"Because of your love, I will never be a lonely spirit."
It has been years since I've seen this movie. Long has it sat on my Wishlist for purchase, and I'd never gotten around to it. Tonight I saw it was on sale, and eagerly purchased it. Having the house to myself, I was prepared to become lost in the fast-paced and thrilling wuxia action, and the pounding drums of the soundtrack.

I knew going into this that it would be a challenging watch, even more so since I've lost a child. What I was not prepared for was the manner in which these incidences happened.

I was very excited for this sequel to the newer adaptations of this franchise. The work put into the story and effects in the previous trilogy is truly stunning. This newest entry is no less thrilling.
I'm going to be watching it again, and I have a feeling my rating will potentially increase. The world building in this newest entry sets up an interesting dichotomy between the newly ruling apes and the "lowly" humans. Despite it…
A movie so good that even Sean Connery can't bring it down!
I'm a sucker for Nicolas Cage, and I'm also a sucker for Michael Biehn. Anything that either of them are in is probably going to get a fairly high ranking from me.
This is Michael Bay at his best. A pulse-pounding thrill ride including great dialogue, great action, and great tension, The Rock will surely be a crowd pleaser. And its VFX still hold up today just as they did in '96. If you haven't seen this, I hope you have atropine ready, because this rocket is taking off.
