Who else loves Maurice?

In Dawn of the planet of the apes that whole scene where Koba leads the apes to fight the humans has to be one of the best cinematic scenes I have ever seen in my life.

Koba was the joker in Dawn. I gonna take this gun and make these bullets disappear. Koba is one of the best non human villains of all time

"NO!"That my friends, is a quote I will never forget.

That "Noooo!!!" Could've been heard for miles.

"Dawn" is by far the best movie of the franchise. Also, because it works as a single movie, you dont need to watch any other.

The new franchise's acting, CGI & Motion Capture is legendary. Andy Serkis is just amazing.

The original is an absolute classic, years ahead of its time, but the reboot trilogy is simply stunning. Rebooting a beloved franchise and having the reboot and both sequels be of such consistently great quality is something we rarely see these days, and the reboots have to be one of the best trilogies I've ever seen.

Both are good for the time they were made.

new franchise is much better

I don't care what people say about them, I will always hold a special place in my heart for the originals. (I do love the reboot franchise though.)

I just love the 70's ambiance of the original's background music.Something about it is just pleasing to my ears.

I love the original planet of the apes because it takes me back to when I was a boy and my brother and I saw all 5 movies at our local cinema. I also love the new versions as well.

There's no doubt that the original series has its own iconic moments and charm. But in terms of characters, story and drama; the reboot stands superior. Which is surprising because almost always, reboots are garbage

Original: Discrimination Reboot: Animal Abuse

Honestly I'm a sucker for classics but the reboot franchise in my opinion is just better but that doesn't mean I hate the original, I think the original was a great movie but I like the new movies better

I’m gonna be honest, the new movie series should be more recognized in my opinion as it’s one of my favourite movie series of all time. The beautiful soundtrack (especially in the second and last one) AND the stories for each movie always keep the audience watching and re-watching in the future. Barely any trilogies have the power to keep making the next movie even better and more interesting except the new movie series wit Caesars story. Mad respect for the new trilogy fr

I think there's more to the original than the new. The character depth is a lot stronger in the old one..

I honestly love both of them equally each unique in their own ways

Cesar's speech by Roddy McDowell is timeless

I wonder what the story would be if Caesar hadn't tried to protect Will's father.

And the winner is... Sharknado

The original franchise from 1968 to 1974 is king. When I was young our bikes were horses and any toy machine gun or rifle were Apes rifles. We played very active Planet of the Apes role play make believe games. Running, jumping, wrestling, fast riding our bikes. The new franchise has not had that kind of impact on today's kid's activities. Plus the iconic original concept makeup is far more impressive than the safe make them look like real apes look. The original franchise was Star Wars before Star Wars. Masks from 3 different companies. Costumes from only one. Action figures, comic books, magazines. All 5 movies released in theaters, puzzles, novels, wastepaper baskets, Apes piggy banks, model kits. All that made being a kid fun and exciting. And now 50 years later on the anniversary of the first movie the whole original franchise is still thrilling. The original was a seismic shift in cultural events. The new movies are just movies.

Dawn was more than a "solid sequel" that shit was jaw-dropping

The original is a classic and he best 'planet of the apes' movie. But the sequels to it are meh/shit imo. Whereas the reboot trilogy has equally great movies. Therefore I prefer the reboot although the original is one of my favourite movies

I thought the new franchise was a prequel series. Edit: Nevermind, I watched the originals again. The prequels are Conquest of and Battle for. Escape from is a semi-sequel, it takes place both after and before the originals, the movies were caused by a time paradox where Cornelius and Zira’s son, Caesar, leads the ape revolution.

"We, who are not human, can afford to be humane." Love that line.

It's important to remember that the novel's story was altered quite a bit for the original film so it'd be cheaper to make and to get Heston on board. Nobody was planning for a franchise, and even when Fox would eventually decide they wanted a sequel, they'd skimp on the budget, which in turn affected how each installment was written. The last one only had like $1 million to work with. These days we expect sequels. The new franchise seems to be not only what's possible with modern movie-making techniques (camerawork, editing, and plot structure as well as believable CGI), but also with respect for the source, and a modern mindset and perspective -- audiences are willing to cheer on the apes as they overthrow humanity because a character like Caesar is no longer presented as a novelty. I was really glad they didn't do an actual rewrite or re-envisioning because I can enjoy them as a part of the overall story, rather than focusing so much on comparing a new version to the old.

The new ones are a lot better

OMG, children here crying about how the old ones look stupid, LOL! I'm just 17 years old but please have respect for the old ones.. they are classics.

I like the classic movies better

Can't we all just agree the Tim Burton version sucked ass??

New one....sorry I just like it better.

I like how they don't even waste time mention the early 2000's ones with Mark Wahlberg

I loved the old series especially Conquest, but the reboot was not only a pleasant surprise but a genuinely better film. In my opinion I thought the reboot did a fine job recreating the franchise from new grounds and just in general left a very strong impression. I am very excited to go and watch War For the Planet of The Apes when I get a chance.

The end of the original Apes movie is one of the greatest plot twists/reveals of all time.

I remember watching the old franchise as a kid and was so stoked for the new ones and was not disappointed at all. The original and Conquest are definitely the strongest of the old films (though all are great imho) However I love the in-depth characters, more scientificly grounded plot, and tighter narrative of the new movies (I'll always remember sitting in the theater for Rise and when Ceaser first spoke there was complete silence. Then one guy said "Oh shit, the monkey talked!" and everyone just laughed. Most real experience I ever had at a theater.)

Disagree, Original is better, New is pretty good, but the original was more powerful and the first one alone carries it to victory. And the sequels get more hate than they deserve and actually are decent films

I like the storyline of the older ones

The old ones are classic and nostalgic, but the new ones are fuckiNG EPIC

How they are so fast to make a video and put it on KZfaq

New franchise is a lot better than the old franchise

The new franchise is the best franchise I have ever seen in my life

I always had a soft spot for Escape, if only because of what happens in it. I've always loved stories like that.

I love the new franchise

I'm a retro type of guy and I love the original series

Anybody else cry during War for the Planet of the Apes😭 I cried atleast 5 times

Let's just forget about Tim Burtons remake...

In the new movies rocket 🚀 is my favorite ape but in the originals it was Cornelius

RIP Caesar.

The new Caesar is honestly really fucking intimidating! Especially with that war paint on his face.

Forget King Kong, Caesar is the true King of the Apes!

What I like about the reboots are that they get better with each movie

*Cringes in knowing that there is gonna be a joke relating to Harambe*

The old one will always be better, it has a timeloop story related to the birth of Ceaser which is cool and was all done during Vietnam (68-73) so had lots of social commentary that's still relevant and can be dissected many ways in Philosphy, PoliSci, Sociology classes, probably Anthro too. It's just genius on many levels but yes graphically it looks cheesy to Millennials but the new one does take some aspects of that to make it still thoughtful and worthy of being deep. Hope the new one is great! I do see how there, as a whole, are many more boring parts to the original (mainly in the 2nd and 5th one) but still I think has enough staying power. I have read the original book and recommend it, it's like reading a cool Twilight Zone episode!

Im not taking sides here but the original 1968 movie is a masterpiece and anyone who disagrees with that needs there head checking. Not saying that i dont love the new movies though!

OG fans will be like "NO"

As someone who saw the new franchise first, I was already impressed by the movies alone but watching the originals after not only made me appreciate both franchises but changed some of the ways I had seen the new franchise making it more impactful since I didnt know the references to the older ones being made.

The new franchise was so enjoyable. All three movies were awesome

"I love you Doctor Zaius!"

The originals are classics, and had amazing CGI effects for its time! But the reboot is like one of my favourite movies! Amazing!

Let's be honest, the new ones shit on the old ones

Something to consider here: The original Apes movies were done at a time when sequels weren't common. None of them were even thought of when the original was being made. With the reboots, the entire life story of Caesar was plotted out and planned ahead for all three movies. In the originals, the studio demanded a sequel after the success of the first movie. And so it was written. The writers were trying to put a stop to any more sequels by having Taylor destroy the Earth. But the studio demanded one, hence the "time travel back" plot. Also, the budgets for the original movies were slashed due to the box office bombing of OTHER movies. The Apes movies were each successful, yet each succeeding one was allocated a lot less money to make. One last thing; the ending to Battle for the Planet of the Apes, where John Houston's performance of the Law Giver was accompanied by a statue of Caesar crying literally brings a tear to my eye, no matter how many times I've seen it. Aside from the "Statue of Liberty" reveal, it's the most emotion driven scene in all of the apes movies.

Just stating that the Caesar from the original franchise was the grandson from the Caesar of the new franchise, considerating that in the War for the Planet of the Apes, was stablished that, from the Caesar family, the only whose survive was the little Cornellius. Probably, Zaius is son of Maurice.

Why is it, whenever watchmojo shows CGI it looks so shit especially in comparison to when i watched the movie myself?

this is like the dark knight trilogy

There's no "ape" movie that'll top the ending of the first one. Taylor, the Statue of Liberty, & "DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL"! Likewise, with films such as "Psycho", the surprise ending blew everyone away. We, along with Taylor, soon learned that we'd been back on earth all the time, and we all felt Taylor's shock & pain to the max.

The rare time when a reboot franchise is way better that the original franchise

To be honest, I think the Rise Trilogy is better. Not only did it give us a rather believable backstory as to how the Apes rose to power over the course of just three films. But the drama, the action and the characters just resonate a bit stronger for me. When I saw how horribly the Apes were being treated, I actually felt HAPPY that humans were dying. Whereas with the original series; the humans aren't that likeable (to me,) the action didn't quite feel that exciting and there was no diversity among the looks of the Apes. In the Rise Trilogy; every primate had its own unique look, personality and stature. Despite them both being chimps; I could actually tell Caesar and Koba apart from each other based on their stature, mannerisms, behavior and personalities. Whereas in the original...the Apes all looked exactly the same (and I don't mean that in a racist way.) I couldn't tell one from the other, due to how they looked and acted. Plus, as cool as it would seem to have fully intelligent, standing upright apes dominate the humans; having them manage to outfight, outsmart AND out-hunt the humans while still looking like typical primates left more of an impression with me. Seeing Caesar and his hunting party take on a herd of deer AND a bear with a relative ease in Dawn was awesome to see. The same thing could be said with watching these "dumb animals" (as Gary Oldman's character call them) take the humans down with equal skill in a fight. Meanwhile, the original version of the Ape warriors showed little to no sign of their original ape abilities (which...I suppose was due to there being no motion-capture CG in the old days.) Still, seeing the OG Apes fight isn't all that impressive; after watching the ones from the Rise Trilogy fight

Yes, yes, YES! The Planet of the Apes Reboot Trilogy is just epic on so many levels.

Who watch the whole classic movies 🍿 to be prepared for the new movie 😅

This kind of makes me want to experience being an ape in ceasar's tribe

planet of watch mojo's*

i love how you just ignore the 2001 film

Fun fact: Koba dies the exact way Jacob died in rise Caeser rejects Jacob and he falls to his death and Caeser rejects Koba and he falls to his death

Your vs. series is always obvious. you just give each one a point after the other

people need to watch all 5 original films before rushing to praise the reboots.

I can't be the only one that thinks the plot, effects, actors, and overall feel of the original one is WAY BETTER?!?!

I saw the original around the time of rise of the planet of the apes, but damn that ending had me jumping out of my seat

I love your videos dude

The original one looks weird. ;-;

The originals will always be better in my opinion, watching the story of a very possible future fold it out is amazing with the best cast and one liners ever, the new series is very good but its just not as good as the original.

The new trilogy is miles better Way more realistic And im not talking about just the special effects The whole idea and setting is miles better

The original planet of the apes looks like they are about to go on a robbery at bank

Nothing Beats The 1968 Original.

I love both versions! But I personally prefer the Original, it felt more fun and unique to me while being a tragic never ending cycle of destruction.

its been only 5 days that the last movie was out that ive seen it 2 times already, so damn good

Both series are amazing. The entire Planet of The Apes franchise from 1968-2017 are masterpieces. And I am a huge Planet of The Apes fan😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

For me I like all of the films past and present and even the TV series. I was brought up on the originals so they will always hold a special place within me. Yes the newer ones are going to look so far superior due to the upgrade in visual effects. But the originals will always be my favourites.

I agree. The new ones pay such a great service to the original, and its ideas. They are both great movies, and hopefully the next ones will be too. You can't beat the original. I remember watching the first one for the first time as a kid, many many years after they were all done. I had the hardest time watching them. They were waking nightmares. Which is what i assume they were supposed to be. Overall the new ones are better, only because the original sequels were done slightly under duress, and that is very obvious in each following movie. First 3 were spectacular in their own rights. The next 2? Mmm, not so much. lol

Let's be real why even compare, the original is great, but the new one keep you wanting more...

for making me cry the new franchise wins R.I.P Buck 😭

The new films are clearly better because they look better, they're newer and better acted

I love the old films they were actors not CGI

Here is what happened. Planet of the Apes was literally the first movie franchise as we know it today. That meant that in 1968 there was no concept of a franchise and no planning for one when producing the first film. In fact the actor who pushed to get the film made in the first place, Charlton Heston, absolutely no need for a follow-up film and when finally having his arm Twisted to do it still made them agree to use him only sparingly which limited their choices in writing the screenplay. That meant all of the latter part of the film with the radioactive New York and the radioactive people was meant to go on much much longer and was supposed to be the main part of the film. But with Heston not cooperating they had to waste a bunch of time in this film with other actors and save has to ingest for the ending which really screwed up their creative ideas for what they could do. Because the original screenplay made no room for sequels it meant they were having their backs pushed against the wall writing wise where they had to figure out how to continue a series when the world is destroyed. The bottom line is that the original series was forced to undergo plot twists as it went along that were not cohesive and even somewhat plausible together compared to the reboot Series. The first series had holes in its plot that never were really explained at least not believably. Anyway because it was such a shocking success in the early part of 1968 that the 20th Century Fox executives pressed producer Richard Zanuck and Charlton Heston to make another film and withheld other projects they wanted to force them into it. If they had understood just how huge and what potential Planet of the Apes actually could have this thing would have been planned out well like the reboot was. And then they would have understood that they could not just cut the budget with every successive pota movie making them more and more cheap looking. The success came as a complete shock to everybody in the business just like they were shocked at the success of Jaws 7 years later. And that film had really really really unnecessary sequels that sucked unbelievably hard. The one thing the original Series has is the writing of the first film. It had incredible original outside the box thinking. The French author who wrote the original novel saw the original 1968 film and in an interview I read this man was absolutely kicking himself that he did not think of that ending.

But did we see Koba's death??In films,if we didn't see a body dead,it didn't happen.

Nothing beats the original

Old franchise is better in every aspect

sometimes i click on watchmojo videos just for the backgorund music the background music for this video is my favourite

I watched Rise in a high-school trip and it caught us all by surprise. The "NO" moment was chilling AF
