I am open to any superhero or sci-fi movies to review. So if you have any suggestions let me know.

I can most likely be able to review one suggestion a week.

Metropolis (the 2010 Restored Edition.)  

...or at least,

The Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec.

Metropolis (the 2010 Restored Edition.) Most definately after TFA.  Never saw it and about time I did.

Also going over the year I want to revisit these again.  These all are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. 1968 CLUB,

Does it hold it's own against the Matt Reeves modern Planet of Apes trilogy in your opinion?

To me 1968 Planet of the Apes is a real special movie. Never seems to get old.

Planet of the Apes the original is a classic in my opinion

It doesn't.

I think Schaffner's politics of the era were more painted more universally and not as heavy-handed as the ones like War of the Planet of the Apes.

Despite, the rough effects in the 60's, it still feels realer than some of "cutting-edge CG" in the first two.  F-it, the second one had instances that pulled you right out the movie (apes of horseback.)  If the motion-actors weren't so good, the movie would have been a total loss.

The Reeves films are incredibly strong as a whole, but very weak separately. That's my opinion.

Plus, who doesn't tire of looking at Linda Harrison?  It's funny to see her in ape make-up in a make-up test with Edward G. Robinson.

Kind of like King Kong (1933,) where it basically stopped aging and you can find new stuff in every time you watch it.

This scene hasn't been topped in all the King Kong remakes.

Of the Matt Reeves Trilogy I liked the first one the best.

Had a more human quality to it than the other two.

Yeah, I liked Dawn the best too.
