Planet of the Apes (2001) Recent Fan Reviews

  • Oh No!

    The most overrated film of all time!

    by

    This movie sucked. There was barley anything to like about it. The way the apes looked was stupid. The story made absolutely no sense. The acting was good by Mark Wahlberg, Giamatti, and a couple other actors. But the overall movie was stupid. I have seen better movies on Sy-Fy. They did not follow their story at all. How did the main bad guy comeback to take control of Earth of when he was trapped? How did in the time span of a couple of months, the monkeys learned how to escape their cages and kill? Especially since they were only being taught to fly a space shuttle. I would say never watch this movie, ever!

    This movie sucks. I would rather trouh up my guts then watch it again. Everyone looked like a hairy michael jackson.

  • Must Go!

    A great movie

    by KINGNN

    This was a great remake of the 1968 movie. The movie is a must see and provides the right balance of excitement/drama and action. You definitely must watch this movie before watching Rise of the planet of the apes ( 2011).
