Overlong and slow-moving at times, I did not find this film as interesting or exciting as 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'. It is nevertheless an extraordinary film (and I think Caesar is one of the sexiest CGI creations ever!).

160310: How come apes always appear so unhappy? It seems apes and humans have many similar traits though it appears the apes are trying harder. This is an ok film, that's about it. A bit slow in it's pace; found my attention drifting off at times. My eleven year old was spooked by it. That's all.

After the ending of the first film, I was hoping they would make a sequel so that we could see where the story would go next, luckily in 2014 we got exactly that, and it didn't disappoint. When I heard that Wyatt was retiring as a director in this franchise, I got a bit nervous because whenever you change directors within a franchise, I can either work really well or really bad, but then I heard that they hired Matt Reeves to direct the sequel, the same man who directed Cloverfield and Let Me In, that gave me a bit more confidence in the sequel. Matt Reeves did one heck of a job directing this movie, is stunning, the cinematography is just beautiful. Andy Serkis is once again great as Caesar and Toby Kebbell was also fantastic as Koba, once again the human characters played by Jason Clarke and Keri Russell, while giving good performances, the writing of their characters never made them as interesting as the apes, but that is also because the people playing the apes are that good. I really like the story and how is executed, a lot of things you'd think would be predictable in a movie like this, are done in ways you wouldn't expect. I really think Dawn is up there with T2 and The Dark Knight as one of those few sequels that don't just live up to it's predecessor, it excels it.
