Some may have you believe that this film is unfairly judged and the Richard Stanley version would have been a triumph. Neither are true. This film was always destined to be a B-movie and the blame cannot be put on Brando, Kilmer or Frankenheimer solely. Even Thewlis puts in a cringe inducing performance, who can blame him with the campy source material he and everyone had to work with. This film is like a compilation of all the worst bits of the original Planet of the Apes movies.
