Just watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
It was good, very good even. The ending was a little anticlimatic but I'm under the impression there is a sequel already in the works so it makes sense really. Plus, there is some extra parts after the initial credits so be sure to stick around for a little bit. This sets the scene for a follow up nicely. The CGI is frankly, amazing. The few laughable parts are, I think, a result of the difficulty of showing increasing intelligence. For that reason, I don't think the film should be criticised as they did well with a difficult idea. They just pushed it a little too far and it became a tad farcical.
