History YMMV / PlanetOfTheApes2001

'''Instead:''' He waits until Thade sees the gun, then he starts to go for it. Thades shove him down and goes right for the gun.

* OlderThanTheyThink: The infamous twist ending was inspired by [[Literature/PlanetOfTheApes the original novel by Pierre Boulez]], where [[spoiler:Ulysse escapes from Soror (the literal eponymous planet) and returns to the Earth, but during the time which passed, Earth was taken over by apes as well.]]

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The only aspect of the movie that excels the 1968 one, particularly regarding make-up.
* WhatAnIdiot: When Leo is fighting Thades, he notices his gun which is a few feet away.\\

* AwesomeMusic: Music/DannyElfman hasn't lost his touch. The main titles theme particularly stands out.
* HamAndCheese: Thade, to the point where there's compilation videos of his over the top acting.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The only aspect of the movie that excels the 1968 one, particularly regarding make-up.

* LoveItOrHateIt: It's either a SoOkayItsAverage film that just [[ToughActToFollow can't compare to the original]] or downright horrible.

* {{Narm}}: Many of the apes' antics, which are a little too much like those of the real deal.

* {{Squick}}: Leo the human kissing Ari the chimpanzee on the lips.

* {{Squick}}: Leo the human kissing Ari the chimpanzee on the lips. Eww. Just... just ew.

* ShockingSwerve: The ending of the 2001 film, where [[spoiler:Lincoln's Memorial is one of Thade, and apes rule the Earth in the present day...somehow.]] Helena Bonham Carter has said she pointed out to Tim Burton that the ending made no sense after reading the script, to which he grinned and said, "I know, isn't it great?"

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Danny Elfman hasn't lost his touch. The main titles theme particularly stands out.

* TooDumbToLive: The entire point of having a chimpanzee as an astronaut is because they're expendable in the case of something going wrong. So ''[[SarcasmMode of course]]'' when something goes wrong, what does Leo do? He promptly chases after him into a SwirlyEnergyThingy. Nicely done, Leo. You endangered your entire ship, and ''doomed humanity''.

** Even that wouldn't account for the presence of gorillas and orangutans, which are substantially larger than chimps and thus, a ''very'' poor choice for [[spoiler: a space mission where food, water, oxygen and living space are all at a premium. Not to mention that sending apes to space is already {{Zeerust}}, as [=NASA=] quite using non-human primates as soon as they were sure it was feasible to bring ''humans'' back safely.]]
