planet of the apes original

There were four more made in the 70's, and then the Burton remake. Each were as awful as the last.

I saw that one commin from a mile away 😆

The original is a classic, and thanks god for Sc1-Fi, they are running a marathon of POTA movies right now 🙂

i think im gonna buy the boxset for £49
do u think that is too dear

Yeah that ending was awesome. Much better than the new one. But the new one had more action in it.

Action wasn't the draw of the original movie, whch may be why Burton's failed. The sequel, "Beneath the Planet of the Apes", was great, IMO.

I just watched the original today for the first time since I was a kid (so it's fresh all over again). I must say, I love it! I'm contemplating on seeing the Burton remake, as I'm sure he messed it up.

So are any of the sequels worth it? C-Dic, you said you liked Beneath, which I'll check out now. How about the other three? There are five total, right?

original one was great, I own them all all five original once (could be six but pretty sure it's just 5) the sequels aren't as strong as the first one, they get weird with ppl worshipping an A-bomb and the like... Last one was one I liked tho

I've been renting all of the sequels. They seem to be getting more and more ridiculous as they go along. Though I still have the last two to watch, I think it's safe to say the first one is the only good one.

🍺 I just seen this for the first time,never seen the remake,but this was great,really enjoyed it,found it a bit slow paced at times but definitely a classic movie 8.5/10

I saw the original for the first time about 2 years ago. I loved it even though I was already aware of the ending. I thought it was going to be one of those movies that the end justifies the rest of the movie, but it was enjoyable throughout.

There are a lot of movie endings that everyone knows, even if they never saw the movie.

Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father. The Planet of the Apes was Earth. Rosebud is the sled. I knew all those endings before seeing the movies, but they didn't make the movies any less amazing the first time I saw them.
