I have heard from people that the franchise is supposed to be even better than the original film. Now I have watched this, I think I may already be getting into the franchise and why many love these movies so much. Rise of the Planet of the Apes is an excellent action-packed movie that reboots the original film and takes to a whole new level. A lot thanks to a highly intense story, awesome editing and special effects that makes the monkey's intelligence look intimidating, great character growth especially for Caesar's intentions throughout the movie, exciting action during the final act, and a powerful social commentary on animal abuse for experimenting. I think this will be the movie worth watching, even those that were like me and have not watched any of the movies. Once you give this a watch, I can guarantee you that it will make you want to catch up to the entire franchise. This has given this to a really great start and really has given me its first impression. Can't wait to watch more of these so even I can rise with the apes.
