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."

He can talk! He can talk! He can talk!

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.

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

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

[-] Zoot@reddthat.com 2 points 5 months ago

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"?!?

[-] DadVolante@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Klordok@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] DadVolante@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Alto@kbin.social 2 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] rwhitisissle@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I find the movies conceptually interesting because there aren't many movies in which humans are just explicitly the bad guys, or in terms of the most recent one just a supporting entity that exists on the periphery of the story. Avatar kinda does that, too, but the Avatar movies are also puddle deep genre fiction and the "of the Apes" movies are at least structurally and narratively competent.

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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

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