No point to this film - avoid!
4 February 2002
The original Planet of the Apes is a much more satisfying picture than this pathetic attempt. There is no point to this film. There's no strong narrative, there's no strong plot, and a major miscast!

Marky Mark gives his worst performance yet, there are no layers to his acting in this one! He looked bored!

The film lacks original plot ideas, anything new is laughable. The humans serve no purpose in the film, there's no conflict amongst them. The whole slave thing is old and tired.

The make-up is tremendous, Baker deserves all the accolades! The direction by Burton is easily one of his worst, he needed a lot more time to develop the picture. Visually, the film is excellent, dark and moody at times. A sequel might be better handled by Burton, I think it's suited to his eccentric style.

Stick with the original, miles better than this post-modern work.
