this film be bad because there be nothing interest about it . it be sort of a remake but then again and not really . i be very disappointed consider the tool that tim burton have at his disposal . he have great make up and cgi available and lot of money ( $ 100 million ) but can you honestly say that what we get be as good a the original film that be make for less than $ 6 million . heck no . so in that regard and the film fail . at least in the original film and the statue of liberty scene be shock but there be nothing shocking in this film even the end scene because you could kind of see it come . and and by the way and if you give it some thought and and i do and you can figure out how the end could come about . i just wish i have back the time that i waste think about it . this film would have be brilliant and fun if it stay along the line of the first film and adopt part of beneath the planet of the ape . here how i would have write it representan astronaut ( it really should have be more than marky mark because he not good enough to care a film all by himself so i would have put in three guy ) that would land on what they would think would be another planet and encounter human ( not mute ) and a city rule by ape and be hunt and make friend with some good ape and discover that theyre on earth via find some destroyed ruin and end up run into crazy mutant human live beneath the earth and a war break out between the mutant human and the ape and and then . well and let your imagination run wild on how you want to end it . but my point be that there could have be so much more to this film . sadly and tim burton really know how to wreck a good thing . consider what he do with the batman series . he a rotten director inspite what of people think . he trendy so he must be good go the thinking . sorry and but no . if anyone else have do this film and it would have turn out far good and would have be far more satisfying .
