Envisioned as a bold and exotic adaptation of its iconic source material, Burton's Planet of the Apes ultimately failed to capture the same level of success as the original films.
Providing a creative overhaul of the entire Planet of the Apes saga, Burton's 2001 film starred Mark Wahlberg as Leo Davidson, a daring astronaut who finds himself stranded on a strange planet ruled by talking apes who have long since enslaved humanity.
In spite of its financial success at the box office, however, many viewers and critics were divided over the movie's tone, pacing and infamously polarizing twist ending.
Some, like Rolling Stone's Peter Travers, were even more blunt in their assessment of the movie. "Call it a letdown, worsened by the forces of shoddy screenwriting," Travers wrote. "To quote Heston in both films, 'Damn them, damn them all'"
