From all the previews I've seen it looks like the exact opposite of all of that.

It was awful. They had a cool premise but mucked it up with the one dimensional perspective. I was greatly disappointed and would probably give the film a 3/10.

FFD don't get sold.
It was ludicrously predictable and had little to no action. I don't get why this person is calling it an action flick. The most exciting part of the movie which is *spoilers* a gorilla jumping at a helicopter *end spoilers* is spoiled in literally every commercial and trailer ever. -- ~Acting on Impulse~ Black Turtle still didn't MAJORA'S MASK ...

Sell it to me. Deeply existential, focuses almost entirely on the apes and their rise to a kind of quasi-humanity, brilliant storytelling where entire scenes are driven without any dialogue, great pacing, phenomenal special effects, and a wholly satisfying climax and resolution. It was awful. They had a cool premise but mucked it up with the one dimensional perspective. I was greatly disappointed and would probably give the film a 3/10. Andel just dissed the movie. That's seriously the most glowing endorsement I can think of. I think this topic is meant to be ironic. You like the Pirates movies, so yeah, I wouldn't recommend you go see it. -- ~Pinkie Pie is the best pony~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBpfwpOPXNc&NR=1&feature=fvwp ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also, critical reception has been pretty universally positive, which is rare for this type of action flick:

Most of the reviews I've seen are telling me the same thing as Bosh. I think it's been advertised pretty terribly (but hey, it is making money so...) but it might actually be a smart flick.

brother liked it a lot, saying it had a real heavy political message
he also said it's not really much of an "action" film with its slow pacing haven't seen it myself but i thought it was just gonna be a tired attempt at rebooting a dead franchise and it was gonna be just another stupid action-packed SFX heavy summer blockbuster -- Black Turtle all you need ...

It was pretty horrible and I had really high hopes for it. It couldve been good but what it evolved into was just completely unsatisfying. I really thought thered be more action and alot of it made no sense. Like how no one thought to use a gun on any of the apes til like hours after they had escaped. Not even the police, they just let the apes totally wreck their cars and got owned by them. The movie as a whole just didnt make much sense from the perspective of someone trying to make an action movie that people would actually like

It's a good movie, but it's not really what I'd call an "action" flick. This. I liked it. Thought it was good, but having two brief fight scenes and nothing but exposition and somewhat rare dialogue until the last ten minutes of solid action does not a great action flick make (let alone a "smartest action flick of the past x years"). I don't really know what I'd sell it as- a thriller I guess? But anyway, though the pacing might have been off it was still good. -- Courtesy of fr0q: http://img.imgcake.com/gencardjpgha.jpg Courtesy of Pun: http://img861.imageshack.us/img861/4738/genesissaga.png ...

Pirates 4
Critical reaction: Awful, derivative garbage.

how was 'Rise' intelligent in any way? The plot was something an 8th grader could have written and the acting was sub par. The premise seemed cool until I actually watched the movie. It actually insulted my intelligence more than anything. (All the Pirates were terrible as well)

It was decent enough, but there wasn't really anything special about it.
*spoilers?* I thought it was interesting that the apes, for the most part, didn't want to kill the humans. Well, at least Caesar didn't. Or rather, he didn't want to kill anyone he deemed innocent. Like, he consciously stopped the other apes from killing at least two people, but he also had no problem killing the douchebag handler (although, it was self-defense), and he had no problem with the older ape killing Jacobs. -- http://i38.tinypic.com/2zqtqur.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/1011/picture3e.jpg ...
