Planet of the apes

These movies are so bad they are really bad.

You think things are bad? Wait until you see what movies predicted.

They don't always end with “happily ever after.”

These movies have time on their side.

"Caesar's legacy will continue."

You will not believe some of the films that have inspired entire lines of toys.

With the House of Mouse buying one of the oldest studios in Hollywood, here are the movies and TV shows that could get revivals in the near future.

Hot take: The Planet of the Apes has always been one of the very best franchises ever. Even back in the ’70s, even when some of the ape masks looked a little hokey, the Apes series consistently delivered some of the most thoughtful, prescient, spooky, and unrelentingly bleak sci-fi films Hollywood has ever produced. Nearly every single one ends on a mega-bummer; beloved characters dying, entire races getting wiped out, or, in one awesomely disturbing example, the entire freaking planet getting blown to smithereens.

I have never been more stoked for a movie about apes...EVER.

The new 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' trailer has dropped in to preview the upcoming war between the highly evolved apes dominating Earth and the remaining shreds of mankind. Who will win out? Well, this is part of the prequel stories leading up to the original 'Planet of the Apes' movies, so ... you should already know the answer.

While Universal has yet to make an official decision on the fate of 'Fast and Furious 7' in the wake of actor Paul Walker's tragic passing, 20th Century Fox has decided to move up its 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' into the same slot.

I'm a movie geek. I know more about Star Wars than any one human should. I have seen the Matrix trilogy more times than I would like to count. So you could say I was a little excited to see a reboot of the 'Planet of the Apes' franchise.
