Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Bob GrahamThe new Planet of the Apes is not a remake, and it's not a sequel. It is an amazing display of imagination.
New York Post - 9/10 by Jonathan ForemanThe marvelous Burtonic gothic/nightmare production design -- scenery, weaponry, costumes, etc. constantly pleases the eye without ever distracting you from the plot.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael WilmingtonThis century's Planet of the Apes is a rouser, a screaming-banshee fun house.
Charlotte Observer - 8/10 by Lawrence ToppmanStuff yourself with popcorn, let the gray matter rest and enjoy what may be the best two hours of nonsense you'll see this year.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 8/10 by William ArnoldIt has its flaws, and traditionalists are likely to think it falls well short of its inspiration, but it works on its own terms, it fills the screen with Burtonesque excitement and it strikes me as one of this tepid movie summer's better offerings.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Rita KempleyForget the heavy stuff. This monkey shines.
USA Today - 8/10 by Susan WloszczynaThere's one reason to see Tim Burton's flawed, somewhat declawed but often amusing do-over of Planet of the Apes. The apes. What else?
Newsweek - 8/10 by Jeff GilesHas its flaws, but at its best it’s a fleet, fun action movie -- and certainly one of the cooler blockbusters that Hollywood will cough up this godforsaken summer.
New Times (L.A.) - 7/10 by Robert WilonskyPerfectly acceptable, deliriously charming...a goofy Bmovie dolled up like a square-jawed A-list blockbuster.
Salon.com - 7/10 by Stephanie ZacharekPast the first third, Planet of the Apes is entertaining enough, but it stops far too short of being completely seductive.
