I just saw Planet of the Apes for the first time recently and have never seen the original and was wondering if the original had that really stupid ending that the new ones does, do not want to say much about the ending incase people have not seen the movie yet, but it sucked (crappy ending of all time)



having not seen the new one, i DOUBT it. mainly, because the first one had a supprise (sort of) ending and since everyone already knows whats going on, its not much of a suprise, is it?

in the first one, they did not actually know they were on earth. there were these barbarian human like things that didnt talk, and the apes used them for slaves. the astronaughts were like "hmm, isnt this an odd case of parallel evolution. I feel like I am in a bad startrek episode." and at the end, GUESS WHAT? It was EARTH! my gawd, what a shock. everyone was so supprised. the main character (someone help me with his name) found the statue of liberty buried up to its neck in the sand and had a breakdown when he realized what had happened to the world.

BUT YOU CANT REMAKE AN APPOCALYPSE MOVIE NOW THAT THE WORLD IS NOT ENDING ANYMORE! i swear, popular culture has been going down hill ever since the iron curtain came down. if you cant be scared of the commies getting into a nuke-fest with McCarther or Ronney-RayGun, what the hell do you have left to make movies about? certainly not mutants in an atomic wasteland with crossbows strapped to their forearms. I'll tell you that much for certain.

I really liked the plot twists. Man did not see any of that coming. When I saw Pearl Harbour earlier in the year I thought I saw the worst movie ever. But lucky enough Planet of the Apes came out and bumped Pearl to #2. That was a bad movie. I cringed every time I heard an ape say a line for the original ( that a human said ). Nothing original, just more of the hollywood style movie.

I hope that they do not hollywood LOTR. I have high hopes for that movie. It better be good. No focus group endings. Follow the book.

I blame Lucas for all these cheeze ball endings.
