movie review

I saw rise of the planet of the apes and it was excellent. It,s a great reboot of the apes series. I was worried about it after that tim burton remake we got 10 years ago but this new movie is not a remake but a brand new start to a new series of movies. Yes there are nods and callbacks to the original movie and yes we do get to hear the classic line get your paws off me you damn dirty ape. One of the apes is called bright eyes and we see a news report of a mission to mars later on see a newspaper with the headline lost in space? the story is a great new begining for the series. The f/x is awesome, the action is great, the acting is good. I think the f/x will likely get a oscar nod. I think they perfectly set things up so we could see planet of the apes down the line. I think the next one will be somewhat of a remake of battle for the planet of the apes and i would,t be surprised if they used that title for the next movie. The original series was 5 movies long. I think this new series will end up being 4 movies long. I say that this really is a must see movie for fans of the original ape series. For anyone that has never seen the original movies you,ll still enjoy this new movie. I give it 3 and a half stars.
