The film was surprisingly good. The first hour was very well put together.

The ending makes perfect sense and effortlessly sidesteps everyone's complaint that monkeys couldn't pose a threat to humans. The monkeys don't lead some sort of military revolution.

As far as the end of the world plot point goes they put it in but left it so very vague that it still works with the lore from the original films.

I disagree completely with the people claiming the humans were irrationally dumb. They were treating the apes like anyone would treat an animal on the loose and they paid for that mistake. A mistake we only see them make once.

I was very pleasantly surprised.

The police had guns and they shot a number of the apes.

The ape speaking was far and away my least favorite part, it almost ruined the film for me.

Apes don't have the proper vocal cords for human speech and the argument that the brain medicine made his vocal cords evolve is inane.

Not even for the word 'no'? I think I've heard apes make sounds similar to the word 'no' so I don't think it would require some sort of evolutionary process for them to form the word. All it would take is the brain power to understand what the word means, to hear the word being said in the proper context, and the realization that it can make sounds similar to that word to be able to reproduce something like what happened in the movie. I haven't watched the movie, just the Youtube clip of it saying no, so you'll have to tell me if those things happened or not.

He also says, "Caesar is home" or something along those lines.

Okay yeah, that is taking it too far. It would take at least a few decades at the bare minimum for them to start using language like that.

What I can is, Andy Serkis is the best thing the graphics department has ever had.

Is the story like a prequel for that Mark Wahlberg one? I kinda get the impression that it is.
