this reboot is worth watching

these apes may be smart, but with the exception of Caesar, they're really just effects. They never make you wonder who the maniacs are
Review rate : B-
by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]
there's no momentum to the film, no sense of a build-up to an all-out war. Rise of the Planet of the Apes throws out references to previous Apes films to amuse hardcore fans
