I saw this movie with some friends about a week ago and I have been meaning to write about it ever since. As you can see from my discussion of... everything else I write about here, I'm not much for reviews, but I do like to share my thoughts.
This was kind of a strange movie, in my opinion. I've never seen Planet of the Apes or any of the other movies in the franchise, so for me it's kind of a standalone thing. It just didn't seem to flow quite right. Basically it was separated into three distinct parts.
The first part would be entitled "James Franco and His Adorable Pet Ape are Adorable," and was character development of motives on the part of Franco's character.
The second part is "Tom Felton is a Dick and Caesar Gets Pissed," which was character development on the part of Caesar and his motives.
The third part is "Apes Learn to Talk and Then Fuck Shit Up," which is exactly what it sounds like.
So the first part and the second part flowed together pretty logically, but then the third part came and I wasn't really sure quite way the apes were being so violent or what they were really trying to accomplish and it was all a little bit confusing.
That said, the first two thirds were a pretty good movie, and anything starring James Franco and Tom Felton can't be too bad, right?
