Why would you want it to be simple?

I'm with Sam here, there is but one thing this movie loses to the original for, and that is the BORING main character.

I have to sorta agree, the remake uses too much CGI and abandons more traditional methods.

You all suck testis. The reason this is so great is how amazing the footage is. The original is a piece of shit stop motion animated failure. This is amazing film making!

Evidence that some opinions are simply too stupid to count.

Yeah a saving-point for any critic to say, 'unmatchable to original' :P :D

Okay, I can appreciate the original for what it was. If it weren't for that movie, this movie would not have happened, (most likely.) But why would you want a newer movie to match the simplicity of the original? For one thing, the original is over simplistic. The dame in distress, scared of the big ape, and saved by the men only to crawl on the empire state's building until the bad ape dies. Naomi Watts brings life into her time spent with the ape, and learns to love him. How anyone would prefer the original screaming Faye Ray is beyond me. She was a good screamer, but not very convincing as to the realism of the situation.

critics always play the i'm-too-hard-to-please character when they themselves do nothing relevant. Lazy oafs...
