Review title: Wrong Director + Poor Script = Bad Movie
Product review: When it was announced that Tim Burton would be directing the new Planet of the Apes movie, I cringed. To me, Burton is goth (i.e. Beetlejuice, Batman, Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands). Putting Burton at the helm of a classic sci-fi/adventure film was wrong. His directing style is painfully incongruent with what fans expected from a new Apes film. This dud of a movie is the byproduct of that terrible Fox decision.Tim Burton aside, the other major problem with this movie is its script. The story is confusing, rushed as well as predictable. With twenty-some years since the release of the final Planet of the Apes movie, you'd think someone could have written a great script. Instead, we get another "dumb down the audience" McMovie complete with a large breasted female character.Skip this one. It's only a renter. Instead, buy the 1968 classic of Planet of the Apes. A much better film which I have never tired of viewing over the years.
