1. So many critics tore it apart,
2. I'm not a fan of the previous Ape movies,
3. I'm not a fan of James Franco.
OTOH I always enjoy John Lithgow, Brian Cox, Tom Felton & Andy Serkis. Actually the movie is quite well done and they let you know from the very beginning the movie makers are on the side of the apes. Great special effects and dad-gummit there is even a story line. Go figure. Tired of basketball? See if you can check this one out at your local library for a viewing.
The baby ape is adorable.
