I got the CD recently and noticed that on my copy track 18 is called "Ceasar Says No" while on the Varèse Sarabande and other sits the track is called "Ceasar's Stand". Did anyone notice this?

This is one those"coulda-been great" films for me.
I enjoyed it tremendously but....
There is a real laziness in the writing especially the characters.
Freida pinto is a totally unneccary character. She seems to be there just 'cause she is so pretty.
ALL the supporting characters are one -dimensional archetypes:
- the greedy cproporate boss
- the sadistic game keeper
etc
James Franco brought a lot of humanity to the role and the Serkis/Casaer work is great.
What really made the film for me was the spectacular conclusion on the GG Bridge.
b+ for the film
b- for the score

I have to eat crow.
When the film was released I liked it - but the score was disappointing to me.
Now, years later, I gave it another chance - and adore it.
Another victim of wrong expectations and throwing a childish hissy fit over not getting what I wanted.
In fact, Doyle really hits this one out of the park. Fantastic score.
Sorry, Mr. Doyle. I was wrong.
Here´s to you scoring the next one, too.

Oh, yes - Giacchino and Matt Reeves work together well.
And since I´m a Giacchino fan, too, I´m looking forward to this new score as well.
Maybe he will pull off such greatness like his "John Carter"-score, another throwback to a legendary era, in which the "Planet of the Apes"-movies were created?

It is a great film with a wonderful score... Patrick Doyle did a great job. I do hope he returns for the sequel (re-uniting many of the original creative team)...
