Sorry, this movie sucks
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
best movie i've ever seen.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
You mean to tell me they made this in 3D? But why? It's awful! I genuinely thought this was gonna be just its own movie, but as time carries on, you realize that this is quite literally, a King Kong ripoff, with much of the scenarios being nearly identical. You think we're dealing with a monstrous gorilla, but it turns out he's just a big, STUPID monkey, and I mean his head is hollow! He moves around in a ridiculous fashion, he constantly makes a fool of himself, and not to mention the effects in this movie are literally something you would see come out of a high school class. It was total crap.
A*P*E is both stupid and follows the King Kong storyline, and is probably the worst movie I have ever seen.Everything from King Kong and even Godzilla is copied by A*P*E. 1 - The ape escapes from an oil tanker. 2 - Giant footprints are found. 3 - They want to show the Ape off to the public. 4 - Ape kidnaps girl. 5 - Girl feels somehow attracted to the Ape. 6 - Army attacks Ape.Besides having a duplicate plot, A*P*E has many technical problems as well.1 - The Ape is 36 feet tall, but the shark and snake are the size of him. 2 - He towers over buildings, but he's 36 feet tall. 3 - The Ape throws the snake at the camera, knocking it down. 4 - You can see the Ape actor's shirt underneath the costume. 5 - Tons of plastic toys in this film.And you can tell the actor who played the Ape is pretty angry over him playing the role. He flips off the camera at one point.A*P*E fails as a movie, but as a comedy, it's really good. Get a bunch of friends and do a MST3K kind of thing.
Despise the crappy special effects, the poor acting and the repetitive stock footage Ape will always be a fun b-grade comedy that is crazily enjoyable on so many levels. The story starts out on a toy boat with 2 sailors talking about what there going to do with this 36 foot tall monster. We then see the Ape break loss and crash the boat, he then swims out to the ocean and fights a giant shark but the shark doesn't attack since its not really a shark its just a play toy in which the Ape throws around and wrestle with. Ape then invades land and scares children, fights a giant snake, and trashes down buildings oh and I forgot to mention that he even give the finger to a plane oh and he even dances to music for some strange reason. So as you can see there's plenty of fun yet there's plenty of long, boring and pointless scenes which might annoy the average viewers but hang in there, when Ape's on screen nothings funnier..Ape is also available in 3D so catch that version if you can..
This movie hates you. No two ways about it. It wants to hurt you for seeing it.Characters in this movie speak in a stream of continual profanities, fire flaming arrows and guns at the audience (while smiling), and the gorilla throws rocks at you and flips you the bird.The acting is mostly abominable. The effects are worse. Nothing makes much sense. The editing is choppy. The shots are poorly composed. The locations are grey, barren, and aggressively ugly. Stock footage is piled on and looped.Boring filler is shoved in wherever it will fit to pad out the slight story to 90 minutes. Then, it takes forever to finally end. (More punishment for you, the viewer.) Oh, and it's nominally in 3-D too.A hateful, hateful movie.
