Enjoyable sequel but they really killed it with the atrocious hideous humanoids/mutants with telekinetic powers. The follow-up, Escape from the Planet of the Apes was better and captured the social satire of the first in the series.

Re: Beneath the Planet of the Apes A really great sequel. It somewhat starts as what could be a simple rehash but the underneath parts are awesome, makeup is as good as ever, and the ending is very very sad and meaningful at the same time. People always say Planet of hte Apes, but this is only slightly worst in my book.
Escape is pretty good too, but they get a little odd after that, though the story of all of them is pretty well told.

Re: Beneath the Planet of the Apes Mostly meandering and meaningless, until the bizarro mutants show up and the thing just becomes utterly ridiculous. I liked the uncompromisingly bleak ending, though.

Re: Beneath the Planet of the Apes Agreed, you could never make a big budget sequel like this again. Kill all the new characters, bring back your hero of the first film in the end to kill him, and destroy the entire world.

Re: Beneath the Planet of the Apes It's a movie saved by its third act. The first 2/3rds are quite difficult to get through.
