Bingowings said:I love Beneath The Planet Of The Apes it used to give me nightmares as a child, I also like Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes (even if the political side of the side is rather heavy handed). I've always had a taste for the bleak.
Yeah, me too actually, regarding Beneath and Conquest. I am a huge sucker for Planet of the Apes, I just can't get enough of those movies (excluding the recent Tim Burton disaster), I even enjoy the TV show. Though I have never been able to get into the animated series.
That said, I do see them as pointless sequels, and really respect Heston regarding the whole sequel thing. I wish more actors would take that kind of pride in themselves. These days it feels like older past their prime actors are just desperately prostituting themselves out. I really hate to see that.
