So when I saw the trailers and promos for this film, I once again got excited. Then came "Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes," which was a nice effort, great battle scene, but it left me a little cold. I was much older, and the idea of the world being dominated by intelligent apes was intriguing to me. Then Burton’s 2001 film came along (has it really been that long ago?!) and I thought it would be a great opportunity to get onboard with this popular property at the ground floor of a new series. I lost interest as the franchise chugged along, what with the "Conquest" and the "Beneath The Planet," nuclear bombs and mutated humans, etc. I do recall enjoying a children’s book adaptation that came with an actual vinyl 45″ record that you played and listened to voice actors reading the dialogue from the book, which was at most, ten pages long. I think I was just too young to understand the 1968 original. I was never a huge fan of the "Planet Of The Apes" franchise.
