Rise of the Planet of the Apes, is, in fact, amazing. I was not expecting much, even with the surprisingly high Rotten Tomatoes score; It just seemed impossible that it could be anything but a lame rehash.

It is anything but a lame rehash. It’s incredibly fun and satisfying. It pulls at your heartstrings just the right amount. Fantastic performance by Andy Serkis, and the CGI is absolutely brilliant. This is not a movie you want to miss.

How is it even possible for Rise of the Planet of the Apes not to suck? Does this not defy the laws of physics or something?

In reply to Kris. I definitely expected a lot more from Super 8 and C&A. And there's just no way to guess that Rise of the Planet of James Franco could have been a critical hit. You just had some bad luck! And also I'm awesome.

In reply to Edmund. Haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure we will.

Hey Chris, have you seen Submarine? I rewatched it on DVD last night. When I saw it at the cinema I MAY have had a few pints of beer. This caused me to laugh far more than anyone else in the cinema.
It’s a damn good film, even if I see far too much of myself in the main character.

Don’t feel bad Kris, at least you kicked a ton of ass with Harry Potter!

I had a bad feeling fairly early on when Super 8 didn’t really pan out. Then, it sunk in that I picked Winnie the Pooh. However, I didn’t expect to get so completely killed in every single category.

So, a tip of the cap to you.

Next year, I’m doing my research and plan on going against my gut instincts.
