I loved this film probably my fav of the summer only out done by harry potter which i thought ended that story brilliantly. As for green lantern im starting to think i may be the only one that enjoyed it.

Thumb me down all you want. But I thought Planet Of The Apes was one of the worst movie I saw this summer. Outdone only by Green Lantern which was even worst.
And saying that Serkis deserves an Oscar nomination for Apes? Please, give me a break!
Anyways, happy most of you liked it but for me the original Apes movies were more than ok. I really don't want to see a sequel to the latest one and would like for all involved to put their time, effort and money into another movie.

He may just be the first CGI A-Lister actor!

I have to disagree that it's a stretch to say this film needed a sequel. The first thing I thought about when the movie ended was, what happens next? I mean, obviously, I know they take over the world, but they filmmakers created such a rich story that draws you in...i didnt want it to end. And honestly, storywise, there's still a lot to tell.

I don't know if Serkis has a shot with the Academy, but he sure does deserve more recognition. For me, its one of the most effective performance this year. Serkis is the reason this film made such a great impression on me. Give if a special Oscar if you can't give him the real one, that's the least that could be done.

best summer movie of the summer

As long as the sequel isn't Emmerich-esque.
Taj Mahal - smashed by apes!
Eiffel Tower - swung on by apes!
three gorges dam - toppled by apes!
Actually I take it back. All that shit would be cool.
Just don't lose the apes beating on cops angle.

Probably..

my favorite movie of the year so far and one that I would welcome a sequel just to see Serkis do his thing.

Yeah the way the film ended it was pretty clear that the occurrences in Rise were anomalous and not tantamount to a true take over by apes. The only way I could see it succeeding is if the apes who did escape (and survive) had moved themselves somewhere isolated where they trained themselves in the way of culture and intellgience and developed their own society, the first model for the Planet of the Apes. I would call it: Education of the Planet of the Apes.
