I didn't like it. The inevitability element makes a film a dud from the start... of course the apes are going to win, it's in the title! I was disapointed with the decision to make the main sympathetic character in the film the ape, who gives a shit about apes?
The main ape wears trousers throughout the film which was kind of distracting, obviously they couldn't figure out a better solution to having his junk flying about when he did all his acrobatics. And indeed I was struck by the vanilla atmosphere in general, I would have liked to see some human arms getting ripped off and some apes getting shot, no joy I'm afraid, it was all very conspicuously non-violent.
Save your dosh and YouTube some old PG Tips ads instead.
