If I recall correctly you like the final original one more than I do (campy fun, but that's about it), but Conquest is amazingly good.

lmao marky mark

What no fans of Orangutan Paul Giamatti out here?

Beneath the Planet of the Apes is the first original sequel and is quite quite bad.

The other original sequels are actually pretty good, so I'll hand it to them there.

The one thing I'll say for the Burton film is both Helena Bonham Carter and Michael Clarke Duncan are excellent as apes

"Because I loathe bananas" is one of the greatest lines in cinematic history.

The ending of Burton's still makes me angry.

I remember just feeling baffled, like what are we trying to say even happened?

I have tried hard to black out everything about it. And yet Star Trek: Into Darkness was even worse.

Much worse

On the bright side, apparently Mark Wahlberg dropped out of Ocean's Eleven in order to make it and was replaced by Matt Damon, so he wasn't able to ruin that franchise before it got off the ground.

A friend was mad they didn't name the monument "Ape-raham Lincoln"

The ending slightly redeems the movie, because you think you've been watching a really bad movie, but it turns out you were just watching a moderately bad SNL sketch

I loved it. Sorry

I went to see that movie in theaters with my dad, who, at the very end, just turned to me and said “That was fucking stupid” before walking out.

That was how the book ended.

Ugh, I had forgotten about Ape Lincoln

It forced 20th Century Fox to include an explainer in the DVD case, so if you had never seen it before, the ending - which stinks! - was spoiled for you.

"Hey apes, whas goin' on? You like Fascism? I produce Entourage. Say hi to yah mutha fah me."

Don’t they guest star on Scooby Doo?
