First two movies were good, third was meh but it wrapped up the story. Does anyone even care now that Cesar is gone?
shareThis feels unnecessary to me, but it is predicted to do well at the box office.
shareI do, they are setting it CENTURIES later, so we are FINALLY getting an ACTUAL "Planet of the Apes".
If they announced this was a direct sequel to "War" and just picked up a few years later in yet another localized community where modern day humans fight intelligent talking Apes, I'd be like "meh, no thanks".
But THIS looks great!
NOT REALLY...I LIKED THE LAST ONE BUT DIDN'T GET AROUND TO WATCHING IT UNTIL A YEAR OR TWO AFTER IT CAME OUT...TOO MANY APES FOR ME.
shareI'm interested in seeing it. What has happened now that the apes have been ruling for a few centuries?
Like ReelReviews said, now it really is a planet of the apes.
I just saw it at the cinema, so I guess I am.
shareIt's made more money than The Fall Guy at the moment. It appears that way so far.
shareEvery time I see a new POTA movie being released, I'm amazed they're still making these things, and that anybody still wants to see them. I lost interest after 1968.
share>> I lost interest after 1968. <<
That's odd. Planet of the Apes in 1968 was a landmark film and a smashing success, so its not surprising it immediately spawned a sequel. Despite the second movie (Beneath the Planet of the Apes) being one of the worst ones, excitement was HUGE for the second film and it also was a box office hit. People were curious what would happen to Taylor next, and they used Charlton Heston's glorified cameo to get butts in the movie theater seats, and that gimmick worked.
I could see losing interest in the franchise in the early 70s, it was clear they were out of ideas by the fifth film.
I was also convinced the 2001 remake had effectively killed the franchise forever. I was shocked when they resurrected it a decade later, and in a way that I would have never anticipated.
I care. Just saw this one, It was pretty good. I hope they make more.
