I have to say that last trailer really connected with me. I am very much looking forward to this. Probably my most anticipated film of this summer.
I feel the exact same way. I don't have any real interest in any of the other so-called summer "blockbusters", but I am
really looking forward to ROTPOTA.
Though the ending of ROTPOTA seems to be under wraps so far, I just hope it does justice to the franchise. And, I hope it keeps the door open for a potential sequel. What I definitely
don't want to see is some cookie-cutter Hollywood ending where everything is wrapped up. I hope it's similar to the ending of the original "Conquest", where the Apes had taken over the compound, and the implication was that they would continue to take over more of the world at that point; Of course, in the continuity established in these original films, the Apes' take-over was helped along by the devastating war that took place sometime after the events in "Conquest".
I also wanted to add that though the Tim Burton 2001 film has been unfairly maligned over the years (though I liked it), what some people don't seem to remember is that it
was a financial success in the theatre. So, if that's any indication, hopefully this new one will do well also. I think there are a lot of people (like me) who have fond memories of the original films, so hopefully that nostalgia will fuel interest in this new film.
