How did tim burton go that low? - Planet of the Apes Reviews

Duh, how did I went through this movie to the end, I don't know. Frankly, I did not expect much, but I should've expected even lower. No point about commenting the acting, it is absent. The script is poor and predictable, and only a few elements of the story raise a slight bit of interest before the end. The hero does nothing at all but all of a sudden he his the famous human mysterious "trouble-maker". The visuals are of the level of a low-budget B-movie. The apes look like puppets here and like actors with bad make-up there. The settings are quite uninspired. I recommend avoiding this movie.

Nothing but violence - Planet of the Apes Reviews

If Tim Burton wanted to make a remake he should have done better. the story is yet alone not faithful to the original series. the ending is too inaccurate. the series was so much better. and humans can even talk i mean come on. you should watch the series not this remake.

Planet of the apes? yeah right. - Planet of the Apes Reviews

Without a doubt on of the poorest efforts in cinema's history with few exeptions. A non-stop dissapointment with very few interesting moments in the entire picture. The storyline is very different than the original, and certainlly not in a good way. Basis, Mark Whalberg travels through some kinda time warp, chasing after a monkey, and crashes into the planet of the apes. Stupid, but not the worst part by far. He is discovered, captured, escapes, journeys far away, Intises a revolution, wages a war against the captures of humanity, teaches the morals of socioty to both man and ape, is rescued by his chimp companion, travels back to his original point in time and lands in modern America, in a land ruled by apes. Without recite the script line for line, it would be difficult to piece this together any better. Whilst the visuals are not as bad as you would have expected when taking the acting for example, the storyline and casting are both remarkablly laughable. Further proof that an all-star cast cannot save this movie from itself or from a demanding audince of bored amatuer film critics. Dreadfull, with little dispute.

Yeah yeah yeah - Planet of the Apes Reviews

Sure it's visually entertaining, has a great story-line, good acting and directing. Unfortunately the sole best part of this movie was the visuals. The story was what the movie was all about when it should have been more centered around the action and drama, then it would've been better (I like movies that stick to the plot, but this movie didn't have too good of one to begin with). There should've been something a bit more faithful to the original than a monkey getting shot into a time-vortex and the guy following it. Overall I really didn't like this movie that much. I did like the original because of its originality, but overall "The Planet of the Apes"'s death was only prolonged by this horrid remake.

B-o-r-i-n-g!!! - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This movie was so utterly boring, I couldnt stay awake! I dont understand what could go wrong with this film. The original was so amazing, so interesting, and so fun to watch! It's a classic! But this movie was down-right awful! I like Tim Burton (the director) and I like Mark Wahlburg (the main actor in the film) but I hated this movie! The only thing that kept me from giving this movie an F is the make-up, costume design, and the credible visuals. Rarly do I ever dislike a movie so much that I would fall asleep, but this one was so unimaginative to bear! I got excited when I heard that a remake to Planet of the Apes was going to be made, but when I saw this movie I was MAJORLY disappointed!!! If you are a fan of the series, DO NOT under any circumstances see this movie!

Why bother - Planet of the Apes Reviews

Why bother? When you remake a movie and make it better, I would rate it an "A". When you remake a movie and its the same, I would rate it a "C". When you remake a movie and make it worse, I would rate it a "F". I would also ask "why bother"? They took a great movie and made it stupid, stupid, stupid. If people can talk, why are the apes in charge? Don't change something just to change something.

Better than the originals - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This was much than I expected. Even better than the originals. I can't wait till the second one comes out.

The best - Planet of the Apes Reviews

Love the movie. Wish they hurry and make the next one.Don't know why they have not yet.It was the best.

Watch the original! - Planet of the Apes Reviews

Don't waste your time with this re-make of Planet of the Apes. Watch the original with Charlton Heston to see great acting! The only scene that had any merit in this re-make film was with Charlton Heston in it. This film does not hold a candle to the original.

Will there be a sequel? - Planet of the Apes Reviews

yeah, i like this movie...haven't really seen any of the old planet of the apes movies... will there be a sequel? i am very interested in seeing it... MR.c

Awsome good everything!!! - Planet of the Apes Reviews

NOW! LOL

Good. - Planet of the Apes Reviews

I liked this movie. This movie tells the story of an astronaut who landed on a planet full of apes and rescuing a bunch of humans being captive of the apes. The battle between ape and human had begun and the humans have won the battle. The apes and humans lived together peacefully on the ape planet. The astronaut played by MArk Wahlberg, went back to earth but he discovered that it's now a planet filled with apes. The ending is way off but the rest of the movie is pretty good, where Mark Wahlberg battles the apes with Estella Warren. Michael Clarke Duncan makes a pretty good gorilla. Tim Burton did a fine job with the direction of the movie. I liked this movie.

Why, tim burton, why? - Planet of the Apes Reviews

I do not understand Hollywood's constant need to redo movies that are classic. Check that - money- that's why they do it I guess. Anyway this movie is a mess from start to finish. This is probably an anti-Tim Burton film, although the talented man did direct it. The only redeeming factor of the movie is Tim Roth's performance, as the vicious general of the Ape Army. Don't waste your time or money with this one.

Wy - Planet of the Apes Reviews

Wy do they have to remake every movie of anyworth, and completely trash it, they do it with everything, Superman, Batman, Breakfast at Tiffanys, with a different name, Planet of the Apes, they do it with everything, and wy did they have to give it to some great actors, and a great director, and make them flounder, till even they look bad.

Panet of the apes - Planet of the Apes Reviews

Lets be honest. The script is just plain awful, its tedious and unexciting. The acting is slightly better, but the movies' best actor, Paul Giamanti, is a small charecter. The movie seems to start and end in the same place, but the war scenes are only fair at the least.

Ape mad!!!!! - Planet of the Apes Reviews

I be ape man and dis movie me not like. It given a bad name to all we apes. Dem humans try to cageum us but dey gonna gets dere but woped. Go apes WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP. Let us trow da poo at da humans.

It needs a sequel to get a 10 from me - Planet of the Apes Reviews

I loved this movie but the way they ended it sucked and Tim Burton said he is not going to make another movie. What the heck! The cast for this movie is great with Mark Wahlberg, Paul Giamatti, Michael Clarke Duncan & Tim Roth leading the way. If you like the old movies you will love this movie because it has better visuals and better acting. Mark Wahlberg Rules!

Disappointment - Planet of the Apes Reviews

if anyone else had directed this film, it would have recieved an a- but i expected tim burton to do far better.

I thougth it was oaky - Planet of the Apes Reviews

it wasn't that great as i thougthit would be, because at the end when the guy lands in the ape's time-line again, onl ythis time more around, th e human time, it was a little off because it in stantly ended when the apes captured mike. i think that's a sign of a sequel

Not like the old ones.... - Planet of the Apes Reviews

Overall "Planet of the Apes" is a good movie.TO said the truth I expected something better.Mark Wahlberg, in my opinion, was not the best actor for this movie.

Slavery - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This is what life would b if slavery was reversed. thank god we whites got it rite the first time. The wal-mart people were right, apes and blacks look alike. LET'S GO WALMART!!!!

Good movie - Planet of the Apes Reviews

I think this type of movies are worth watching. They make us analyze our roles in this planet as humans. It's a great criticism on humanity. If you like movies that make you think, watch this movie.

Hey!... good movie! - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This movie's good. I'm not jokin'. It's a good movie. You know why? Do you want to know why? Cause I said so.

A successful remake - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This movie is one I would consider a successful remake. Very few remakes pull off the retelling of the original story successfully but this one does. In this remake is the same premise of an astronaut landing on Ape world. While Ape world was in the 40th century in the original, Ape world in this one is another planet or so it seems. Although the astronaut doesn't discover the remains of the Statue of Liberty and grieves the loss of his society, the astronaut here does find himself in Ape world's version of the Lincoln Memorial at what he thought was Washington D. C. Overall this movie is a successful remake and I highly recommend it for any video library.

I simply like it - Planet of the Apes Reviews

In spite of all those critics i found this movie very entertaining. I specially like the way that the apes appear...i remember the behaviour of many pple...very egotistical and ridiculous. Its a good movie.

Pretty cool movie - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This movie is pretty darn cool. There's only one thing that really annoyed me. All the monkey people looked really fake, and one looked like Mikel Jackson. But the story is still pretty good.

Realy good movie. - Planet of the Apes Reviews

I liked at last scene lincon was a ape. Not just that when the maincharactor comes back to earth, the generation has been change. realy good movie.

Great adventure, underrated by critics - Planet of the Apes Reviews

A lot of fun to watch, left you wanting a sequal. Great special effects. I never saw the original before this movie which I think made this a more pleasant movie to watch than it was for others.

I luvvv this movie - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This movie has a very simple plot but it is very entertaining. But then again this is coming from somone who loves the the Time Machine (the newer version). I basically love all movies that involve time travel and creatures. I love the visuals, the acting and the fact that the Apes looked kind of scary (not that scary though). In addition, the ending was cool too.

A+ tim burton can't go wrong - Planet of the Apes Reviews

I might seem somewhat biased as a Burtonite but this was truly a wonderful film. Like most of tim burton's work it was gorgeously visously stunning without using to much CgI and using Rick Baker for the makeup wich is absoluetly astonishingly real. If that isn't allready enought to make the movie great the acting is top-natch especially TIm Roth and Michael Clarke-Duncan. The story was cleverly crafted, especially for a remake. ANd it had one great suprise ending, that would be possible for a sequael but a sequel would seem to far of a stretch, a sequel of a remake is kindda bad deja vu.

This rules! they need to make a sequel! - Planet of the Apes Reviews

you cant end a movie like they did at the end of this movie and not make another one. Its just like Godzilla. MAKE A SEQUEL! MAKE A SEQUEL! Tim Burton is a great director.

Welcome to the planet of the apes - Planet of the Apes Reviews

one great movie by tim burton. the story was great. the make up of the apes was incredible. the acting was great especially tim roth.

Rule the planet. - Planet of the Apes Reviews

I enjoyed the film for its action sequences and the dark spots in between the film. The movie got a fair grade from me, but its not a movie that I would probably buy anytime soon. This is a movie to watch to kill some time.

Awesome - Planet of the Apes Reviews

I thought that this was an awesome movie. The acting and the visual effects were very good. Mark Wahlberg did a great job.

Apes in washington d.c?? - Planet of the Apes Reviews

Everyone was curious, how would it compare to Charlton Heston's original version? Well the answer is simple. This Marky-Mark version is just pathetic. The makeup was cool, but it stops there. The acting was poor, and now that I think about it, I don't want to waste my time writing a review on this movie anymore. Happy watching.

Planet of the apes - Planet of the Apes Reviews

Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes really sucked! He did a better job on directing this time, unlike Batman.Planet of the Apes was a bad re-make. I saw this movie at the theater when it first came out, I liked the original, but this one was just terrible!!! I hated it! Batman was, actually Beetlejuice is far better than this dumb stupid re-make!!

Very good movie - Planet of the Apes Reviews

i dont understand why there are so many bad reviews for this. It was a good movie that starred 3 great actors including mark wahlberg, michael clarke duncan and paul giamatti. Excellent visuals!

Not bad - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This wasn't the best movie that I've seen but it is okay.Tim Burton is a pretty good director.The acting is okay and so is the story.The special effects were pretty good.I hope I spelt the name right.This movie is kind of worth seeing."Planet of the Apes" fans might like it but I havn't seen any other ones so I wouldn't know.

This movie was really good - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This movie was good. It put the first one to shame but other than that this movie rocked. It was a fast paced action that told a story that was a great and compeling story. I was really suprised because of the great story, and acting. Tim Burton still has not found himself as a director. He does not know what to do right. The best thing he has done was Sleepy Hollow. I just think that he should do something that fits his name. The visuals were not all that great ether. I was very dissapointed on that issue it was not really good at all. They looked like clamation thats all I'm saying.

Planet of the apes - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This movie was pretty cool! The story was great and very Tim Burton-ish. The visuals were stunning. I felt that the creators didnt want to stress with this movie so there is action but not a lot of it. Its a good movie though.

Tim, what happened? - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This is what happens when Tim Burton meets Hollywood. Being one of the most inspirational/creative directors in the biz I guess you can afford a stupid movie every once in a while. Why in the hell did anyone cast Wahlberg in this movie? Word is that Matt Damon was the origional lead guy pursued for this role. He might have brought some reality to the character. Markie is off the mark. Helena Bonham Carter was captivating. Tim Roth was good, as always. Can't stand a table with one leg. I never bought into what was happening on the screen. It's okay Timmy, use your milligan on this one. I blame corporate fakists of Hollywood for this one. I'll always see your movies opening night.

Classic remake - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This is a reamke of a old classic from a long time ago.The whole conceptr is a great idea.The costunes are really great.But the acting in this movie could be a little better.Overall it is a good remake and they did a great job bringing a old movie back to life.

Wahlberg should get a razzie - Planet of the Apes Reviews

I liked this movie, I thought it was creative, good action, good story, good plot, blah blah blah. My one problem was Mark Wahlberg. This was by far one of the worst performances that I've seen, and he should really stop while he's ahead. He didn't know what the hell he was doing, he's just some pretty boy onscreen for 2 hours while the apes do all the good work. AND THE RAZZIE FOR WORST ACTOR GOES TO...MARK WAHLBERG!!! CONGRATULATIONS YOU SUCK!

Why don't critics appreciate this film? - Planet of the Apes Reviews

CNN, E!Online, and even Roger Ebert did not like the remake of Planet of the Apes. Thanks to all of you who appreciate all of Tim Burton's films as much as I do, including this movie. I've never seen a Tim Burton film I din't like. But I wonder why Mark Wahlberg was chosen for the main role. That's not a mistake; he was great, but I would have expected someone else. I'm only 13, so I didn't see the entire old version of Planet of the Apes, though I've seen a little bit of it. This new version was directed by Tim Burton, who directed it beautifuly. It's about a man(Mark Wahlberg) who works at a space station and goes off into space to find the escape pod that carries one of the test monkies named Semo, but the man gets lost and goes through a time portal, then crashes on a world run by apes who capture humans and torture them. Obviously, these apes rule the world. The man escapes with the help of a caring female ape, along with some other humans, including a woman who's father is killed by the head ape. Now the apes are after them. The greatest scene is at the end, when there's a huge war between the Native American-like humans and the apes. I only recognize the voice of one of these apes, who is the head ape's assistant, played by Michael Clark Duncan(who played John Coffee in The Green Mile). I don't see why many people didn't like this film. It is a great Tim Burton film, along with the breath-taking special effects. Burton's latest film, Big Fish, was probably the best film he ever made, but I'm not so sure. I can't wait for his next project. But I'm still glad I saw Planet of the Apes. You will be, too.

Plant of the apes - Planet of the Apes Reviews

i think the movie should win oscar arwards because it is a great moive for me and my brothers and sisters. my brother thinks it was the best movie ever with Mark Wahlberg as a great actor. i think leo(MARK Wahlberg)is cute.

Barely worth it - Planet of the Apes Reviews

To me only the soundtrack and the action scenes make this film worth watching. Other than that there isn't much else. The acting really stinks for most of the actors especially Walhberg. So much of it doesn't make sense like if the humans can think and talk and act like us nowadays then what stops them from having one strong leader to lead an uprising? Uh huh sure. So see this film if you got a free rental and saw every other film in Blockbuster.

"b" - Planet of the Apes Reviews

i thought this was a very good movie, but i thought the acting was kind of on the weak side..the story and direction flowed very well. i would recommend seeing this movie.

Pierre boulle - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This was the most disappointing film of 2001. I disliked it because the financial backing was available to do this film correctly, but they choose to do a mix from the book and the 1968 film. The reason the 1968 film was shot with a primitive ape society and not a modern 20th century society, was that the money was not available to make the film true to the novel. So for budget purposes they made the stone homes, horses, ect.. Tim Burton could have made an incredible film, but he chose not to. The morals from the novel would have been brilliant to include in the film. In the book, the apes take one of the humans into a lab, and using electrodes on her brain are able make her speak and talk about her ancestors and the fall of human civilization. How humanity became so dependent on servant apes that when the apes rebelled, the humans ran or became servant/pets for the apes. Even more fasinating in the book was how one character was able to rise above the ape view of humans and even rise to celebrity status, while the professor gave up his individuality and stayed in a cage, ate, slept and did not speak, he surrendered. A fascinating contrast of human reactions to a similar enviroment. Please do this movie over, and use the novel as the screenplay, it is perfect. There are so many important messages that can be made doing this film correctly. And it would be much more entertaining and enjoyable for audiences. And please use better actors, very disappointing casting for the film.

Not as good as expected - Planet of the Apes Reviews

Planet of the Apes had such a big deal made about it. In my opinoin it didn't live up too all it's hype. Grade: Good, but a little bit of a let down.

It was ok - Planet of the Apes Reviews

I liked this movie because of the originals... To much action not enough story line. Sure i though it was worthy of my $5.00, but it was not as good as the originals.

A good version - Planet of the Apes Reviews

I think this movie is good because the apes look more real. But I think it can not beat the (1968)version.

What about this show...... - Planet of the Apes Reviews

I thought that it was an okay movie. The acting wasnt all that great but the songs were awesome. My winter guard thought that it was good enough to use for our show so that's got to count for something. lol!

Good remake - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This remake was just as good as the old one, if not better. It just makes for a good story and all. The new ness of it juts makes it look all so good and that is what I have to say.

A masterpiece - Planet of the Apes Reviews

This movie is outstanding. Tim Burton managed to recreate the classic movies and direct a thrilling, actionpacked adventure combined with wonderful still moments and emotional highs. The Oscar-worthy visual effects and make-up are just phenomenal. I really don't understand so many people complaining about this movie. It's perfect entertainment and an intriguing and exciting expierience that just grasps the viewer and puts him into another world. Burton's "Planet Of The Apes" was one of the best theatrical experiences in my life and the DVD is among the most priceless in my collection. A true masterpiece.

A great remake - Planet of the Apes Reviews

To be honest i have to tell you that i hate remakes. I feel that if then story has already been made into a movie than it shouldn't be used again. However, i think that this planet of the Apes is much better than the original movie, using lots of action and all star make up.

The story is damn good! - Planet of the Apes Reviews

The story the, direction=perfect.I could not dream of a better movie to see. It was quiet unique about the story about how he traveled in time. And the end, it was quiet interasting how the movie ended, too.

One of the best movies ever - Planet of the Apes Reviews

mam oh man it have to be the best movie ever because one of the most beatiful, sexy and hot hot hot hot hot hot sexy ***** is in the movie. estella warren i want to marry you.

A really awesome remake of a classic - Planet of the Apes Reviews

hey, this movie was awesome i thought. the apes were great looking. the cast was perfect, visuals were great, i really love this movie!
