the first movie is my favorite movie of all time the second film, Beneath, is very good, and is just about as great as the first-great plot, and the suspense keeps you glued to the screen like the first, dying to find out what will happen next I'm sorry ,but the later three don't do it for me like the first two, and are a little lacking (but the first two are so great, they are a hard act to follow) of the last three, the third film Escape is the one that approaches the thrill of the first two the most, but as i say, just approaches it |

The first movie is great. I also really enjoy Conquest for the Planet of the Apes. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

Loved the original movie,and the first sequel isn't bad.The bad thing about the franchise is that the more popular it got,the less the studio wanted to spend on it.So the budget got smaller and smaller and the movies suffered because of it. -------------  |

Used to watch it every week when I was a kid,even had the action figures.I think SyFy rebroadcast it awhile and I rewatched it and it's pretty bad.I guess you had to be a young kid in the 70's to appreciate it. ------------- |

Thanks again for your answers,I've heard about the new movie and to be frank I really don't care about it.By the way,what do you all think about Jerry Goldsmith's soundtracks of Planet of the apes?

No word about the Tim Burton's version? Many people dislike, but I've enjoyed it.

I read the very short book Logan's Run when I was a kid(still got it,just checked the copyright and I bought my version in 76 when I was 10 years old)and loved it.The sequel Logan's World isn't bad,but I read my copy to tatters and it's now out of print. Since I started with the books I was very disappointed with the movie(they have been trying to get a remake off the ground for years but still "no go").But oddly enough I liked the series and have it on dvd.You should give it a try again sometime. ------------- |

| ^ I too bought the novels at about 11 after seeing and liking the movie, didn't care for the show-- as for Apes, the original movies are fun, and I have vague memories of the show with the two Starsky&Hutch-like guys but it didn't do much for me.. and I actually think the new Apes movie looks kinda good, that last one with Wahlberg was well-made but disappointing IMO |

By the way I've just watched Michael Radford's 1984 again,what do you think?It's one of my personal favourites thanks to John Hurt and Richard Burton.Great music too and Eurythmics'Sex Crime is a good song.Double Plus Good! ------------- I was born in the land of Mahavishnu,not so far from Kobaia.I'm looking for the world of searchers with the help from crimson king |

^ I liked that one, it illustrated the book very well and the atmosphere was tremendously effective, but it is so dark and dreary that I didn't need to see it more than twice or so (whereas the book was so joyous and uplifting ) |
