Deb's Take:
I am not a Planet of the Apes Fan. After seeing this movie, I still am not a fan. I don't feel like I can really give anyone a good review of this movie, because quite frankly, I thought it was stupid. I couldn't get past the fact that these Apes were "human" and have evolved to a point where they were equal to man. I just didn't like it. So, since I went with my son and husband I will give you their opinions, beause they are more fans than me. My husband said it was ok, he thought it was too drawn out and sort of boring. He did think the premise of this one was good, and didn't say it was aweful just not great. My 13 year old son was a different story. The whole way home he tried to convince me that I really DID like the movie, but that I just didn't understand it. UM, no, but good try. Anyway, he really liked it. The actors did good, I didn't realize the Apes were actually played by people so that was something interesting. All in all though, just can't give it kudos. Although, the 30 year old male who was sitting to my left was obviously touched because he cried through the whole last scene, like for real....
Deb's Rate: Don't bother unless you are a fan of Planet of the Apes, if so I suppose a Matinee would do.
