Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)

Yes, monkeys do have emotions & with little R&D we can make them intelligent enough to rule the mankind (incase you haven't seen the original "Planet of the Apes" series). But this movie is quite a big for an apetite. Definitely not for the Planet of the Apes lover. Though Rupert Waytt (Director) did say that it is a reboot and shall not be linked to the previous series, but then he shall not have used the name "Planet of the Apes" as it won't do justice to the previous if we do not connect. After Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes (2001) - the remake, the viewers surely will expect something related to the story & not a reboot. Moreover, this movie promise nothing, except to wait for a sequel. But the series will not survive long if they do not connect it to original story.

The original rise lies with the "Conquest of Planet of the Apes" & still holds the award-  "But now... now we will put away our hatred. Now we will put down our weapons. We have passed through the night of the fires, and those who were our masters are now our servants. And we, who are not human, can afford to be humane. Destiny is the will of God, and if it is Man’s destiny to be dominated, it is God’s will that he be dominated with compassion, and understanding. So, cast out your vengeance. Tonight, we have seen the birth of the Planet of the Apes! (Conquest of the Planet of the Apes - 1971)

"

The story could have been more stronger.

All in all its 5/10
