i LOVE these films
first one is ultra classic and jane harrison aka nova was really hot
second one i think might actually be better than the first one
only seen conquest after that which i did like but seemed to carry less of the interesting philosophical arguments/questions and was a lot more straightforward 'lunatics take over the asylum' sort of thriller, though it did still have parallels/allegories, it was just made a bit too explicit perhaps
tim burtons remake (reimagining sheimagining) i did actually find myself liking, though its a bit hammy, and he doesnt quite inject the ape franchise with enough new ideas/aesthetics (the apes do look amazing though)
i do like the new 'rise' one, though its basically like conquest i think, 'a beginnings' film, but i think i just enjoyed seeing the apes wreak revenge and go ape (ho ho) righteously all over the place
i put off seeing these for so long but have acquired a kind of obsession with them recently, and im glad the ending of the first one was never spoilt for me cos it really IS one of the best endings hollywood has ever come up with
anyone else obsessed with the apes?
