Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Hopefully this surpasses other recent efforts to resurrect POTA or at least equals the genius of Matt Groening.
I feel more like I do now than I did before.
I'm really looking forward to it, simply based on the fact that I'd love to see where they go this time. I was afraid no one would want to touch the saga again after Tim Burton's fiasco. It's great that the apes are starting out on a more primal level rather than just looking like some kind of monkey/human combo immediately.

The special effects are doo doo from what I've seen.
Big suck fest.

What the hell went wrong there, by the way? Why did he take that project? Did they put Helena in monkey makeup and refuse to let her out of it until he threw-together a movie? And force him not to do any Tim Burton stuff? Where the hell were the sand worms?
Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
I liked the Wahlberg version of the film.
I'd like to see this, but I just look for an excuse to go to the cinema.
I'm a really anti-Tim burton guy though. So glad to see this is hopefully good
You look like the type of guy / gal, who would like:
Tim Burton hasn't made a good movie since Ed Wood.

Hahaha, I'm under the assumption that he loved the original, but if he really loved it, shouldn't he have tried to stay true to it rather than eff it up? I have a hard time remembering when listing his movies that this is one of them simply because of how un-Burton-like it is. And that ending... ugh... I still try to come up with explanations for it and feel like I'm nowhere closer to understanding what the hell happened there.

I seem to remember reading an interview where he said he wasn't that big a fan of the original.
He also said he hated the Gene Wilder version of Willy Wonka.
In short, fuck Tim Burton.
I'm pretty sure Roald Dahl didn't like the Gene Wilder version of Willy Wonka.

I doubt I'll rush out and see this, but I'm certainly more open to it than the Tim Burton version.
Ed Wood is most definitely the best film he's made. Sleepy Hollow and Big Fish weren't terrible though.
I had some girl who was telling me how awesome Tim Burton's poetry was and that it was twice as good as his latest films, I told her it must still fucking suck then.

My jaw just dropped open and my cigarette fell into my lap.
Just watched that trailer. How in the hell do they even call that a Planet of the Apes movie? It looks like some sequel some one write for Deep Blue Sea, only with monkeys instead of sharks, and they decided to just slap the Planet of the Apes logo on it to sell more tickets.
Still though, it wasn't a total waste, I did see on the link that they're thinking of doing American Gods as an HBO series. That could be good.

I WANT THIS SO BAD!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GIMME GIMME GIMME!!
GIVE IT A CHANCE NATE AND STOP NITPICKING
GIVE IT A CHANCE NATE AND STOP NITPICKING
It might be a pretty good movie but it sure ain't no Planet of the Apes movie. That's all I'm sayin'.
I don't think anyone expects it to top Rod Serling's pure awesomeness.

Dude.
When a girl tells you about her love of Tim Burton's poetry, she wants you to describe the dark miasma of your soul and then make your move.
Kids today.

Saw this the other day.
Pretty good. The CGI was kind of hit and miss. Astounding in some shots and just serviceable in others. Couple of big plot holes too. But overall it was a fun flick.
Only real problem was the movie came off as rather preachy to me. I don't know if I'm interpreting it wrong but it's entire message seemed to be "Animal testing is EVIL and humans are BASTARDS" and it kind of made me start to feel guilty about my own position on animal testing (For the record: While I don't support borderline inhumane practices like spraying chemicals in an animals eye just to see what happens, I do think it is necessary). I guess that means the movie was a success. Except right after seeing it I went online to see if they were hiring at the primate research center by me (For like, a security guard or something but they weren't any open positions) so maybe not.
Anyway, the whole thing gave me a pretty good idea for an Apes movie that I've started to outline. It's a standalone thing that fucks with the continuity of the other films which some might find blasphemous but whatever, it's just a for-fun project right now.
I'm watching the Tim Burton Planet of the Apes right now on FX and I think I would watch the new one. Tim Burton is so odd the way so many things in his movies are POINTY. Anyway, I'd probably see Justin's movie, too.
Just came back from the new one--it's a total downer. I really feel bad for the apes.
***there may be spoilers***
For me, they seemed to squash too much into a two hour movie--they successfully made Caesar into a sympathetic character, but almost all the humans, with the exception of Jacobs, are noticeably underdeveloped. The movie also clips along at a fast pace making major plot points feel underdeveloped.
***end of spoilers***
I have yet to see James Franco act well in a movie. The Spidermans are the first things that come to mind but I know I've seen him somewhere else too. He is really unbelievable.
But, overall, I liked it. There were a lot of great scenes that connect to the first couple movies. Fun movie that's worth the ticket price.
I hope I don't sound preachy--the person I went with was a big fan of the originals (he pointed out many of the links to the originals that I missed) and loved it--this is just my opinion.
i hope it's better than the Planet of The Apes, too many CGI now
Does everything have to be CGI? I miss the fake looking costumes and ape make-up. Sigh. I'll probably see this.
