I've been liking these films, the newest one is pretty good. I feel like "Rise" is a remake of "conquest for the planet of the apes" and "Dawn" and "war" are a remake of "battle of the planet of the apes". They need to come full circle and have the next film have a fully functioning ape society with the astronauts coming back to earth. Rise of the apes even hinted at this with the newspaper. Anyway that's my hope for the future of the franchise.
