the movies end is even more pathetic when you realise the ape lincoln idea was allegedly stolen from kevin smith, there was a lawsuit over this.
Even more Laughable the casting Marky Mark replacing Charleton Heston.
That there was a script for another classic apes movie and they went with this crap is beyond stupid.
I remember looking forward to that version when it was announced in sci fi universe magazine in 1994 premiere issue.
As for Attack of the Clones as if the title was not supposed to warn you this was a cheasy homage to the 1930's and 1940's universal serials starring buster crabbe as both flash gordon and buck rogers.
I am probably more guilty of this than most fans, but don't you think we are expecting far too much in indiana jones and star wars as they are saturday matinee serial fare that you are supposed to eat your candy and popcorn while watching. Lucas was dubbed the king of twerp cinema by Peter Biskind and it pretty much holds up.
Star Wars and Indiana Jones were never made to be marketed to 30 year or 40 something adults who want more adult fare.
If you want drama and all that go watch the godfather or taxi driver, lol. not star wars.
