Of the of the of the.
The Apes movie Tim Burton made was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
This trailer is awful. An ape super-leaping and taking out a helicopter? LOL.
like every planet of the apes movie, it needs way more breakdancing dr zaius
I sat through the horrible Burton remake, I'll sit through this one as well. My expectations have been set very low.
It's kind of funny that a single 1 minute skit in an otherwise mediocre episode of The Simpsons is better than everything else ever done with this franchise combined.
BRING ME THE SPACEMAN!Quote:

I watched them during a marathon on AMC. I really like the first one. This one is kind of like... i Robot meets Deep Blue Sea.
1) This medical treatment wouldn't be something that could effect gametes so the children of these apes wouldn't be as smart as them.
2) Everything else that's wrong with that trailer.
They played this a total of 6 times on the flight to and from Europe when I was 16.Quote:

The first Planet of the Apes flick is great. The late 60's through the 70's produced a lot of great (and bizarre) sci-fi.
The Tim Burton Apes film is like shitting glass.
Looks so stupid. Will probably make a 100 million dollars though.
If the apes aren't guys in rubber suits, this movie can go fuck itself.
So if the apes are guys in rubber suits, they can fuck... you?
The ending is right there in the title...
Rise of Planet of the Apes

I've seen two trailers and know about 98% of the plotline.
Gorillas are sword-proof...well, except the tops of their heads. Finally, a movie got it right!Quote:

Saw this last night. Very entertaining. Well-paced story, good character development and action. You definitely get attached to Caesar. I also thought they did a good job of tying in Heston's future character and explaining what happens to humans.
I keep hearing great things, and Steph actually wants to see this (She loves the Planet of the Apes, figure that shit out). Maybe I'll get a babysitter and check this tonight.
I don't think you'll be disappointed. I'm a cynic when it comes to movies and I left the theater pleased with how they explained the rise of the planet of the apes.
I just can't get in to the theme of this movie. I find it so unbelievably stupid.
I don't believe any of this.Quote:

I was watching the trailer and just couldn't believe that these idiot apes screaming and hopping over cars could take over the world when the humans are fighting them from helicopters and shit. Even one motherfucker with a flame thrower and they're screwed.
Same here.Quote:

But Piranha has marvelous tits and a lot of tongue-in-cheek fun in it (THEY TOOK MY PENIS) so I know they're just goofin' around. Yet everyone seems to think Planet of the Apes is deep and meaningful.Quote:

I like implausable monkey carnage!
Leave your monkey baggage at the monkey door, IMO.
Well, all I can say is, "Watch the movie, then tell me if I'm talking out of my butt."Quote:

The answer was laid out in a logical/plausible manner (given the circumstances in the movie). They also successfully (imo) tied in the future role of Charlton Heston's character in the original PotA.
Yet you have no problem with 50 machine guns being fired at Arnold in Commando and all of them missing? Realism? Really? :)Quote:

I enjoyed the old-school ones as well, even though pretty much every installment after the original got more and more retarded as they went on. But there's something to be said about late 60's/70's era sci-fi...it was really fucking weird, yet kinda cool and imaginative in a way that most modern flicks almost never are anymore.
Yea, I can see enjoying dumb shit like this if they played it like that and showed tits all over the place. When it's trying to be serious business... no thanks. Cowboys & Aliens is the same thing. Why no serious?Quote:

How's the monkeymayhem?
More than likely 'apetastic'.
Or perhaps "simianal".
I'LL CUT YOU.Quote:

Same. A lot of movies this year have been wait and see OnDemand for me.Quote:

Like what you want. BUT I WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT IT IF I DON'T AGREE.
OK SUZY!
Saw it last night and thought it was pretty good.
Yeah, saw it as well. A lot of great moments, if only for the staging. Some of the CG in the beginning looked a little cartoonish, but it was great later on. Maybe the only prequel I've ever liked!
Saw it because a bunch of my friends wanted to. Its pretty good and competently made, but what you see is what you get, kind of like the first Iron Man movie.
My biggest issue with it was that they had a very unique opportunity to do some fantastic and creative violence but they didn't take that route.
I caught this before it was out of theaters and really enjoyed it. I thought it was going to be stupid but some of my friends insisted and I am glad that they did. It was very "Hollywood" and they could've done a better job with the ending, but outside of that it was a pretty solid film. The entire story had a pretty tragic overtone and while some of the science may have seemed far fetched, well, it's only a movie.
