In Reply to: Next time, see the film. The gorilla had been given a super drug that greatly increased its posted by tinear on August 26, 2011 at 19:19:16:
So their powers to jump through plate glass exterior windows from the fourth floor and hit the ground running comes from their increased intelligence? Please explain how being smarter gives you super powers.
The jump was "hardly 75 feet?" Seriously? It was probably more. What do you think the wing span is on that helocopter? How far does it have to be from the bridge just to keep from hitting it? It was at least 75 feet AND that gorilla had just been hit by automatic gun fire!
No I did not hate iron man because it was unbelievable. Although it was unbelievable it was a comic book based movie not scifi. Different demands on the accepted premise. different rules. The only thing in this one was a super virus that made them more intelligent. Not sure how that is licence to suspend the laws of physics.
But this is only one of many stupid things they did in this movie. How about this. Guy who handles apes at the research facility loses his mask while they ariate a freaking experimental **VIRUS** (as if they would be in their with just Home Depot style resperators!!!) he immediately blows blood out his nose and shows all kinds of symptoms. Not only do they let him go home and blow blood on other people but they don't even think about it when he doesn't show up to work for two days. REALLY? That is amazingly stupid? I'm not even getting into the arbatrary character arcs.
I worked with one of the actors in this movie about five months ago. This movie did come up. He said it was the dumbest script he had ever read. I had forgotten about that conversation until I saw him up there playing such a sadly cartoony character that was way below him as an artist. But wer all gotta make a living.
The sad thing is none of the stupid stuff in this movie was needed. The apes didn't need super powers, The characters did not need to make arbitrary changes nor did they need to be so cartoony. Had the makers of this movie been willing to do the work they could have made a very good movie. Instead they chose to take an intelectual crap. You want to see smart just see the original version of *this* movie. Yes, it is a remake. The original was Conquest for the Planet of the Apes. Much better movie.
