The remake's ending was just absurd. We're expected to believe that the apes would, given enough time, build a city that looked exactly like Washington DC complete with a Lincoln Memorial (does that mean that there was once an ape Civil War and an ape Gettysburg Address?). It didn't take animal senses to smell a "trick" ending coming when Marky Mark came zooming back to Earth. The original's ending was genuinely surprising at least and didn't require a complete suspension of all critical faculties.
