Viewing Notes
Second film at G-Fest. Have never cared much for this movie mainly because the two apes are so goddamn dopey together (and in general) like portraying human emotions rather than being apes. But not just human emotions but over-emoting. Ugh. I think there was a good story in there but handled so poorly. And why is the boob flash from Hamilton necessary? Everything about this movie is disappointing.

Still have never seen this. I refuse to believe that Linda Hamilton’s breasts are disappointing!

OK, her boobs aren’t disappointing but everything else is! Just a silly nipple flash that’s just weird to have in this movie.
