Greatest Planet of the Apes Sequel?

Are you serious?


'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings.

Beneath was the worst one, it was the only one i had to force myself through, escape was weird but entertaining, Conquest was just a bit boring for me, Battle had the best story out of the sequels, it just had terribly poor execution


Enough is enough! I have had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday thru Friday plane!

conquest was the best!! "battle for the planet of the apes" is ranked the worse of the 5 ape movies by most critics!

damn right its the darkest, parents grabbed their kids and went running out of the theater

No doubt Conquest is the best based on the darkness of the script. As I see it, Pota is the best, then Conquest, then Escape, Beneath, and Battle just shouldn't have been made.

I like Conquest because there is one main nemesis who very much like Darth Vader leafs around the sheep to do his bidding. He's intelligent, and he's the one with the plan that backfires due to his own trust in those he believes are slaves to his commands.

Now, why Escape before Beneath? Hasslein! He's just as bad as Breck (or as good) because he's the only one intelligent enough to see the future and attempt to fix the issue before the world altering event can take place.

I felt Beneath fails partly because of Heston's wishes to not be in the movie as much as he should've been. Plus, the enemy while defined seemed very much like the Family from The Omega Man, but in reverse. They were intelligent but still prayed to a deity, the bomb. It made sense in TOM, but not here. They shouldn't have held to primitive notions like a belief system.

Conquest was the best because it had the most apes in it. Escape was the worst because it had the least amount of apes in it

Without a doubt, it's Conquest.

Escape is nothing more than a slapstick version of the first film.

ESCAPE
CONQUEST
BATTLE
BENEATH

IMHO, "Escape" is by far the best of the sequels. It was sort of the "Star Trek IV" of the Apes movies, warm and funny and set in the time of its filming (though ultimately with an unhappy ending, unlike "Star Trek IV"). "Beneath" was marred by the overlong and, in my opinion, pointless bomb-worshipping sequence (complete with the gross-out scene in which the humans remove their masks, which is like something out of "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom") and the underground humans' bizarre decision that because they couldn't fool the apes with a bunch of elaborate, scary illusions, they couldn't just hide the entrance to their cave network. Like someone earlier in this thread commented, "Conquest" had a 20-minute plot that was inflated to two hours. "Battle" isn't a bad movie, but by then the series had run out of steam.
