It’s “King Kong” with a brain, times one hundred. Graphically, these monkeys are more real than anything we’ve seen before, as illustrated in the trailer’s final, stunning shot. That was also true of “Wizard of Oz” in its time. Only what made the latter a classic were the rich characters, a creative plot and timeless themes, all of which this clumsily titled film, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” lacks, if its trailer is any indication.
