You do realize Burton's film ended pretty similar to the novel, right? So your order is all messed up, since the novel comes first. Shyamalaned?

Essentially, Sterling, etc. took a book with a bum bum bummmm surprise twist at the end, and instead revamped that into a more poignant social commentary, in which the twist organically perfectly matched the progression and themes of the film and provided a different perspective for the entire film on rewatch (Zaius was actually justified in his viewpoint, given that humanity's violent nature and destroying itself is what created the society as-is). Since everyone already knew that twist when the movie was remade, they attempted to just do the original book twist with a few small changes (no robots, no disbelief from the apes, etc.) for the Burton movie instead. However, as stated, it wasn't as good of a twist, so nobody liked it as much. It's just that 99% of people didn't really know it was based on the original. Fun Burton connection fact, the ape planet in the book's sun was Betelgeuse.

PriorMarcus posted:My girlfriend thought it was a dumb mindless action film and the moment when Cesar first speaks was dumb. I've broken up with women for less. Clearly not compatible as an earlier poster said. I don't think Burton's movie is "bad" - the makeup and the villain make it rise above that on its own due to having such interesting elements to it. It, however, is one of the most purely mediocre movies I've seen, which makes it almost a waste of time, outside of those elements above.
