these damn dirty Apes sure have some
cinematic staying power welcome to
watchmojo.com and in this installment of
vs. we’re pitting the old Planet of the
Apes franchise against the new to see
which is superior
before we begin we publish new videos
every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content round one back story and we
shall found our own armies our own
rhetoric our own dynasty at that day
it’s upon you now both Planet of the
Apes franchises follow the clash between
intelligent Apes and humans with each
rooted in the 1963 Pierre Boulle novel
Zeppelin este sang we first get to see
this battle for movies into the original
franchise in the futuristic police state
of 1991 a plague kills all traditional
pets leaving eight as a replacement but
thanks to their ability to learn they
quickly become furry slaves to their
human masters after the super
intelligent Caesar is ripped away from
his loving circus family he sets his
sights on revenge secretly training his
indentured brothers to fight back
ultimately this story from conquest of
the Planet of the Apes is the catalyst
for the events in the rest of the movies
in this franchise look bastard some
reform taking a much more chronological
route the modern franchise focuses on
how the Apes gain control from the first
movie the new Caesar is the son of a
medically enhanced ape and he only grows
more intelligent thanks to the side
effects of an experimental Alzheimer’s
drugs though he was raised by scientists
will Caesar is thrown into captivity
after violently protecting wills father
in public where he’s aggressively
bullied by a zoo guard thanks Zack look
around witnessing how humans mistreat
his kind Caesar works out a way to
escape and enhance the intelligence of
the rest of his species ultimately
leading a battle between Apes and humans
and guiding the Apes to form their own
Society
folks fascinating and unique tales in
their own right
each of these uprisings has powerful
moments but the modern Caesars more
grounded origins told as a tight story
about real Apes fighting back after
years of oppression makes a new series
stand tall winner the new franchise
round two
commentary get your stinking paws off me
you damn dirty ape while the sci-fi
exterior may have thrown some viewers
off the scent
the original films pack in so much
commentary it’s almost overwhelming
tackling race relations of the era the
majority of these movies feature apes in
the place of human biggest but even so
it’s a shocking reflection of the real
world the sequels pull no punches in
their representations of slavery and the
mistreatment of african-americans why
did you turn us from display going on to
explore how power and fear corrupts as
well as the dangers of government and
war the original Planet of the Apes
movies never miss a chance to satirize
our world
updating its critiques for the new
century the reboot franchise focuses its
commentary on humanity’s crimes and
weaknesses in more modern and broader
terms taking a pretty easy swing at the
animal testing industry the first film
not only slams the inherently
destructive and cool nature of the
business
but also makes for a terrifying
worst-case scenario for scientific
experimentation on the whole casting the
rest of its shade not only at
humankind’s potential for evil but also
on the idea that absolute power corrupts
absolutely
the newer films hit a universal note
that’s hard to ignore as accessible in
modern as the newer films are in their
commentary they never seemed to cut as
deep on as many timely issues as the
original the og franchise wins this one
winner
the original franchise this is the best
they’ve got around here in six months
we’ll be running this planet round three
villains yes a very scientist who
imagine insidious Theory called
evolution given that there are five
films in the original franchise and
those five films stretch across
centuries there is ample opportunity for
different kinds of evildoers in the 1968
original dr. Zaius is a defender of
false science and religion commanding
respect and power as the series most
memorable villain
walking fish though he appears in the
second film for the most part the
antagonists throughout the subsequent
sequels are constantly changing and
mostly take the form of faceless
power-hungry groups rather than specific
individuals with the exception of a
couple of cruel goons and the
bloodthirsty gorilla Aldo the desire for
power is the biggest threat in this
series thanks Alice you will call me by
my proper rank general I run a business
not a petting zoo the villains of the
reboot films are anything but faceless
in rise even jacob’s greedy quest to
produce a profitable drug ultimately
causes the downfall of humankind on a
lesser scale though no less horrific
animal caretaker dodges torture of Apes
is sadistic especially considering his
job thank you thinking bara please
but perhaps the reboot franchises most
interesting villain is the damaged war
monger Koba Thanks Sarla Koba he’s been
abused by humans for too long
and now he won’t stop until all humans
are dead even going out of his way to
ruin the strained peace between men and
eight you know even though dr. Zaius is
one of the franchise’s most famous
characters and the original series had
no shortage of evil on either side of
the human ape struggle the newer
franchise has the more defined villains
making them not only memorable baddies
but more compelling as characters as
well winner the new franchise really
round four climactic moments we could
argue that the shocking Statue of
Liberty reveal at the end of Planet of
the Apes is a strong enough climax to
win this round on its own but the
original franchise offers so much more
regardless of the varying quality of the
sequels the original film was followed
up by the shocking revelation that a
race of humans with telepathic powers
survived underground of course the
dystopian ape uprising was as dark
explosive and surprising a finale as
many modern films can muster but perhaps
most surprising was the series finale
which pits ape against eight and in the
process makes them seem more human than
we ever could have imagined I guess you
might say they just joined the human
race
the reboot franchise is competing with
movies that made cinematic history but
it doesn’t dare tread the same ground
carving out its own iconic moments
instead given that the Apes intelligence
was increasing it was a matter of time
before one of them spoke but Cesar’s
show-stopping no moment is so pivotal it
takes the air right out of the room the
sudden plot shifting kills perpetrated
by Koba set both sides on the warpath
and truly blindside the audience and the
sequel ends darkly by subverting the
original ape on a fight as Caesar reject
Koba and allows him to fall to his death
[Music]
[Applause]
the earthly twist carries the original
franchise far but the new series brings
handfuls of memorable movie moments in
fewer movies however given the
consistently powerful scenes throughout
the old series and the famous climax
that put the franchise on the map the
original franchise takes this one winner
the original franchise
you’re brought up round 5 the sequels
with 5 movies in the franchise the
original series boasts more films but
that doesn’t necessarily ensure quality
although it was a box-office hit
critics said the original series felt
pretty flat with its second outing
beneath the Planet of the Apes the next
installment escape from the Planet of
the Apes was well received critically
with the time-travel and racial conflict
themes earning greater focus – so-called
April nuts have already captured the
hearts of the entire American nation in
conquest of the Planet of the Apes the
fourth film we finally see the ape
uprising in all its glory but the fifth
film battle for the Planet of the Apes
is almost universally considered the
weakest link
featuring strong social commentary but a
feeble plot stop stop back the 21st
century Planet of the Apes franchise may
have fewer sequels but that means fewer
chances to dilute the quality the second
film dawn of the Planet of the Apes was
considered a strong follow-up to rise
with a star-studded cast excellent
effects and surprisingly deep emotion in
fact the second film encapsulate various
elements from the original series to
great effect bringing them together into
a tighter and more interesting package
[Applause]
we get all sides of the story no hero is
without flaw no villain is without fair
motivation and the battles do not
disappoint either moving the story
forward believably while telling a
personal and ironically human story don
is a solid sequel in the new franchise
Oh much like gum we on numbers can only
take you so far and with only a couple
of decent sequels in its Canon the
original franchise earns mixed reviews
compared to the new franchises strong
sequel winner the new franchise cut-up
is brain yo buddy battle taking it by a
score of 3 to 2 the new franchise
evolved to be the superior series as a
whole let’s go do you agree with our
