Review title: how did this monkey flick get like this?
Product review: An absolute mess. Burton seems unsure which Apes movie he's making, so he throws in bits of everything including the TV series and mixes it all up. It's bound to suffer comparisons with the original, but apart from the FX and ape makeup, it struggles against the other movies too. Even the studio sets, the forest, ape city all look a bit cheap, and the fast pacing only makes it seem rushed. I can excuse the ending on account that it's in the original novel, but in the context of this film it makes no sense whatsoever.
