@S.A.A.D
WOW. I don't even feel like arguing some of your points because it seems like your pretty set on your opinion.

 

[Liam_H]

EDIT, really annoying when Hype does this.

 

[TX85]

Finally got to see it,I feel it's defiantly the best since the original!!

 

[terry78]

I'm sure Felton was excited as hell to get the chance to say two of the most iconic lines in the franchise.

 

[TX85]

One thing that I hate about the movie is that the apes don't look like they got shot after they got shot, all I saw on them was blood and zero punctured flesh. The movie got really shoddy thanks to the really serious sounding music imo, negative one again.

Did you not see the punctured bullet holes on the Gorrila that sacrificed himself for Caesar?

 

[Poeman]

Saw it and I absolutely loved it. The crowd was really into it too...I like that the film focused on the growth and relationship of Caeser and Franco. Very well put together and the monkeys were well CGI'd

Makes me want to see the original again now

Nope, and the kicker is that I was actually watching the screen and not looking away.

Even though I didn't like the movie for the most part, I don't think that it's one of the worst movies ever.

wow, maybe you were sitting to far and couldn't see? I have no idea on how you didn't see them.

Well whether you saw them or not it was there. It wasn't in your face but there were bullet wounds.

I was like in the middle of the group of seats, if not close to the middle of them.

 

[TX85]

There were about three or four bullet wounds with blood,There were not huge But not tiny,Realistic bullet wounds to me!!!

what was the mid-credit scene? I forgot to stay for it.

spoiler tags please.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Overall it was certainly a lot better than I would have expected. But a lot of the "science" is just so implausible, that it's hard to suspend disbelief. Obviously, it's science fiction, so there's going to be pseudoscience, but there are limits.

Not only does the virus make chimpanzees smarter, it lets them talk… somehow. And it also works on other species of apes as well (even though they are more distantly related to chimpanzees than humans). Best of all, it also conveniently kills humans. That is some virus.

The Flowers for Algernon style storyline with Caesar was probably the movie's strongpoint.

I was a bit disappointed the apes didn't eat Malfoy.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

This movie was perfect. Not one wasted moment.

Loved seeing the Apes get smarter. Well worth the build up.

Best movie of the summer, bring on the sequel.

I missed it too but from what I was told...The pilot who was sneezed on by Will's co-worker is in a cab and sneezes blood. The implication is that he interacts with many people and soon the virus will spread, decimating the human population.

Why wouldn't a super intelligent ape be able to talk?

oh okay, thanks.

I think there's something to do with their vocal cords preventing them.

 

[Liam_H]

I just have to say again how much I enjoyed the scene of Caesar showing the chimp who bullied him who the real leader is.
The entire scene I was picturing Caesar saying "kiss my ring" while the gorilla behind him was acting as the muscle. He'd break his legs if he didn't comply. I just wished Caesar had extended his hand out first. Anybody else feel this way or was it just me?

Ceaser was the one to talk, I didn't hear the others speak. Ceaser was born smart, he had 5 years to learn things from humans. The old formula cured his dad at first, but then made the condition worse when it faded. The 2nd formula was more advanced, it makes sense to me that it would have an even more negative effect on humans.

I'm assuming that the virus obviously doesn't kill ALL the humans, otherwise there would be no sequel :P

 

[Ultimatehero]

Exactly. A baby can learn to speak. Even if it's pure imitation. Plus it didn't look like Ceaser knew that many words other than the key ones:

Spoiler

NO
CAESER
IS
HOME

 

[wobbly]

Yup. Caesar was born mutated by the first virus. Plus he was exposed to the stronger strain before he uttered a word. Not a leap to assume that combination of factors also caused a sufficient physical change in his larynx/voicebox that enabled him to speak. He already knew more than enough words, he just needed the means to speak them.

The other apes didn't talk, but obviously we would expect their progeny to quickly develop that skill (and in time the apes would more closely resemble those of the original series, walking upright etc.)

They established before that scene that extending the hand with an opened palm is a submissive gesture for Chimpanzee's, so having the 'alpha' male do that for Caesar (under threat from the Gorilla) worked fine as is.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

didn't get a chance to see this yesterday once again. Defenitely tommorow though.

So, would you guys rate this as one of the best films of the summer?
