I've read Pierre Boulle's original novel, watched all of the original films multiple times, and even the short-lived television series, so it's fair to say that I'm an Apes fan. I'm also a fan of some of Tim Burton's work prior to this, which makes reviewing his unnecessary remake all the more troublesome.
Pros: a great ensemble cast, Mr Elfman on score duties, Rick Baker's flawless make-up and the amazing costumes.
Cons: Everything else.
To date, it's Burton's worst film by far and a well-deserved winner of a Golden Razzie for worst remake. It's a travesty.

I own this. I paid £3 for it. I don't know what that is in $. Too damn much, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteActually saw this on opening day in a packed theater. There were even ushers dressed up like monkeys. The movie on the other hand was less than memorable.
