I remember when I first read that they were making Rise of the Planet of the Apes -- must have been just over a year ago. I scoffed at the idea, as I'm sure most people did. It seemed like the prequel that no one was asking for. No one could have predicted that this was rich territory for anything other than a quick buck, particularly after the abysmal Tim Burton/Mark Wahlberg Apes movie from a few years back.
Okay, I'm sure someone somewhere predicted that there was a good movie to be made here, because, here we are. Still...
