Surprised by the comments here. Of course not on the level of the original, but this is a pretty good reinvention of the franchise. The movie works because Zira and Cornelius are very likable characters, and the second half raises the stakes well from the light-hearted first.
Yes it's obviously low-budget, but it works around it well, and a certain degree of hamminess has been there from the first. 5 years 1 month ago -

My favourite of the sequels. It's terrible but in a charming way. Obviously not a patch on the first film. 12 years 11 months ago -
