Oh really? ohwell Don't tell me. I don't wanna know the ending, but not as good as the original I presume. The apes were pretty creepy no?

The apes were not creepy at all, actually. They were portrayed as pawns of man, very much the victim.

As for the humans, the only performance I really appreciated was John Lithgow's. He was very good, but he usually is.

With Geary in Fredo's Brothel
SORT OF A SPOILER IN HERE

Despite trepidations, and really thinking I would hate it, I was very surprised. I thought it was very well done, the special effects were terrific, Lithgow great, and the role reversal employed when "the line" was said could not have been better.

So, ROTAs is the prequel to the '68 movie?

Don Cardi cool

Five - ten years from now, they're gonna wish there was American Cosa Nostra. Five - ten years from now, they're gonna miss John Gotti.

Yes, and I thought the ending was rather abrupt.

i watched this movie.i did not liked this movie too much it was ok for me.i expected much from it.i think the story of the movie was not good that's why i did not like it.the movie is about Three chimpanzees are captured in an African jungle from their troop by poachers and shipped to San Francisco. Will Rodman (James Franco) is a scientist at pharmaceutical company Gen-Sys who has been trying to develop a cure for Alzheimer's disease by testing a genetically engineered gene therapy on 12 chimps. The drug mutates the chimpanzees, giving them a human level of intelligence.so it was not good for me..
