12 Most Insulting Changes To Movie Remakes

The original Planet of the Apes ends on a genuinely great twist as it's revealed our dear hero wasn't on an alien planet after all, but earth far into the future after humans had doomed it. Tim Burton, Mark Wahlberg and a band of actors in ape suits took a stab at remaking this titan of cinema, and the results were very mixed.

It made plenty of changes, and some you could argue for such as the world having a jungle theme rather than desert (how many monkeys do you see in the desert?) but others like the humans being able to speak, and focusing on their uprising rather than Monkey society, kind of defeated the ideas of the original.

After all is said and done, it's the infamous ending that really went down like a cup of cold sick with audiences.

In the climax, our heroes lock the villain, General Thade, in a spaceship huddling under a desk in fear. Marky Mark then takes his trip back to his own planet for the big reveal.

Instead of the iconic Statue of Liberty, we get a monkey-fied version of the Lincoln Memorial, and it made absolutely no sense. Many have claimed Thade simply got there first, but there's no explanation as to how that was even possible and instead of being a horrifying revelation, it just confused everyone.

They wanted to be smart and one-up the original , but instead ended up just annoying everyone with how pretentious it felt.
