Rise of the planet of the apes
Seen this today! It is ape-tastic. I’ve never seen the original but now I want to, so I guess you can say the film did its job in that regard. And Andy Serkis is fabulous, although he always is.
But! Why cast Freida Pinto if you’re going to give her nothing to do? She might as well have not been in the film for all she actually did, she had no personality, no meaningful lines…why, oh movie company, why? Is she just there so they can have A Girl? Huh.
