However, some funny parts solved that soon enough. As is the case with many SF-films the special effects were more important than the plot. Which is just a case of genre I guess. Although 'The Rise of the Planet of the Apes' postponed the clue of the film to the credits, which I'd never seen before! It keeps you wondering until the end of the film what really happened.

You couldn't quite miss the funny parts, listening to the guy next to me in the cinema
Special effects seem to get more important nowadays, but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This time, they did a great job with the apes. But... did anyone else notice in some of Ceasar's facial expressions similarities with the expressions Gollum sometimes shows? It's just that typical 'evil, sneaky' Gollum look, that you sometimes could see in Ceasar.
I liked it that they put the final conclusion just after a few seconds of endcredits. That rose the film a bit to a higher level for me

I've seen Harry Potter, and the movie was indeed quite good. In my opinion the 3D didn't add too much to the film. I just had to see it because it's, after 10(?) years of films, you finally can see the conclusion . But I found the ending a bit of an anti-climax (not the xx-years later part, but just before that), so that was a bit of a pity. For the rest, enough action, a bit too rushed and chaotic at times, and a decent movie.

Cowboys and Aliens was great! Well, of course it had its predictable moments and clichés, but not in a bad way. I liked it how it felt like watching a regular Western (until the Aliens incorporate of course ), in terms of character types and music. Glad it wasn't 3D though . What was really good about the movie was the music! Definitely helped to get that Western feeling.
