So I watched this movie yesterday, wow, for a while I thought it was possible that it was over-hyped and would do more bad than good once I actually watched it, but I was so wrong. Rise was a great film, it was my introduction to Planet of The Apes (not counting Burton's) and it piqued my interest; as is the case with most movies, I figured the sequel would be disappointing but like Goose said, it took everything great from Rise and expanded upon it. I loved how much time was actually spent with the apes!
