As you may be able to tell by my signature pic, I'm a huge PotA fan. I was pretty skeptical going into Rise because the 2001 Tim Burton version was pretty bad (tho I still watch it from time to time as a sort of guilty pleasure). I wasn't sold on the idea of the apes being motion capture, and I wasn't really thrilled with some of the previews.
But I was totally blown away when I saw this movie in theaters. I even went to see it a second time in the theater. It's easily my favorite movie of the year. Everything about this movie exceeded my expectations. The story, the acting (Andy Serkis and John Lithgow FTW), the pacing of the film, the VFX, the action and all the little nods to the original series just clicked for me. I just baught the movie on bluray this week and I cannot wait to watch it again. Looking forward to the sequel!
