as an avid fan of the original I was livid with the Tim Burton one. years later i STILL know how that movie ended.

Badly.

The one major problem with the TB one is he tried to use Star Trek logic to explain the movie...only Star Trek can use Star Trek logic correctly.

you maniacs. you did it. you really did it.

god damn you all to hell.

another scene that i think ranks up there as one of the best all time is just after Taylor and his crew see there are humans on this new planet he goes "in a couple of months we will be running this place" and you hear that horn and the humans start scrambling and the exact moment Taylor sees an ape riding a horse still gives me chills.

That move has like 5 underlying stories all going on at the same time. Totally brilliant filmmakig.

Much as I hate Tim Burton's filmmaking, I will say one thing.

The ending of his movie is actually closer to the book by Pierre Boulle - which ptobably nobody's read - than the original movie's end was. In the book, the astronaut (not named Taylor) escapes the planet in his ship, with a wife and son, and returns to Paris in the future to find a modern city...run by gorillas.

(there's kind of another 'Twilight Zone' twist added in after that too)

So in fairness, Burton followed the original book when it came to the ending.

That doesn't make the movie, or the ending, any better honestly. It just explains where it came from.

For the record, I think the Heston movie ending is a million times better than the book version.

Meh. A reboot was not needed, in fact Apes just got a reboot about a decade ago with marky-mark.

The only reason the studio made this movie was to keep the franchise. A little known rule about movies is that IP's expire after a given time and go up for "auction". If a studio that owns the IP fails to make a movie with a number of years, that IP no longer belongs to them. It's why there's a 4th X-men movie coming out, along with so many other damn sequels.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
