Rise Of The Planet of The Apes

Phil’s Quick Capsule Review

A well made prequel that for the most part gives a satisfying reboot to what had become a very tired franchise.   It’s not without its problems – whilst CGI Ceaser is amazing some of the background apes are pretty poor, the ending is unsatisfying and it takes a while to get going but for certain ROTPOTA is one of the more entertaining films out during summer 2011, made all the better for what should be an Oscar winning performance from Sirkis.  

Best Bit: Andy Sirkis
