Another depressing chapter. The monkeys are a piss poor substitute for minorities.


Another "Black Mirror" feed of hopelessness. Who the fuck needs that in their life? They should make "hero gets the girl after some intense shit" movies again and cut the dramatic dystopian BS.

It is amazing how joyless this whole series has been. The originals were made at a small fraction of the budgets of these, but had so much more life in them.

I think this is something different again though - not connected to the last trilogy as far as I recall.

That sounds even worse. But lets give it the benefit of the doubt.

reply

Totally.
I was not into the sequels, but the original movie was so unique at the time, kind of like Alien. So popular for being kind of goofy as it was, but it had something timeless.

reply

I enjoyed these remakes (if only from a technical standpoint...'DAWN' being my favourite)
But yes, they really piled the analogy on so thick...that frankly they just gave up masking such, by the time 'WAR' came along.

I walked out on "War" as it was just too gnarly

Wuut?

Oh look, another useless scrote who pretends to cares about racism and degrades women in the same sentence! We are not even human to the penis people.

Penis People are from Planet Pluto.

More trash leaving the audience screaming….”damn you all to hell!”

I said in regards to the previous 3 movies, the special effects keep getting better with each movie, but the fun and enjoyment levels keep getting less. So at least at worst we'll get some nice visuals to look at.
