Review of Planet of the Apes (1968) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 07 May 1981
Planet of the Apes is much better than I expected it to be. It is quickly paced, completely entertaining, and its philosophical pretensions don't get in the way. If you only condescend to see an adventure thriller on rare occasions, condescend this time.
You have nothing to lower but your brow.
