The Big Money Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 http://www.mediamarketjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/rise-of-the-planet-of-the-apes-200x150.jpg This movie looks pretty good even though it seems like it might be like the 2001 film. The other ones were good, even though the original one was a bit cheesy looking. I'm going to see it this Saturday. Anybody else here seen/ want to see it?

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I loved the originals so much, even as they got dafter and jumping sharks for fun, I can't bring myself to watch the remakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB Connector Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I saw it on Tuesday. It's better than this year's superhero movies. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 The original film, with Charlton Heston, was not cheesy. It was ahead of its time. Good satire, award-winning makeup , and a massively poignant ending. The sequels, however, were mostly pretty bad. The remake totally stunk, IMO. I've read good reviews of Rise. It's supposed to be quite violent, so it's not for little kids. I plan on seeing it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umoveme Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I Thought it was a little better than "ok." I was entertained and interested. It's worth a trip to the movies, but I enjoyed Cowboys vs. Aliens and C America more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Necromancer_77 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 The commercials for this looked so damn cheezy. It was almost painful to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the original had what is quite possibly the greatest twist ending in the history of Hollywood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 The originals are where it's at. This new film, like the Tim Burton one, is just curiosity. And it's only a curiosity because of the originals. It'll be forgotten in a year or two. Maybe I'll watch it in a year or two, when everyone's forgotten it, see what's what...

pedro2112 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I enjoyed the movie. I do recommend that those interested see it, but it can wait for cable/rental. Nothing special about it on the big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 QUOTE (Khan @ Aug 15 2011, 02:45 PM) Wait for Redbox.... Love the Apes series...but will wait as well. Way too much CGI for my taste... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 The only thing I know about this new version is that it has Andy Serkis (LOTR) and Tom Felton (Draco from Harry Potter) in it. Or have I read that wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have I read that wrong? You are correct, they are both in the movie. I found this movie to be a lot better than I expected. Way, way better than the 2001 Tim Burton remake. This was more of a prequel/reboot. Yes, the apes are all CGI'd, but that didn't bother me, I thought they were fairly realistic. I thought the movie was very good.
