Rise of the Planet of the Apes

A movie you love, but still chose to pirate unless you live literally 5 minutes away from a cinema.

Why would it make a difference whether he loved it or not? He wouldn't have known that until after he watched it...

It looks good from the trailer, anyway.

Personally i expected it to be much better id rate it 5/10

Sadly most of the viewers probably haven't seen any of the original movies.

As for that ive seen them all i believe, my mom was always a fan id have to say the first and 3rd are my favs though

But that's the problem really. I mean a lot of people say they are a massive fan of an artist or band yet all their stuff is illegal. If you love something so much you should put a bit of money to it as it shows you appreciate the hard work that went into making it Music or Film.

It's easy to say oh they make a load but a lot of artists really make most money during tours. Do you think if everyone went down the pirate road the artists would keep going. No most would just stop because they would think no one liked them any more.

Also its easy to say they have a bit of money but then it is their job remember. Imagine if you where making loads of money doing webdesign and then loads of people started taking your work and not paying, while you might have a bit of money you wouldn't be happy still because a job is a job.

If you like the above movie, I'm sure you'll love the original first three movies

[1] Planet of the Apes (1968)
[2] Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)
[3] Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)

The movie you are reviewing here is actually a remake of no. 4 in the series:

[4] Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)



This one was not really much of a favorite of mine. They seemed to get progressively worse as they went along... Of all the movies, its terribly hard to beat, the original. Chalton Heston puts in a terrific performance as the commander, Taylor, with some very memorable lines:

"Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!"



The plot if quite believeable in the first movie, and it is carried out quite well, direct from the water crash landing onward. In reviewing remakes of today, its not a bad idea to lessen the weight placed on modern special effects and look to the performances and plots for a more accurate and useful comparison with originals.
