    Hey, guess what Host:

    No one gives a flying fuck! No one cares what you have to say, so stop writing fucking paragraphs about things that AREN'T FUCKING IMPORTANT!

    Whew. Just needed to vent.

    I just got to comment on the A.I. ending. <SPOILERS> When it zooms in on David, after he finds the other Davids and girl (Whatever there names where) it should have ended then. <SPOILERS END> Spielberg lost his nack of directing. That ending wasn't as good as POTA as far as thinking (my opioion). You can come to your own conclusions or you could read the summary of what happened.

    V2A: Just two quick comments.

    Granted, most movies that make you think provide no explicit 'answer.' Instead there is a plurality of explanations, and they allow the viewer to formulate their own. They make the viewer come to his or her own conclusion[s] as to how or why something happened in the film. A good example would be A.I. [SPOILER WARNING!] While the creatures at the end are suppossed to be mechas, there's still some ambiguity. There are many possible reasons they survived catastrophes humans didn't. Many possible reasons they really want to study David. Many possible explanations for the reappearance of his mother at the end, aside from those explicitly stated, and reasons why the mechas would lie to the boy robot. [END SPOILER WARNING]

    The big difference with PotA is that there is no possible way that the ending could make sense. The viewer is left with no sensical conclusions. It doesn't make the viewer think; it doesn't provide the viewer the interactivity of coming to their own conclusions. Instead it confounds the viewer with an impossible (and impossibly gimmicky) twist that's suppossed to make viewers think it'thought-provoking, when really it's just stoopid.

    Secondly, there is no possible way that apes could learn to speak while remaining apes. With the exception of genetic engineering (as, I'll admit, proposed in the film), apes could not learn to speak unless given a million years or two to learn how. Yes, they can develop and deliver very limited language through hand gestures. But they have not the intellectual capacity to ever learn how to speak a language -- with conjugation and sentence structure and such.

    Anyway, I think you misunderstood my talking dinos comment. It was an analogy: an ending that would provide a twist, for certain, but one that would be impossible, gimmicky, and silly. Like the ending to PotA.

    IMHO JP 3 isn`t all that glorius... its not as bad as JP 2 but... well I watched it last thursday and its nearly a comedy... only 3-4 deaths.. one joke hunts the next... think only of the handy-dino-joke... oh well... everybody has its own taste. I`ll watch POTA and after that I`ll post my final opinion...

    "Just because Burton directes does not guarntee a good movie" is right. If you where refering to me saying that I did not.

    The movie is supposed to make you think, but not have an garuntee you an answer.

    "[It would be akin to showing raptors that could speak English at the end of JPIII, or Grant returning to Montana to find it inexplicably overrun by dinosaurs. Thought-provoking but silly and implausible/impossible. It would be a gimmick, nothing more.]"

    Apes are very close to us. The chance of them speaking one day in english is a very high chance. Those endings could have worked better than just "Oh look a way out lets go"

    With the exception of Steven Spielberg I will hafta agree with The Host; just because a film has an excellent director doesn't mean it will be a good movie.


    At 5:00:50 PM on 8/4/2001, The Host said:
    I didn't claim that Apes was different stylistically from Burton's other films; my point is simply that a good director does not a good film make, and while Burton's style remains similar, the direction is not of the same quality as his other films. As an example, I.J. & The Temple of Doom was, though a little darker, very stylistically similar to the otehr Indy filcks, but it was not nearly as good. The Lost World's visual style was in many respects similar to Saving Private Ryan's, but I don't think many people would accuse it of being as well done.

    Regarding the ending of PotA: saying an ending makes you think assuems that it could somehow make sense; perhaps there's ambiguity over meaning, or it's disturbing, it it proves allegorical, or it's ironic. The ending of PotA could have been any of those things *if it made sense*. Yes, it makes you think, but it is still a profoundly stoopid ending.

    Unless I missed a major plot point, as I noted before. Please, if anybody can explain that ending to me, do so. Because, the more I think about it, the more nonsensical it seems.

    This first paragraph is for THE HOST, POTA is not directed differently then all his other movies. All of them are very visual.

    The ending is something you have to think about, which most movies don't do now a days because of they want every one to love the movie, and not think about it. This was both daring and creative. Unlike JPIII's ending which is "o the phone lets call and get help" "Look she sent the navy and the army". And they made it out there by boat in less than a day.

    And they didn't even kill the I'm gonna say birds (I can't remeber the name of them) Like o lets let them go so we can cash in on a sequal.

    And Ebert is real easy to get a good review from. Roeper however is not. He says it is even better than the orginal. The only reason Ebert didn't like it because it didn't meet his expectations. I quote Tim "I don't even know what people expectations are". He does what he feels is right and he has done a great job again.

    What really sucked about JPIII is not the ending but the very bad dialoge and we have to do this, so is not to do this routines. Overall its a good movie, but not nearly the best this summer.

    but you havent noticed that on rotten tomatoes, every film which gets below 60% is rotten, so both JP3 & POTA are not considered good movies by the site.

    Turrock; SGD; Whatever:

    I'm not disparaging action and adventure films as a genre. Some of my favorite movies are action/adventure films: Jurassic Park, Batman, Die Dard 2, Cliffhanger, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Last Crusade, the Star Wars films (though Ep. One wasn't so great), T2: Judgement Day, Alien and Aliens and Alien3, Dark City, most Bond flicks, the list goes on . . . But I will happily admit that most action films are pretty awful. Pearl Harbor was abysmal; Lara Croft: Tomb Raider was mediocre (though I'll give it four stars simply because of Angelina Jolie's breasts); The Mummy Returns wasn't that great (though I enjoyed the original). Most of that Steven Segal/Jean Claude Van Damme crap is, well, crap. The list of action films I've disliked is longer than the list of films I've liked. Simple as that.

    A critic's job is to critique. To say what's wrong and what's right. The statement that most critics are liberals is probably accurate; to say they only like politically correct and/or family films could not be further from the truth. I consider myself rather liberal, but can't abide political correctness. I should think most other critics -- usually the most fervent defenders of film against right wing (politically correct) censorship -- feel as I do.

    Try reading some reviews some time, by respected critics. I would be surprised if you could show me any case of 'political correctness' in any respected critic's reviews, unless you define 'politically correct' very, very loosely.

    I personally feel that JP/// was a better movie, but I don't think you can compare Joe Johnston and Tim Burton simply because they direct differnt types of movies. You can't compare Jumaji and Batman because they are differnt genre of movies.
    The only problem I had with JP/// was the ending, other than that I felt it was much better than POTA. I like the original POTA better than the new one.

    I haven't seen PotA yet, but I know I like JP3 better, simply because of the dinosaurs and the fact that it's a JP movie. JP movies will always be my favorite movies of all time, and I will NEVER prefer those stinkin' apes. I'm not going to budge from my views, so please don't try to convince me PotA was better.


    At 7:06:32 PM on 8/3/2001, The Host said:
    A few comments.

    1) Before I go on, I have a statement of objectivity. Jurassic Park is one of my favorite films, but I despised The Lost World. Tim Burton is one of my fave directors, and Edward Scissorhands is one of my favorite films. I can honestly say that I have never seen a Burton film that I didn't like (I've seen them all, including Vincent, with the exception of Pee Wee's Big Adventure) -- until Planet of the Apes. But more about that later.

    2) There have been comments along the lines of, 'All critics are idiots/cynnics/morons/movie-haters.' I take grave exception to this. I feel that's a common misconception amongst the tasteless masses. While some critics are certainly hihg-strung, most, in my experience, are truly film lovers, that judge movies fairly and intelligently. They don't have a bias against action movies: they simply evidence the fact that most action movies suck. Really, they do.

    3) Some people in this discussion, in the opinion of this outsider, look like utter morons/assholes. Now I won't make assumptions about your personality or intelligence -- I'm not saying you are, generally speaking, an asshole or a moron -- but Turrock, please, calm down. You're coming across very poorly. And, uh, there's only one 'P' in opinion.

    4) Here we get into comparison . . . I preferred JPIII. Indeed, I thought JPIII was far better than the first sequel, and one of the best action films I've seen in a while. Yes, its ending was weak; at least it made sense. I'll get to that in a moment . . . PotA was not really well-directed, which is a first for Burton. There's some beautiful imagery in the film, yes, but Burton's action scenes are chaotic. Poorly shot, poorly paced, poorly edited. The plot is loopy, the characters less real than in JPIII (which was far from Shakespeare itself), and the ending . . . My god, the ending . . . I actually cringed. I don't think I've done that before. But I cringed.

    Ultimately, a film must be judged in reference to its ambitions. Jurassic Park III was a 'B' movie monster film, unlike the previous two; as such, it rocked. PotA strained at some points to be more -- to be meaningful social commentary; to be allegory; to be a Jurassic Park-esque fable about the evils of science run amok. In all of those respects it failed utterly. It was a film that could have been much more, tried to be much more, and wasn't. This makes the film a failure in my eyes.

    5) The endings. Ugh. This summer hasn't been a good year for endings. Tomb Raider's finale was a tad overblown. I initially felt A.I.'s ending was sentimental tripe. (I've since reevaluated and come to a vastly different conclusion.) Jurassic Park III was anti-climactic. PotA was gimmicky and utterly, utterly, utterly, utterly stupid. It tried to be clever; it was clever to the extent that the average SNL sketch is poignant.

    JPIII: The ending was (more or less) fine. I liked the surreal 'guy on the beach.' Yeah, it was contrived, but much less so than the ending to the original JP. (C'mon; how likely is it the T.rex happened by just in time?) The problem, of course, wasn't with the ending, but with the scene before it. If there was more build-up to the conclusion -- an extended, more exciting raptor encounter; a scene with Ellie calling the army -- then the film's climax and conclusion would have worked.

    Plan of the Apes' ending would have been fine -- were it not for the final twelve or thirteen seconds. Of course I knew that earth would become an ape planet. The moment Mark Whalberg boarded his shuttle and Danny Elfman's music refused to triumph, I inwardly groaned.

    Here's my problem with the ending: I have discussed it with several friends (including a third-year student of physical engineering and a second-year student of astrophysics, among others planning to enter similar programs in the coming year), and it is absolutely impossible that earth could have become over-run by apes. Unless I missed something major -- I don't think I did -- the ending plain didn't make sense.

    As a film student that sort of thing really bugs me. When a director says, 'Hey, that'd be a cool thing to include in the film; it would make absolutely no sense, but it'd be cool.' That's cheap, unimaginative, contrived. I felt cheated.

    People here have commented that critics that disliked the ending simply didn't understand it. Okay, go ahead: I'm a critic of sorts; I and my friends were baffled by it -- so how did it happen? How does that ending make sense? I'd love to know.

    Okay, that's my rant. I love Tim Burton, but I didn't like this movie. I think the final seconds of that film were simply the worst few seconds of film I've seen in my life, and I've seen a lot of bad movies. I've seen movies by Joel Schumacher and Ed Wood.

    -Host

    P.S.: Whoever argued that PotA is better because Tim Burton was a better director is *wrong*. Spielberg is, in my studied opinion, a brilliant filmmaker, but TLW sucked (as did a couple of his other movies). Joel Schumacher is . . . Joel Schumacher, yet he made Falling Down, one of my favorite films.

    P.P.S.: I think DarkKnight was right on one point. In ten years, A.I. will be the movie we all remember this sumemr.

    POTA was terrible it got some good reviews because of burtton THATS IT.
    JP3 got better reviews than Americas sweetharts too!

    PLANET OF THE APES WAS BETTER. Most critics didn't like the ending cause they don't like to think about it. They just want to sit in their chairs and go "ahhhh that was cool". Most don't even relize that POTA was not only about the story but how we can view ourselfs very closely to apes, and every thing we believe in. JPIII was about dianousers trying to eat people.

    If you want to compare critics from one movie to another, than you will have to compare the average people as well, and not just the ones from this site. Most people I talk to think POTA is a much better movie than JPIII. Not much of an ending in JPIII but POTA hits you with (spoilers) "In Memory of Genarl Thade..." in the Lincoln memorial. Movies that make you think (JP) are good.

    I did like JPIII though, but the ending sucked.

POTA was way to overhyped, nowhere near as good as it sould have been, and that ending was just plain confusing. JP3 gets the edge, because of the action and the humor.

    First, I think everyone knows what is my opinion and what is news..

Its storyline was all over the place, characters appeared out of nowhere (the kid), and others just stood there and looked pretty with their mouths open (the human chick). The movie was really funny when it tried not to be (were we really supposed to laugh at apes being blown up during the climatic final battle??)

    I did not like ether movie. But Tim Burton is a much better director Than Joe Johnson. Joe Johnson single handedly destroyed The Jurassic Park franchise with his bone headed choice to shoot a film with out a script. Well, there is only Two Jurassic Park film in my opinion, and Jurassic Park 3 is not one of them.

    P.S. This is a Jurassic Park site, Dan is not going to like anything that is not Jurassic park. Judging by the Positive spin he just gave to Jurassic Park 3’s Box Office, We are not going to get anything near what is really happing to the movie.

    Dan, you may think that POTA sucks, BUT THAT'S JUST YOUR OPPINION. I think it's good. And so do millions & millions of other people. You're not just reporting the news, Mr. Fienkelstein, you're also stating you're oppinion like it's a fact.

    SO STICK THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT, DAN!!!

    I wish what? That Joe Johnston isn't as good of a director as Tim Burton? Come on...honestly! You really think Joe Johnston is a BETTER director than Tim Burton? No way! Atleast Tim Burton gave us something original and didn't just try to copy the original film. Joe Johnston mostly took Steven Spielberg's style and made a lesser movie than the first film. I really like JP3 but I loved Planet of the Apes! Why should we even fight on which makes more money or has better reviews!? A year from now, will it matter? People will be fighting about Spider-Man vs. Star Wars: Episode II! Or Lord of the Rings vs. Star Wars: Episode II!! In the end, which film will be remembered more 10 years from now!! I say...A.I.!!!

    Yes, Planet of the Apes was a better directed film than Jurassic Park III! Thats a FACT! Joe Johnston can't touch Tim Burton! Take a look at these films and tell me which you preffered. Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Jumanji, October Sky, The Rocketeer OR Batman, Batman Returns, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Sleepy Hollow. Enough said.

    It really does not matter if Jurassic Park 3 is better rated than Planet Of the Apes. What matters is Box Office, and While Jurassic Par 3 is leading, Planet Of The Apes Will surpass it by the End Of the mouth. Judging on how fast Planet Of the Apes is making money, it will surpass Jurassic Park 3.
