Mark Wahlberg is Brilliant in Planet of the Apes!!, 27 July 2001
10/10
Author: Sarah from Los Angeles,California

Mark Wahlberg was absolutley brilliant. He couldn't get any better. He was perfect for the part of Captain Leo Davidson. But if I could change anything about this movie, it wouldn't be so straight forward. Everything was explained for us. I mean there were a few little twists especially at the end, but I would have made it a lot more deeper. All and all it was a great movie and I would definitley go see it again.
