| 1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Leonard Rosenman's score is often held up as one of the film's main saving graces, and it helps that it's far more melodic than the harsh, dissonant score he came up with for ''Film/BeneathThePlanetOfTheApes''. |
| 2 | * CompleteMonster: See [[Monster/PlanetOfTheApes here]]. |
| 3 | * CriticalBacklash: Despite the movie's particularly poor reception, there are some fans who feel that the series ''needed'' to get a LighterAndSofter ending after the bleakness of the preceding films and feel that this movie accomplished that without sacrificing too much of the series's tone and themes. Some of the performances are also decently liked. |
| 4 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: Virgil is sixth in the credits, but is one of the best regarded characters in the movie, for being a compassionate and reasonable OmnidisciplinaryScientist who is played by Music/PaulWilliams and is the first heroic named orangutan character in the franchise. |
| 5 | * HarsherInHindsight: The rather pathetic-looking, cobbled-together vehicles that the mutant human army use in their attack on the apes' settlement, now are like the notorious [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_(vehicle) "technicals"]] which plague warzones in North Africa, Somalia, and the Middle East. |
| 6 | * JustHereForGodzilla: Some fans only give the movie a chance for the battle scene at the end of the movie. |
| 7 | * MoralEventHorizon: For the apes, [[spoiler: Aldo killing Cornelius is seen as this. Only Caesar seems particularly upset after Aldo dies, since his killing of him violates ApeShallNeverKillApe]]. |
| 8 | * {{Sequelitis}}: Widely agreed to be not only the worst of the original five ''Planet of the Apes'' movies, but also the worst ''Apes'' movie of the entire franchise (aside from possibly the [[Film/PlanetOfTheApes2001 2001 remake]]). The main reasons for this are the budget being slashed to the point where everything looks incredibly cheap, and the writing clearly being pitched to a much younger audience than in the previous films (both of which may be signs that the film was being used as a trial run for the then-upcoming ''Apes'' [[Series/PlanetOfTheApes TV series]]). |
| 9 | * TookTheBadFilmSeriously: The budget may be smaller than the previous films and the plot may be less original, but all of the major actors (with the possible exceptions of the ones playing Aldo, Kolp, and Alma) put an impressive amount of feeling and nuance into their performances. |
