Rise of the planet of the apes - 9/10
Very good, some nice touches to link it to the originals

Inbetweeners movie - 8.5/10
Superb! Just like a long episode which isn't a bad thing.

Super and Hesher (Had a Rainn Wilson evening!)

I highly recommend both. 9/10!

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It has nothing to do with that travesty from 2001. :mad:

Its a prequel of sorts to the original movies but at the same time its a sort of reboot.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mesrine parts 1 & 2 (Vincent Cassel) 8/10
22 Bullets (Jean Reno) 7/10

3 French gangster films that hit all the right spots.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It is a prequel to them all regardless of your love or hate of a certain movie.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

The Smurfs 9/10 - Very interesting movie it remanded me of the time when I was little :)

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Not to start a debate but while Rise is technically a reboot it still follows the plot of the oroginal films so can still be classed as a prequal, where as the Tim Burton movie was a total reimagining of the story and had no real links to the original films. :)

The Man From Nowhere - Korean 2010 Movie
8/10! Pretty good, reminded me of Leon :D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

A bit like what they did with the new Star Trek movie were they kept the basic premise even though the story changed somewhat.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

It isn't actually a prequel to "Planet" or any of the other original films.

In the original film series, the rise of the apes was covered by the fourth film, "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes"... but "Rise" does it differently to how it happened in "Conquest": It is a complete reboot of the franchise, starting from the beginning rather than e.g. the middle by doing "Planet" again. For it to be a "prequel" it would have to actually fit in with the original films and actually be set before in the same continuity. It isn't.

e.g.

The Star Wars prequel trilogy films are prequels - they are set in the same continuity as the Original Trilogy, and directly precede those films.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was a prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, as it is set before it in the same continuity.

X-Men Wolverine and First Class were both prequels to the first X-Men movie.

JJ Abrams' Star Trek was a reboot of the Trek franchise (yet also kind of a sequel & parallel timeline, thanks to time travel, to avoid disrespecting the fans by erasing everything in the "Prime" timeline)

RDM's BSG was a reboot of the original BSG.

Casino Royale (2006) was a reboot of the James Bond franchise.




Anyway, staying on topic, I saw it tonight. Loved it.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

9/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Mixed views on Inbetweeners. As much as I liked it... it did lack something but may be I'm being critical after watching the series nonetheless, a good laugh.

The only film I've enjoyed watching so far this year was Limitless.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

My last movie was Cowboys and Aliens. Interesting premise, not a ver good realization but watchable.
6/10

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Watchable just about as you want to see how silly it gets and something not to be seen again.:D

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

Cowboys & Aliens was a film that I was so looking forward to, when I first saw the trailer, but it was just so boring. As said, good premise, badly executed. 2/10.

I was sure that the aliens killed all the "army" in the first 30 seconds of the final battle, but more came, got killed and then more came...

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
 

This is a good reason. ;) It's really silly and not well done but at least it is not extremely boring. :)

I noticed that too. Also in the middle of the final battle the aliens were very easy to fight but at the beginning and at the end they were almost invincible. There were really a lot of "clever" things like this.
