audience gasped loudly at that part. It was crazy! Love the movie,

    Jurassic Park is a classic for sure!..But I think they messed up on the sequels big time.

    I didn't think that line was cheesy at all.. Had it not been in the original, no one would even have noticed. It fit.


    I really hope we get at least two more quality films out of this. I don't know what is planned, but I think a trilogy is in order..

    Rise of Planet of the Apes
    Planet of the Apes?
    Fall of Planet of the Apes??
