TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

jfgibson73 A giant ape escapes from a ship and destroys a city. That's about it.I've read that this is a Korean made movie that tried to make money as a King Kong ripoff. Some of the stories about how this movie was made are more entertaining than watching the actual movie. Anyone who sits through this today could only be interested in the camp value, and there are a number of moments to laugh at. The movie has every problem that is generally associated with bad movies, such as bad dubbing, terrible dialog, stilted acting, and poor effects. What takes the fun out of the movie are the long stretches of repetitive or stagnant shots. For example, when the ape fights the shark, he swings it back and forth for what feels like five minutes straight. A guy in a bad ape costume with a dead shark. Swinging it around. Over and over. So for that reason, I would not want to sit through this one again. I had to watch it once, all the way through, just because of some strange fascination with how inept everything was. This might actually be the worst movie ever.

slideon A*P*E is both stupid and follows the King Kong storyline, and is probably the worst movie I have ever seen.Everything from King Kong and even Godzilla is copied by A*P*E. 1 - The ape escapes from an oil tanker. 2 - Giant footprints are found. 3 - They want to show the Ape off to the public. 4 - Ape kidnaps girl. 5 - Girl feels somehow attracted to the Ape. 6 - Army attacks Ape.Besides having a duplicate plot, A*P*E has many technical problems as well.1 - The Ape is 36 feet tall, but the shark and snake are the size of him. 2 - He towers over buildings, but he's 36 feet tall. 3 - The Ape throws the snake at the camera, knocking it down. 4 - You can see the Ape actor's shirt underneath the costume. 5 - Tons of plastic toys in this film.And you can tell the actor who played the Ape is pretty angry over him playing the role. He flips off the camera at one point.A*P*E fails as a movie, but as a comedy, it's really good. Get a bunch of friends and do a MST3K kind of thing.

LaserPoint Despise the crappy special effects, the poor acting and the repetitive stock footage Ape will always be a fun b-grade comedy that is crazily enjoyable on so many levels. The story starts out on a toy boat with 2 sailors talking about what there going to do with this 36 foot tall monster. We then see the Ape break loss and crash the boat, he then swims out to the ocean and fights a giant shark but the shark doesn't attack since its not really a shark its just a play toy in which the Ape throws around and wrestle with. Ape then invades land and scares children, fights a giant snake, and trashes down buildings oh and I forgot to mention that he even give the finger to a plane oh and he even dances to music for some strange reason. So as you can see there's plenty of fun yet there's plenty of long, boring and pointless scenes which might annoy the average viewers but hang in there, when Ape's on screen nothings funnier..Ape is also available in 3D so catch that version if you can..

warlorde I must confess to liking giant monster movies, but this film is really just plain awful! Bad special effects, even worse acting, silly premise. By the way that big snake would be considered a monster! Anyway painful as it was I made it through to the end. I chuckled a few times while watching this mess, just not believing what I'm seeing or hearing.1 out of 10, for bad movies beware 5 out of 10. Suffer with me.
