Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Sep. 8th, 2011 08:12 amThe studio's weekly screening yesterday was of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and as I could spare the time, and had heard good things about it, I went.
It wasn't bad, but I think the fuss about it is more a reflection on the overall quality of movies this summer than its own intrinsic brilliance. I was quite content not to have seen it before, and now, having seen it, I could have been content never to have, but I did enjoy it to some extent and don't regret having spent nearly two hours on it. Personally, I would sum up its goodness in two words: ANDY SERKIS.
( A brief and highly personal reflection on the movie... )
Well there you have it: a review that's useful to no one but myself. Tadaa! Now let's see... are there any movies coming out this fall that I'm looking forward to ...?
