Planet of the Apes

Pros: The incredible acting of Paul Giamatti, and the make up on the apes.
Cons: Plot, script, and acting.

Who hasn’t heard of Planet of the Apes by now? All of the stars that are in the movie have been on all of the late night talk shows, and you will see a preview for the movie almost everywhere you look. Not to mention the excellent reviews that the...

Pros: The cinematography is technically superior.
Cons: This movie has remake written all over it!

My title comes from one of the Apes lines in the trailer for the movie, “Planet of the Apes.” After braving through the long line at Lenox Square United Artists Theater in Atlanta, Georgia, I was ready to see the latest "Planet of the Apes". I really...

Pros: Acting, Special Effects, Sound Effects, Plot, I could go on for days
Cons: Nothing and I mean nothing and not that I cant think of any Cons

Want free Movies for a Year? Free money?? 2005 GET PAID TO SURF THAT WORKS!!!!!! http://www.studiotraffic.com/i ndex.php?refid=363551 See my favorite WEBSITES. 2001 has been one of the hugest breakout years in movies ever and I am glad ...

Pros: Helena Bonham Carter, great looking film
Cons: Otherwise it's inferior to the 1968 original

I'll give Tim Burton a little credit for his interpretation of "Planet Of The Apes." He, at least, didn't remake the 1968 version in the way most directors feel compelled to do remakes. Burton did create a different sort of ape planet in his version....

Pros: Decent story, well paced, great makeup
Cons: Hot girl with very minor part. Ear piercing ape screams

Planet of The Apes, you know it, you've heard about it, seen the ads, maybe even seen the original, will you go see the new one?

Well, I finally made my way to the theater, plunked down my unearned $8.25 and got to be entertained for a...

Pros: The makeup looks okay, I guess.
Cons: The film fails on every level imaginable.

Why, god? Why did I do this to myself? Ah, I remember. I said I'd review all the Planet of the Apes movies. "You do realize what this entails, don’t you?" my inner self said, on that faithful eve. "Of course - that means that I have to ...

Pros: Good costuming, lots of action, interesting story.
Cons: This is not a true "remake" of the original.

Last Friday night I happened to get tickets to go see the new-and-improved Planet of the Apes. It was opening night, and needless to say, the theater was sold out. Apparently all the hype compounded with the fans of the original Planet of the...

Pros: Not much to boast about.
Cons: Not believable or enjoyable; not even the makeup.

It’s an Abomination! Truly worst Movie of the Year! That was the first title I was thinking about for this review.... Can you tell how clearly disappointing this movie was to me?

I REALLY wanted to like the new Planet of the...

Pros: Great cast, amazing makeup effects, Charleton Heston cameo
Cons: Some apes should have died more easily in one part

Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes is not a remake of the original. Therefore, if you have seen the original, you aren't going to be much better off than anyone who hasn't, and the ending is even more suprising than that of the original.

In this...

Pros: Unlike anything you've seen before. Mean and tough.
Cons: It's fine.

God bless you Tim Burton. You have at last delivered the summer blockbuster that everyone so badly deserves. Burton, you've not only made yet another bizarrely classic film to add to your wonderful repertoire, you've also managed to create one of the...

Pros: Excellent production values for the most part, some fine acting, good script.
Cons: B-movie directing concepts.

I actually was pleasantly surprised by the 2001 version of the B-movie classic Planet of the Apes. I wasn't expecting much, but there is plenty in this rendition that is worth the admission price.

Plot summary

Mark...

Pros: Fantastic sets and makeup, great effects, spectacular battle scenes.
Cons: Little plot.

I just got in from seeing Tim Burton’s version of Planet of the Apes, and already I’ve noticed three reviews posted about the film in the “Just In” section. Of course I’m not surprised since this is sure to be a popular film, so without further ...

Pros: Great production design. Paul Giamatti.
Cons: Confused story telling. Poor pacing. Mark Wahlberg.

I finally returned home to Chateau Maine, my lovely mansion high in the Hollywood hills, just in time for Hallowe'en. I was much too exhausted to attend Cyd Charisse's annual costume extravaganza and absolutely no time to throw together the four or five...

Pros: Special effects make-up
Cons: Everything else

Half way through this very tired and ill-written rendition of classic Planet of the Apes directed by Tim Burton, I almost turned it off so strong was the smell of garbage oozing from the 32 inch screen in my living room. But being the dedicated...

Pros: It has an ending.
Cons: The ending.

Oh lordy. Just when I thought Pearl Harbor was this summer's turd-a-palooza, along comes this saga of simian silliness. This was worse than slipping on a banana peel.

Let's start with the obvious. Despite cameos by Charlton Heston...
