Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Fishman1966 My nephew and I get together every few months for a bad movie night. Boy, this is one. It is nearly too bad to be good. The plot(?) is simple, a 36 foot tall ape escapes from a freighter that was bound for Disneyland. At several points in the movie, by several people, it is pointed out that the ape is 36 feet tall. Not "around 35" or "about 40" but "36". There is no explanation as to where this large ape came from. The "fight scenes" are horrendous (the snake scene involves the ape taking the snake off of a tree and throwing it away, the snake then slitheres away). All of the scenes with the Asians running are virtually silent (without even the usual screaming), and the American scenes are obviously inserted. Truly awful, if you're going to abuse yourself by watching it make sure to do it with a friend who appreciates bad movies.

Flak_Magnet This is a great bad movie and many of the scenes are hilarious. If you'd enjoy watching a 60-sec slow-motion scene where a guy in a gorilla costume wrestles an obviously dead shark, thrashing it around and pretending to be in the throes of death, look no further. This whole movie is full of great scenes like that, and if it weren't for an overly drawn out love story subplot, "A.P.E." would be a 5-star unintentional comedy. You get a little bit of everything in this South Korean flick: "Godzilla"-style miniature sets, toy model animals and people, remote control helicopters, firework explosions, and of course, a guy in a gorilla suit. The plot is not important, really, and the film gets right down to brass tacks after about 2-min of backstory. Just know that there is a 35-ft tall ape, and he is going to rampage Korea. Throw in an American actress (Joanna Kerns, of "Growing Pains" fame), her reporter boyfriend, and a pair of Army officers bent on killing the beast, and you have "A.P.E." The direction and editing are sometimes stunningly inept, resulting in several great "WTF moments," including my favorite when a character is hanging off the outside door of a moving jeep, for seemingly no reason. Anyhow, I could go on forever with this one. As far as bad movies go, "A.P.E." is a definite keeper. You are going to get laughs out of this one.

rucito It's not because of the plot. It's not because of the special effects. It's not because of the acting. It's not because of anything you can imagine. This movie goes beyond your imagination and your mind capabilities. It's worth seeing it just for the sake of it. Don't take it too seriously, don't panic after 5 minutes of footage and give it a chance. Please, be gentle and open minded. It is probably one of the most exhilarating, fresh and funny movies I've ever seen ( and I've seen a lot of crap). To be honest, even though I love Bergman (for example), not everybody is ready to watch his films and prefers very "light " movies like this masterpiece. Believe it or not. A*P*E* rocks!!!!!

jocephicus Well, I just had the good fortune to see this movie on the big screen in glorious 3D(although my 3d glasses kept falling off of my regular glasses) and must say that all of the previous posts(with exception of the person who gave it like 9 stars) just did not get this movie and never will. Yes it is bad, terribly bad. Yes the acting sucks etc. Did this detract from my enjoyment of the film? Not a whit. I can imagine that in 2d on a TV the charm could be significantly diminished but in its original 3d glory this is not to "B" missed . I cant fathom all of the bad posts from folks who claim to like this genre of movies. I mean look at the godzilla movies that were coming out at this time frame, pure cheese! Yet I love them just the same! If your idea of a giant monster movie is the Hollywood godzilla or the peter jackson king kong then by all means please skip this. If on the other hand you wish peter jackson would take his next million dollars and sink it into a remake of meet the feebles then you might get a few chuckles out of this movie.
