I know we have talked about this before in another thread, but why does everyone have such a hard on for James Franco in that movie? I think ANYONE in that role could have performed the same way he did. It wasnt that emotional to me, the nature of the situation is what sold it, not really his acting. :dunno

That's nonsense. Actors try and fail to convincingly portray harrowing experiences all the time. Much more often than not.

Hows that nonsense? Such as? I just dont think that he acted that well. Put any actor in the situation he was in (cutting his arm off) and youll think that he "acted well". I just wasnt impressed. I mean I enjoyed it, I just dont think he deserved all the praise he got for that role.

They were Escape from the Planet of the Apes and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. I think this would be considered a reboot of the story told in those.

You're right about me forgetting... I've seen the original movie 3 or 4 times. I haven't watched any of the sequels in a very long time.
Maybe I'll watch them again before seeing this new one.

I wouldn't recommend it. It's best if they stay forgotten.

I remember watching the reruns in the late 70s. It wasn't that bad (then). It's up there with Space 1999....
