I'd put it above Pirates of the Carribean but below Harry Potter.

Also wanted to show you guys this, haha

Its definitely above Harry Potter. Harry Potter has had only one truly great entry (Prisoner of Azkaban). Planet of the Apes has had at least 4.

I’ll give you Star Wars, but after that, Planet of the Apes is the king franchise. They invented the sci-if franchise.

Roddy McDowell was the GOAT.

LOTR is way better than Planet of the Apes. I don’t care about the history, LOTR is superior in every way

Great acting - Chuck Heston, Roddy McDowell, Kim Hunter, James Whitmore - that's a lot of firepower for a product like that.

I'm sorry but anyone who discredits Potter is dumb.

SW

LOTR

Apes/Potter

Although, original Apes is probably better than Potter, the last 4 Potter movies are the most rewatchable movies I've ever encountered

Considering the Harry Potter movies suck balls in comparison to their novels, I would say planet of the apes is better. The first movie alone is better than the entire HP franchise. POTA has some shitty ones too tho.

Can we all agree to point and laugh at Fewer Kilometers for another incredibly dumb take?

Do you have an actual opinion on the thread topic or are you just here to troll me again...

Have you only seen like 5 movies? 1 of them is objectively awful, another completely shits the bed in the finale, and the other two are decent.

Every PotA movie is legit. From the 2001 Tim Burton remake to the crazy arse sequels that came out in the 70's. I personally think the new trilogy, while great, is the low water mark in the franchise.

PotA is far and away better than the Back to the Future franchise.

Harry Potter is closer to Back to the Future, just in my opinion!
