Rise of the planet of the apes

I planned to watch it with Katica, but she said it must be scary so she doesn't want to watch it.
I went with an other friend, and it was better in some way, eg: I could truly concentrate on the film and not lough my knickers off because of the funny comments.
(Beside there was rough parts)
I must admit I just wanted to see it because James Franco. I didn't have to be dissapointed in him, but i liked him more in 127 hours.He played the character credible,but we got less from his adorable wide smile. However in the first scene I just saw a James Franco dressed in a doctor costume, but then he convinced me that he is Will a resercher in San Francisco who tries to found a medicine for alczheimer, and tries to cure his father.
The other interesting stuff in it are the apes, who also the other main things in the movie. Their leader is Ceaser, who is a super intelligent ape, who lives with Will, but then things turns into the bad direction.
First I thought they filmed the movie with real apes but they were just animation, the best I think.
The actress who played Will girlfriend was nothing special, she was much better in Slumdog Millionare,she plays an animal doctor.

The story or this movie is the premise of the original movie not a remake, luckily. I saw that old one years ago but back then I didn't like it, it was all dusty etc, now I'm thinking to watch again.
The story was ok, it kept me excited and worried trought the whole film. There weren't any too fluffy parts in it, maybe they just rushed over some for me important things, and could show us what happens with the character, Will after all the problems was solved.(maybe I found out from the original)
The movie included all the significant scenes that an action movie requires. There were bad guys who die at the end, a sad family line, a love story, the main character who just wants to do the right things and save his ape and a big chasing scene trought all San Francisco, even on the Golden Gate bridge, where we can realize how selfish and mean the people can be. Oh yes and also there is a helicopter which blows up and then falls to a river with the bad guy on it. Plus an ape pushes it off from the bridge.
It's ends of course with a happy-end. :)
