Rise of the Planet of the Apes Movie Review
In a time where Hollywood has deemed they must reboot/remake every existing movie franchise known to man, it was no surprise when word got out that The Planet of the Apes was getting a fresh coat of paint, and the general consensus was a collective groan. After all, the classic tale had already seen a remake once (*points at Tim Burton and Mark Wahlberg*), and though it fared well financially, fans of the original cried out in rage at the blasphemous Burton tale. So, with the waters already tainted, Fox had two options for proceeding with the franchise: produce a sequel, or reboot it.
Fox chose the latter.
And I am ever grateful that they did.
