    The ads claim it’s the best film in the franchise and I’m over here like “so far none of them have even come close to being as good as the original Charlton Heston film.”

        That movie has so many quotable lines.

        “It’s a madhouse! A madhouse!”

        “You did it. You finally did it. You blew it up! Damn you! Damn you all to hell!”

      The original is one of my favorite films. No question.

      Of the 3 reboots, all are honestly great. 2 and 3 are particularly good

        Thank you! I still rematch the reboots from time to time, I loved this series. It makes me extremely excited to see this newest one. Like where’s the reboot where a modern day citizen jumps through a wormhole and accidentally lands on a “planet of apes”?!?

      I don’t know, I thought the first one (rise was first right?) was actually pretty solid. The “take your stinkin paw off you damn dirty ape” scene was fantastic.

        “Rise of” was he first of the reboot… which was after the remake…which was the sixth movie or something.

      I’ve seen the Charlton Heston one, and the 2001 Mark Wahlberg one. The original was obviously better. I hadn’t seen any of the current cycle until I saw Kingdom last weekend. It was fine.

      I listened to a recap of the previous 3 films and it didn’t matter. Kingdom takes place “many generations” after the third movie so all the other characters are dead. Kingdom’s story works fine as a standalone film. It’s not amazing, but there’s nothing particularly awful about it. Now I’ll probably see the next couple, but they’re not high on my list.

        I liked Kingdom but it was weaker than the trilogy of movies that came before it.

        They're solid generic blockbuster action-ish movies. They're not amazing, but they're fun enough that I think they're worth a watch if you can't decide what to watch one night.

      I genuinely had no idea there were more than the original lol

      Well, I guess that’s testament to how well they’ve done.

    I honestly can’t keep track of which ones I have or haven’t seen anymore.

    Clearly a ripoff of the masterpiece Time of the Apes!

    Earlier I noticed a plothole in the prequels.

    The original films had space age technology, in both the 1968 version and the 2001 reboot, but in the prequels the world ended in like 2010-ish. So basically, they’re not prequels. Also, the 2001 version sort of implies maybe the Apes aboard the Oberon may have started the Ape Uprising.

      They are not prequels, they are very loose adaptations of the book. Basically very expensive fan fiction.

    … and it is not even an interesting franchise.

    • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The first two films of the original series with Charlton Heston (and James Franciscus in the second one) are films I dearly love and have seen many times. The rest, meh.

        The third in the original (Escape from the Planet of the Apes) is fricken awesome

        source
    • dudinax@programming.dev ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The twist of the first movie relies entirely on Hollywood writer’s reputation for stupidity.

      How can apes evolve on another planet? They can’t! Ah well, let’s go enjoy some B-movie trash anyway.

    Just answer me this: Is this the one where they loop the footage of a chimp and dub it so it says “mama?” Because that will always be the best one.

      Sadly, Ricardo Montalban is no longer with us, so it isn’t that one.

    Tbh I’m here for it. The reboot trilogy is legitimately fantastic and beautifully realised films

    So does it turn out in the end that we were the apes all along? Or is it not that kind if a movie?
