Movie Review : Rise of the Planet of the Apes


Brief Summary - Will Rodman [James Franco] is an over zealous scientist, obsessed with finding a drug to cure Alzheimers. His experiment results in the creation of 'super' intelligent apes desirous of freedom.

Rating - on a scale of 1 to 10 the apes earned a 6!

Movie Strengths - Andy Serkis [voice of Gollum,from the Lord of the Rings trilogy] made Caesar's character very engaging.

Movie Weaknesses - After all  Caesar endured I expected him to go 'more' King Donkey Kong on the humans.

Final thoughts - This franchise is probably as old as time, but the directors managed to revive it without being too predictable.
