The ads claim this new one is 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!”
Beware the beast ‘man’, for he is the devils pawn. Alone among gods creatures, he kills for sport, or lust, or greed. Yea he will murder his brother to possess his brothers land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home, and yours. Shun him. Drive him back into his jungle lair for he is the harbinger of death.
He can talk! He can talk! He can talk!

I can siiiiiing!
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 love all of the Apes movies with the exception of the Burton fiasco.
The new one isn’t quite as good as Rise or War, but it’s definitely fun.

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

The “take your stinkin paw off you damn dirty ape” scene was fantastic

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.
I genuinely had no idea there were more than the original lol
Well, I guess that’s testament to how well they’ve done.
Of the county of the city of the town of the country of the galaxy of the universe
Of the apes
That escalated quickly
Yes, and it’s in theaters this fall
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!
Bell Labs should look into this indifference!
They did. And know they know why Johnny doesn’t care. Do you care?
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.
EDIT: And the original trilogy actually shows the ape uprising caused by timetravelling apes after the 2nd move uh… made continued living on the planet somewhat problematic for the apes.
They are not prequels, they are very loose adaptations of the book. Basically very expensive fan fiction.
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.
… and it is not even an interesting franchise.
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
The twist of the first movie relies entirely on Hollywood writers’ reputation for stupidity.
How can apes evolve on another planet? They can’t! Ah well, let’s go enjoy some B-movie trash anyway.
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?
I’m not sure if this is an obscure reference, but…
🎵 Iiiiiiffff yooooouuuuuu 🎵
*Want to take a picture of the fascinating witches who put the scintillating stitches on the britches of the boys who put the powder on the dawn of the sequel of the prequel of the reboot of the planet of the kingdom of the war of the dawn of the rise of the battle for the conquest of the escape from the planet of the apes… *
Same thought here!
And they’ll tell two friends…
Classic Mr. Show

God, I wasn’t even born when it aired but I pirated a copy and watched all the episodes. It’s just so amazing!
