Loved this movie, Ceaser was amazing!!
It’s too bad Andy Serkis can’t be nominated for best actor at the Academy Awards.
It was a really good movie, I just hope the action would have come earlier in the movie or that they would have made the movie a bit longer. The anticipation for the revolution was bit long but the build up was really good and the relationship between Franco’s character and Ceasar was believable.
