    • Film Reviews

Though 2001’s Planet of the Apes remake proved that the property was still viable enough to make money, no one was aching to follow up Tim Burton’s film with another Mark Wahlberg starring romp. So, the franchise once again went back to the ‘we’ll get to it when we can’ pile of films.

Flash forward to 2011. Armed with Gollum himself Andy Serkis, as well as visionary director Rupert Wyatt, 20th Century Fox seemed ready to once again do a new version of Planet of the Apes for the masses called Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Though this time, they substituted James Franco in place of hunky Mark Wahlberg. The result was another success, this time with both critics and audiences.

Join Matt, Adam, and Garrett as they continue their look at the Planet of the Apes franchise, and determine if Rise deserves all its praise. And be sure to keep returning week after week as this is all leading up to a review of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
