Rise of Planet of The Apes was dope but...


I know I’m a little late but I just saw planet of the apes.  Great action packed movie.  It  also posed a lot of interesting questions about humanity, morality, what it means to be a parent and blah blah blah.  Over all the movie kicked ass because of great special effects, good storyline and the smokebomb Indian chick from Slumdog Millionaire. Even still it had the usual unrealistic Hollywood bullshit.  The kind of bullshit that allowed Leo to kick the crap out of two Providence thugs in the Departed for example.  However, I only have an issue with two aspects of the movie.

The first is, why did they let the bacon (the cops) handle the beef on the Golden gate bridge.  Like if I’m in charge I’m not going “ok an army of super intelligent super strong apes are attacking the city, challenging human superiority on the food chain, let me call in San Frans finest.” Hell no.  I’m calling in Seal Team Six and Delta force.  I’ll be all like “Ground personnel will have to mark the targets with IR strobes. Get the little birds on strafing runs and keep them going all night long”, like they did at the end of Black Hawk down.  See how the monkeys like it when tactical helicopters are coming in at full speed with top level weapons systems.  No way a gorilla  is catching one of those.  No way.  Also, no fat ass, circus orangutans are sneaking under the bridge.  I’d have sniper boats under the bridge picking those bastards off.  I mean this is a war for species superiority, survival of the fittest.  You can’t hold anything back.




My only other small beef with the movie is that James Franco lives with the dope chick from Slumdog millionaire, Frieda Pinto, for years and doesn’t knock her up.  I mean they both have steady careers and great looks.  It seems unrealistic they don’t have a kid.  If she was my girlfriend I would be banging without a rubber all day long and its unhealthy to use birth control plan b and abortions for that long, so she is getting knocked up. 





But I guess they had a super smart chimpanzee instead?  Still doesn’t seem the same to me, plus look how that worked out.  Oh well movie can’t be perfect.  I just can’t wait for the sequel.  If it doesn’t have a Delta Force vs. Chimpanzee showdown I will walk out.
