This is a really funny and scary film at the same time. The makeup plays upon people's Michael Jackson fears, and they walk rather eerily too.
Mark Wahlberg talks to animals! He talks to Transformers, so why not?!
I don't believe that the characters are real and are as fake as their makeup.
Whether because of Silver Age radiation beliefs or due to screwing up an education system, the people in this version of Apes can talk, aren't really subdued, so I have no idea what they're complaining about regarding the Apes. Why don't they run? Why don't they overthrow? It makes NO sense.
Not to mention, they have empathetic apes in this film. Maybe they're all not just warmongers. I guess the original had that issue too, but I care enough about the acting, the realism of the makeup, etc.. so that I don't get bothered by this!
Also, why did Tim Burton make this film other than for the money?
There's no goth style in it. He doesn't make any references to other media other than Planet of the Apes in the film, (and they're TERRIBLE!)
It really doesn't seem to be a product anybody enjoyed and boy did it show.
The time warp aspect of the film is completely useless. And BOY that ending. There was really no reason or hints throughout the film to imply they were on Earth and it really should've been an alien planet. How much did they spend on all those sets or CG for such an Ed Woodian ending?!
I guess some of the action was good, but I really didn't get why they went all Iron Monkey in the film.
