The PETA approved prequel to "Planet Of The Apes", "Rise Of The Planet Apes'" is pretty lame stuff.
The comparison is with the third pf the franchise series "Escape from Planet Of The Apes" in which two ape scientists escape back in time to modern (well 1970 -so the clothes are hideous) Earth. One (the female if memory serves) is pregnant and by the end of the movie she and her husband and baby "Ceasar" is ready for conquest.
It wasn't great but it wasn't bad. And the ape out of water beginning was sparkling.
"Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes' has the vastly over-rated, intensely annoying (I didn't even like him in the Spidey movies) James Franco, as a scientist who finds a cure for Alzheimer's that makes chimps also very smart.
So, of course, they gas the lvery smart chimps except for baby Ceasar, a baby chimp, who Franco raises as a son until tragedy strikes.
The parts where the Ceaser is growing up faster than you can say Baby Einstein are a blast (funny how the fun parts are always the fun parts) and the bits where Ceaser is a teenager are a drag. He is jailed for protecting Franco's papa and resents it mightily, steals some more of the ape smart pills, and gives em to the othe apes, and then plans a great escape. It all ends up on the Golden Gate Bridge and the ending is fun in its own way but the movie drags bad for at least half of it.
And music?
Nope, except for generic background ebbing and flowing not a sausage. Not one song. Not even "Ben".
Movie: B
Music: F
