I think the film was edited really really well. Enough to tell a complete story while keeping you completely glued.

Also the shorter the film, the more viewings Fox will have at cinemas. It is late in the summer so I'm sure Fox had to give that some thought.

But yeah, an extended version on Bluray?. Bring it! The more the merrier. :o)

This movie was so well edited and keeps you so glued that the last time I saw it (third time) I had to go the restroom half way through the film and holded on til the end of the movie. Even though I already seen it. Now that says a lot! lol

Go see it again and wear a Depends.

Let's keep the spoiler considerations in place until Sunday. That's enough time for most people to have seen the film.

But he seemed more concerned about Caesar then about the riot he caused. He was chasing his monkey like Wahlberg did.

Apes greatest threat will be "Fright Night."

At least the rating on Rotten Tomatoes seem to indicate that.

Subject: [pota] Will "Rise" take a fall this weekend?

 

  It's another weekend already and things are looking bad for "Rise of the POTA". After two weekends on top, here come three semi-big movies to try to knock it off it's perch. "Rise" is kind of a remake of "Conquest" and two of the 3 have histories with "Conquest" actors. "Fright Night" is a remake of the movie that had perhaps Roddy's most famous latter day role: horror host Peter Vincent. "Spy Kids 4" continues the franchise that gave Ricardo Montalban a new generation of fans (also, director Robert Rodriguez turned down POTA twice: in the '90's as well as "Rise" itself). There's also a new "Conan the Barbarian"; the 1982 original had Ah-nuld as star and Oliver Stone as credited writer (though none of his work was used) and the duo almost reunited for POTA in the mid-90's.

  Add to that the continued success of "The Help" (which has been beating "Rise" all week) and the apes have their work cut out for them staying on top this weekend.

Are you a fan of the original? From the trailers I've seen, it looks
like they've completely botched everything that I love about the
original.
