Years ago I worked at a residential real estate brokerage in an upscale neighborhood in north Baltimore. One of my colleagues specialized in brokering apartment buildings and rehabs in the inner city. He was the first person I heard to refer to Baltimore City as the “Planet of the Apes”. And leaving the city to go to the suburbs was “Escape from the Planet of the Apes”.

Don’t watch the most recent Planet of the Apes movie.
Stick with the Charlton Heston original. It is far superior.

No way they would send that sort of message...oh....wait....

For sure a slam against evil White men - the national Anthem part just turned out to be a lagniappe for the Hollywood scum.

Damn...

Give it a year or two, and Hollywood as we know it is ...toast. Death of the industry.

Next up is going to be small budget, high quality films from indy producers. Many of which will reflect real America, and real values.

Until then, I’m out and spend zero hours and minutes;

TV
Movies
Sports

In the Charlton Heston version, the apes were the bad guys. They were the machine-gun toting, irrational, bigoted bullies. Modern Hollywood has made them the oppressed victims instead, justified in returning the fight to their oppressors. It fits the modern liberal agenda.

In Disney’s Zootopia, the ‘government worker’ was a sloth

The sloth DMV "worker" was the one and only highlight of that wretched flick.

These set of apes movies are a prequel to Heston’s movie. So now these good apes and become those bad apes over hundreds of years. Aside from the much better effects, the story line of all the prequels all suck.

When does one think that offending so much of the movie going audience with making them evil or just plain inferior remakes is going to make money? If you offend as much as 10 percent of the audience, that is a measurable loss. The other problem is probably also technology. Marvel puts their movies online via Netflix one year after theaters, so you can just wait and watch the Marvel movie on your 27 inch tv if you wish via Apple TV,Roku, etc.

The theme is that Whites are evil and deserve a violent comeuppance from allegedly oppressed groups.

Definitely one of the best parts.

The movie was so so.

I liked Lego Batman.
