Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes Sucks!

[theone1982]

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is total crap compared to the original. First of all, I really hate CGI, it just never looks real to me. I'd rather see actors in ape outfits any day. Second, these just look like real monkeys, not upright walking creatures in groovy outfits. Weak. Third, I won't spoil the ending, but I will say that it is pretty simplistic and non-sensical. Anyway, go rent the original, it's a classic. This one is a steaming pile of monkey crap.

Saw the Original with Heston again recently and enjoyed it. I also liked some of the early sequels too.

Yeah, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes is really good too. The ending is crazy.

America could have told you that. The apes have risen. Welcome to the current presidency and the envious "But the rich people!" Administration.

[theone1982]

Beneath the Planet of the Apes isn't bad either. Escape From the Planet of the Apes is kind of boring and Battle For the Planet of the Apes is really low budget. The Tim Burton remake is OK, but a little pretentious, and the Abe Lincoln as an ape ending is pretty ridiculous.

[kittyKaiti]

I knew this movie would be terrible.

[Spridle]

Everyone I've talked to that's seen it has said it's the best "Apes" film since the original. I haven't seen it but sorry you didn't enjoy it.

[Dino Velvet]

The Tim Burton remake is OK, but a little pretentious, and the Abe Lincoln as an ape ending is pretty ridiculous.

I recommended and took about 8 co-workers to see it back in the theater. Boy, were they ever pissed at me 119 minutes later.

[maaarc]

agreed 1982 just saw it with my niece and wow - it was bad :(

[Dino Velvet]

Guess I'll wait to watch it on the DirecTV.

I made a thread about The Devil's Double (http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=58481). That looks interesting to me.

[Dino Velvet]

I've never seen Star Wars. When it came out in the theater I saw Suspiria instead.

[robertlouis]

They need to redo star wars with the graphics from this day and age.

NO ALTERING THE SCRIPT THOUGH!

No, please no.

It was bad enough the first time around.....

I agree 100% with you on the CGI, it should be used as a special effects prop only, say to assist in some stunt ect. But not to build a fucking movie around entire characters are made from CGI and it sucks. Thanks for the heads up on the shitty flick. The orginal is classic and I can watch it over and over Tim Burtons remake was shit just like every Tim Burton does!

[KelticForce1349]

No, please no.

With all due respect, kill yourself sir. Thank you.

[trish]

I agree that Heston makes it easier to believe that apes could be smarter than humans.

[LibertyHarkness]

was anyone really suprised this film would be shite ...hollywood are incapable of making decent movies at the moment it seems ..

to many reboots, revamps .. sucks balls big time ...

[TS_fairy]

This movie looked like garbage in the previews.. are they even offering it in 3D?

[Solitary Brother]

Fuck you cracker boy and any else who wants to defend you.

I can do without stumbling upon comments like this. Take it somewhere else.

[trish]

I did like
Super 8,
Cowboys and Aliens,
and even Crazy, Stupid, Love.

So the summer movies weren't entirely a loss.

So the post Solitary was responding to wasn't equally offensive?

Compared to Burton version. I liked this one. It was fun, at no point did I get dull or
make me lose intrest. *Conan on the hand* :P

[AmyDaly]

I saw this one and actually liked it.

[needsum]

I've seen the commercials, and want to know just how the fuck monkeys and apes were somehow able to completely overtake mankind, with our weaponry and tanks and planes and guns. without spoiling it, can someone tell me that they at least made this seem somehow plausible?

I saw it and was pleasantly surprised. Much better than I thought. As for your question, I had the same doubt before watching the movie as well. The end of the movie answers that question and sets itself up for at least one good sequel. HINT (without giving it away): have you seen 12 Monkeys???

[MdR Dave]

I agree with theone. I found the first six hours extremely boring. The last 15 minutes was ok.

My favorite apes movie was the remake- man, what I would do to Helena Bonham Carter's hairy ads!

i liked the new film! :(

[SirCumsAlot]

Why do people who "hate cgi" go see a movie that is full of cgi then complain about it? Thats like me saying I hate cartoons then going to see a Pixar movie
*I dont hate cartoons

[fred41]

I liked the movie...
the casting wouldn't work in a serious film: James Franco is just way too "stoner dude" to seem believable enough as the scientist and John Lithgow as the father deep in the throes of Alzheimer Disease?!...c'mon, you know he's gonna ham it up to the nth degree.
...but it was entertaining...(also doesn't hurt that Freida Pinto's in it...she's so goddam pretty).

[Helvis2012]

I agree.

[Tania_Harvey]

I prefer the originals. New one just looks too fake.

[jigglyGmoney]

Lithgow was his usual(which is great) Franco didnt actually ruin it for me. But the girl(from Slumdog Millionaire) was absolutely awful. She really took the phrase all looks no talent to a new level.

[arnie666]

Most movies coming out of hollywood are shite these days.In is particularly annoying when they decide to remake or copy an earlier film that was excellent in it's original form. I haven't seen rise of the planet of the apes, but I have just seen the new conan the barbarian and it was utter rubbish,the original with arnold had it's faults but was memorable. Apparently Iam not alone it has flopped world wide.

This one is a steaming pile of monkey crap.The last movie I paid to see in a theater was one of the Harry Potter series that I took my 12yr old nephew to see and I snored through that, so no worries about me paying to see this pathetic remake. Aside to Pomona: How about a long walk on a short pier?

[Dinand]

Bad taste all around here. Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes rules!

[Dahlia Babe Ailhad]

Hi all

I really liked this movie.
The CGI was great, and i liked the ending. If you didn't watch the full ending which happened during the end credits, you missed it.

:dead:How do you find 4 year old threads just to open them

[Dahlia Babe Ailhad]

Well, i....

Oh, and hello to you, also, BLKGSXR.

...i was searching the forum to see if there was already a thread about a specific topic that i wish to discuss, and during that search, i noticed the thread about that film, and i commented on it.

OH NO!!
Don't tell me that "old threads" are "dead threads" and should never be resurrected.
Or maybe...that...new members are not allowed to search the forums.

Here's a polite question for you now, sweety.
Why post a comment in a 4 year old thread and not even comment on the discussion?
I'm just curious.
I answered your question. Can you POLITELY answer mine? lol



Would you like me to suggest some multiple-choice options?
Babe,

[MrFanti]

My favorite "Apes" reboot was the 2001 "Planet Of The Apes" with Mark Wahlberg, Helena Bonham Carter, and Michael Clarke Duncan...(amongst others)....:cool:

I agree that nothing beats the original but I didn't think it was as bad as the one with Mark Wahlberg.

These *new ones* IMHO have too much CGI....That's why my preference is towards the Wahlberg re-boot...

Original is way better IMO. Somehow the original had more impact without the fancy cgi. The story was better I guess.

judging from the number of your reply posts, hafta say, you have a rather interesting interpretation of the concept of "ignore"

[EZWind]

...first of all, I fail to understand why so many seem to have a problem w/ cgi...if it's done well (which these are) it doesn't upset me in the least. But more to the point...

Why do people who "hate cgi" go see a movie that is full of cgi then complain about it?
....that's the fundamental question, isn't it. The original was quite popular when it came out and novel for it's day (until they beat it to death w/ all the sequels) , but I'm sorry, the apes looked like actors w/ half a grapefruit shell stuck on the front of their faces. In the Tim Burton version, at least the apes looked like apes and had great performances from Paul Giamatti, MC Duncan and Tim Roth...and, altho I seem to be the only one in the world who thought it was OK, it somehow managed to gross $362 Mill. Also, I don't seem to have the problem w/ Lithgow and Franco that others do....I enjoyed Rise , esp Andy Serkis as Caesar....outstanding. Dawn is next up in my Netflix que....looking forward to it

[giovanni_hotel]

The Planet of the Apes reboot is superior in many ways because of cgi.

Rise and Dawn were awesome conceptual movies, but the originals gave me nightmares as a kid watching them on late night TV. Scary eyes.

The whole thing started with this movie back in 1968.

:dead: Lol did you just post a link to a pirated movie site???

Ever thought of buying the license?

[Dahlia Babe Ailhad]

Pirate site?
Pffft! No idea.

I type into google what i want to watch and the site was in the search results.
I clicked on the "WATCH" button (not the download link) and the movie starts playing. I heard a virus warning, (as i've already said) from my resident virus scanner and it blocked the virus and i watched the movie.
Is that against the law?
I thought owning a pirate movie site was, or downloading movies to sell, was.
I am just watching it.

If it's a pirate site whoever 's in charge can delete the post if they want.
I don't care. I didn't say to DOWNLOAD the movie.

What are you talking to me for anyway??

[AshlynCreamher]

Yuck

Well let this be known that you're infringing on private citizens copyright's. So maybe you should knock it off?

I can't stand Dahlia Babe Ailhad, I don't know why but every time I see the DBA I just get angry, like I want to reach into my screen and grab the DBA by (its) neck and just squeeze tightly until it stops kicking.

[ElectricWoody]

Movies are getting to Computer Animated and Cartoony. I don't even buy the movies.
At least porn hasn't got Computer Animated yet!

[Dahlia Babe Ailhad]

Hi ElectricWoody,

I know, eh.
When i watched Spiderman with CGI, i REALLY didn't like watching a "cartoon" as a stunt-man could have done the stunts.
You know?...it's HOLLYWOOD! That's what they do!

But for the Rise of the Planet of the Apes, it was acceptable as they can't get primates to do stuff.
I would much prefer watching the CGI like in this movie than to have actual animals used, and the ape costumes i can do without in 2015.
The costumes were great back in the day but those days have long passed, in my opinion.

Yall are being stubborn oldheads.

If any franchise reboot was totally made for CGI, it's Planets of the Apes.

The script for Rise of the Planet of the Apes is equal to the original Planet of the Apes, and the imagery of the reboots totally outclass the hokey makeup used for the original sequels.

[Dahlia Babe Ailhad]

Film director to animal handler: Can you make the chimp scream the word, "Noooooooo!!?"

Animal handler: "Uh, no. Chimps can't speak, sir."

Film director to animal handler: "Hmm, alright. Then, can you ask it to repeatedly fire two revolvers while riding a horse going top speed on cement."

Animal handler: "Uh, sorry sir, but all he does is eat bananas and pretty much walk around on his knuckles."

Film director to animal handler: "Oh yea, yea i forgot that. They look almost human, you know?...okay uh...the gorilla. We need it to pick up that manhole cover over there and toss it at the squad car's windshield."

Animal handler:" Sorry, sir but he won't do that as gorillas are non-violent by nature."

Film director to animal handler: "Oh, i see, i see. Yes, yes. Hmm. Okay, uh, i really need the gorilla to jump from the bridge and throw itself at the helicopter waving it's arms over his head as if to maintain his balance while in flight. And it has to look REALLY angry."

Animal handler: "Uh, with all due respect, sir, that's a 300 foot drop to the river. It would traumatize the gorilla."

Film director to animal handler: "Oh yes, i forgot...okay , uh...er.. ah...hmm uhm...lemme think here uhmm...."

Please note that nowhere did I say that I did not like CGI. :geek:
