      @@joshuawhite6877 Planet of the Apes is one of the few modern franchises that actually told a cohesive, thought out story, with real consequences for actions and decisions. It belongs in the same category as LotR, Harry Potter, and Nolan's Batman trilogy, for that reason alone. On top of that, they're some of the most visually and emotionally engaging mainstream movies I've watched in years, carried of course by Serkis' Caesar.
      I usually don't find big Hollywood productions to be anything more than mediocre, because they insist on cutting out any substance, in favor of mass market appeal. Planet of the Apes managed to appeal to the common movie viewer while still having substance and depth. Even with the succes it had, I'd still say it's criminally under rated, since no one watched and though "hey, _I_ could make a blockbuster with wide appeal _and_ artistic value!"
