Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes Sucks! - HungAngels

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is total crap compared to the original. First of all, I really hate CGI, it just never looks real to me. I'd rather see actors in ape outfits any day. Second, these just look like real monkeys, not upright walking creatures in groovy outfits. Weak. Third, I won't spoil the ending, but I will say that it is pretty simplistic and non-sensical. Anyway, go rent the original, it's a classic. This one is a steaming pile of monkey crap.

Saw the Original with Heston again recently and enjoyed it. I also liked some of the early sequels too.

Yeah, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes is really good too. The ending is crazy.

America could have told you that. The apes have risen. Welcome to the current presidency and the envious "But the rich people!" Administration.

Beneath the Planet of the Apes isn't bad either. Escape From the Planet of the Apes is kind of boring and Battle For the Planet of the Apes is really low budget. The Tim Burton remake is OK, but a little pretentious, and the Abe Lincoln as an ape ending is pretty ridiculous.

I knew this movie would be terrible.

Everyone I've talked to that's seen it has said it's the best "Apes" film since the original. I haven't seen it but sorry you didn't enjoy it.

I recommended and took about 8 co-workers to see it back in the theater. Boy, were they ever pissed at me 119 minutes later.

Guess I'll wait to watch it on the DirecTV.

I made a thread about The Devil's Double. That looks interesting to me.
