For all of the problems with this movie, I adore two things. One, the ape makeup is some of the most realistic and stylized I've ever seen in a feature film, and two, the costumes are very intricate and detailed. Both together make some talented practical effects.

"I'd rather watch a movie that fails big than a movie that bores me by taking no chances." That is spot on.

Thade's distinctive grin is creepier when you know that chimps use grins as a threat.

"I'd rather watch a movie that fails big than a movie that fails me by taking no chances." Hey, Hollywood? Listen to this insightful individual!

The twist of the original movie was not in the original novel. Instead, the main character flew back to earth, only to discover that the monkeys had taken over earth too. So technically this twist is pretty accurate to the novel.

It might be 23 years old by now, but damn if it still has some impressive makeup and practical set design 😊

We have to appreciate how the visual design of this movie is TOP TIER for visual callbacks from the origin of the apes vs humans situation The apes' helmets look like the pod's rear end, the humans' branding iron is a representation of the Oberon's silouette among others.

I actually rather like this movie. The ape society was interesting, alien yet familiar, and overall the film hews closer to the satire of the original novel. It's not my favorite Planet of the Apes movie, and the reboot prequels absolutely blow it away, but it's an enjoyable enough movie.

While this may not be my favorite adaptation of the Planet of the Apes series, it holds a special place in my heart for the reason that it introduced me to the series as a whole.

17:30 Actually its based on the novel's ending. Ulysse (book Taylor) lands in paris in his pod, gets out and is apprehended by a policeman. Last words of the penultimate chapter: "He is a gorilla."

Fun Fact: Danny Elfman and Rick Baker, who did the music and the ape makeup respectively in *"POTA 2001"* were originally hired to do the same jobs in *"Return to The Planet of The Apes",* a planned but cancelled 1988 film by Adam Rifkin, which was to be a direct sequel to the original 1968 film and ignoring the sequels from 1970-1973.

Fun fact: apparently Tim Roth is really passionate about gun control, so much so that he stated that had he known he was going to have to do a scene with Charlton Heston he would have turned down the role. As it was he apparently only interacted with Heston during their scene and not outside of it

I’m so happy to see this on CinemaWins because I grew up with both the original films as well as this remake just in time to watch and absolutely love the new prequel trilogy, which are some of my favorite films of all time. Thank you for winning a childhood favorite of mine🙏

I completely forgot this movie existed until 20 minutes ago, what a nostalgia trip! Now I'm craving more movies from around the 2000s because that was a great era IMO

Week 164 of asking for Everything Great About Dead Man's Chest.

19:28 I don't recognize either still frame, so here's a list of suggestions to consider for future EGA videos: -King Kong (2005 Film) -Disney's Hercules -James & the Giant Peach -Monsters Inc. -Crazy, Rich Asians -Ice Age -Night at the Museum -Mr. Peabody & Sherman -The Lost World: Jurassic Park -Star Wars: Clone Wars (2008 Film)

I think the one thing I've always loved about this movie, is Thade. He's such a goofy ass villain, and Tim Roth just seems like he's loving every second of that goofy ass role

13:25 You good buddy? Said that with a bit of conviction.

I was a huge cinephile before this movie came out. Was a little kid watching the 1970’s Planet of the Apes movies on TV. 1999 was THE year for movies. This movie tanked with viewers who did not appreciate Burton’s vision. He made a good movie with great actors and a spectacular FX team. There is no reason for this movie to have tanked. It is all the camp and respect to the 70’s makeup effects, which were awesome for the time. This is a very good movie. And one of the last to be shot with so many physical effects.

It's always fun when you go back to your roots of highlighting the good points of maligned movies.

These apes scared the hell out of me when I was younger

I couldn't help but imagine Krull saying "Flawless Victory".

The next CinemaWins video will be either The Meg 2: The Trench, or Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning: Part 1.

Also I don't think the the world seen at the end is ours conquered by the Thade we just saw, somehow getting to Earth and getting there before Wahlberg's character. I think it's an alternate realty, a parallel universe.

Ever though of doing videos for the Riddick movies? They're all stupid fun, and the first two are old enough that doing a video on them would introduce plenty of new people to them.

Please do the whole prequal trilogy. I swear they are criminally underated and forgotton about for some reason. IMO they are easily one of the best trilogies of all time. Plus Andy Circus is always a win!

There's no way this man added the "WOULD" reaction image to the ape kissing scene 🤣

I absolutely adore the reboot trilogy (AKA the Caesar Cycle). I don't think it gets enough love, so I'm excited to hear you give it the love it deserves.

Thanks! I still have those suggestions. I understand you'll be busy with those Planet of the Apes videos, and possibly Oppenheimer, still I would love to see those other videos come. But just take your time with it. You make my day everytime you release a video. 1. The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) 2. Jurassic Park III (2001) 3. Shrek (2001) 4. Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) 5. Back to the Future (1985) or next year for its 40th annivetrsary if you want... 6. Blade Runner (1982) 7. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) 8. Jumanji (1995) 19:24 Let me guess... is next week some Predator movie or Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 (2023)? DANG!!!

Planet of the apes is what whistler dreamed while inside the tank.

The. Ending of this version is closer to the ending in the original source book. It wouldn’t hurt to reference that in your critique, I hate how this version is slammed for the ending.

This was such a great movie when I first saw it when I was a kid. You should try young Frankenstein.

Finally! I always loved this take on the premise and I’m happy someone else took the time to point it out. ❤

Despite not liking this Wahlberg I always liked this movie. It is Planet of the Apes, and the apes in there are awesome.

The ape mannerisms, specifically by species, in this movie is astounding. The gorillas have the greatest physical strength but mostly use it for show, whereas chimpanzees are apeshit bonkers and aggressive. And also worth pointing out how captive apes have developed sorta crushes on humans.

Has no one read the book? Burton was faithful to the author's original ending that could have implied a multiverse .

All i know about this movie is Paul Giamatti loved doing it

14:49 Did you just... do a "would" meme? Wasn't expecting that. Was not expecting that...

I still wish this movie got a sequel

Hey dude love your reviews

I'm glad it never got a sequel, it makes the ending all the better. Some things are best left unknown.

I appreciate all of your Star Trek references you keep throwing into your videos.

8:18 that is such a deep-cut specific Star Trek reference and I love it. I mean ik it sounds obvious to any ST viewers but im pretty sure most non-Trekkie ppl dunno who leah brahms is.

HOW come this movie never got an Oscar nomination for Best Makeup? The makeup in this is amazing!

i forgot how good this movie is so many cool practical effects and great atmosphere ps. i never thought that statue at the end was thade i thought it was just how they chose to show he was thades descendant

Probably not taking suggestions, but I do have a query. Why has this channel never covered Gladiator? Universally I’m sure everyone agrees it’s one of the all time greats, but I bet it would make for one hell of a video.

I would love to see you do Iron Giant, if that's possible. My absolute favourite film, I watched it nonstop as a kid and to this day it still makes me cry.

EGA WolfWalkers, Power Rangers 2017, E.T. The Extra-terrestrial, and RRR!

Another EGA video, another film I haven't technically seen as a film, only as an NC "review". Should probably get to watching the first film and the reboot/remake series. Once again, an interesting and fun video! Keep up the great work and take care!

Please, I BEG of you! Finally make "Everything Great About Legend of the Guardians, the Owls of Ga'hoole!"

Similar to 'Superman Returns', the development of this film and all the directions it could have taken are very interesting to read. I was expecting if the 'Apes' franchise was to be revived after this film for it to be another take on the 1968 film so the 'Ceaser' trilogy was a very nice surprise.

i actually loved this movie and still do the makeup and effects and even the ape society the legend of cemos was all really cool

18:41 No. Not true. Nope. Not listening. Nope. Nuh uh. Nah. Nooooooo. 😂

11:46 Damn been ages since Ive seen this movie but uh yeah that's a genuinely good scene and a nice bit of character from Krull.

Always loved it👍👍

The reason I watch these is I learn something new. Watching this when I was a kid, the time stuff flew over my head. Now, it makes the film and my watching a lot better.

I honestly don’t hate this movie. The makeup is incredible and Thade’s a cool villain.

Is this movie good? No. Is it so bad and over-the-top that I watched the whole thing through in utter disbelief? Yes, and honestly, that's about as good. As Roger Ebert said... "I ask two things of a movie: that it be good, and that it not bore me. This movie (Barb Wire) wasn't good, but wasn't bored."

So I started watching this video not having seen the movie but quickly decided to stop and go watch it really glad I did.

While I'm not the biggest fan of this Movie, as a fan of the Franchise I'm so happy you covered it. Kinda wish you did the Original, and More old Movies in general. A lot of classics out there. OG PoTA is one of the best in my Opinion .

Thanks for this! 🦧

Preferring when movies take big swings and miss rather than taking no risks at all and boring me is literally my justification for why I enjoy most movies that are generally hated by modern audiences and people almost always respond, “why do you like bad movies?” 😅

Firstly, I straight up LOVE this movie, and honestly don't understand what people didn't like about it? Maybe there's some problems that I just didn't see, but I'm gonna ignore them and continue loving this. Love this video too. Secondly, I can't wait for you to cover the others as Kingdoms comes out, I love them as well and actually lost track of Kingdom's production a couple years ago and didn't realize they finally made it. I was in the theater to watch Godzilla Minus One when the first trailer hit and they showed the ape and I kinda freaked out when I realized that was what the trailer was for. Thirdly, I would really like to see a video on the old Bill Murray Garfield movie, as the new one is coming up as well. I grew up with it and recently went back for a research with a more critical eye, and I think it still holds up (It's definitely influenced my thinking to where no one else but Bill Murray or a very similar voice can believably be Garfield for me). Maybe even Tail of Two Kitties? But while I still enjoy that one, I do have to admit it is kind of weak.

Also, it's the one that's closest to the original book. The ape planet is not earth and the ending where he goes home to find thr earth taken over by apes, those are from the book. The, it was earth all along, thing was an invention of the movie.

Pretty sure the one on the right of the potential "next week" videos is MI: DR Pt1, but no clue on the left one.....

Just saw this version of planet of the apes for the first time. Never saw the older ones just the newer 3. This is the best one I’ve seen so far. I hope they make a number 2 with mark wahlberg in this storyline

10:00, I would give up on coming back home, not for Ari, no, I mean, all for my fellow humans, sure.

What i love about this one over the originals is how legit ape like the apes are here. In the originals, the apes are basically just weird looking humans, in this version, theyre legit still ape like, they have the agility and mannerisms of apes.

Does anyone else immediately try reverse image searching the next week teases to try and figure out what they are?

This was one of those movies that I just didn't like-but what stands strong is *really* good. Like those practical effects and costumes are just INCREDIBLE

damn that bridge over river kwai jab was accurate af

Please do Air America. So underrated ❤

Can you do one for Klaus?!?! Netflix Christmas movie it's gorgeous!

Please do Everything Great About Batman (1989), Everything Great About Batman Returns and Everything Great About Batman Forever!

great video

I always liked the idea that the apes brand the humans and the symbol is the shape of the Oberon space station, reminds me of how the apes would have that symbol of Caesar pass through the generations of apes.

Never did understand all the hate for this movie, and my first experience with the franchise was the original run when I was growing up in the 80s and they had weekend sci-fi features on tv. (Beneath was pretty out there, not gonna lie haha) It hit all the right beats for a PotA installment and the subversive callbacks were 'Leo pointing at the screen' memeworthy before the meme was a twinkle in its creator's eye. They were done with a knowing wink, but also in a way that showed love for the original movies. Even the ending, we knew there was going to be a twist, it's in the DNA of the series, but actually seeing it for the first time and how it played out was incredibly fun in the theater, the whole 'wow~ they actually went there...' experience. $68 million in its opening weekend, the second highest EVER at the time, and $362 million against a $100 million budget shows it at least managed to generate some good attention too, not to mention a few award nominations at the BAFTAs for the incredible costume work and the ever-spectacular Elfman's score at the Grammys.

for a movie from 2001, I'm still to this day amazed by the make up and prosthetics for the apes, It absolutely holds up.

There it is ladies and gentlemen @14:49 lmao

Finally! 😂 Now please do the planet of ape trilogy with Andy Serkis! It's the best and it will be perfect since the new sequel is coming out soon.

Epic make up work for sure.

I Suspect you should Win 'Shrek 2" anytime soon. It's one of DreamWorks' best sequels ever made.

POTA is one one my favorite sci-fi franchises ever

I remember seeing this in the theatre as a kid and loving it while I was watching it, then discussing it with my Mom on the car ride home and realizing it didn't make much sense and I actually didn't like it at all by the time we got there. I didn't have the words for it at the time, but I now cite this movie as my first experience with "critical analysis". And that was when my childhood ended...😅

Da king is back baby he neva miss

10:50 wait what movie is "safe Hold"

5:51 Showing teeth to a chimp is a sign of a fight gonna start, that's why she reacted that way

Bro really put the ‘would’ meme on the screen for a split second like it was nothing 😂

We've got a new Ghostbusters movie on the way, so it's past time to get started on the series.

14:49 I agree, CinemaWins guy, "would" too

Can you look at everything good about the Animated Movie Unicorn Wars🐻🏹🦄

I always liked this movie and has a nostalgia factor as well.

If I can appreciate anything in this movie, it's the rounded silver early 2000s sci-fi aesthetic in the production design.

I know that the left frame for next week is The Meg 2, which would be awesome.

There's actually a way to explain the ending of this movie. Basically there are two timelines one where the crew end up on this mysterious planet and the other where they return to Earth and the apes rise up. The biggest way this is explained is the urn that contains the gun. That was the same gun that Walbergs character gets from his pod that meand there was a version of him that ended up on the planet with the crew and was killed along with that crew. If you think about it that actually makes some level of sense we have no idea what the anomaly in space does so it's very likely

"Everything GREAT about The Iron Giant" next please

I like how the new plane tof the apes movie coming out they took some inspiration even from this film tho like i think the kingdom looks and will look a lot like the kingdom in this one and the orangatan reminds me of the one on this movie but ya know different lmao

Really hope someday you'll do any of the three final fantasy movies

Episode 133 of asking for Princess Bride!

Only time i ever fell asleep as a kid in the theater lol
