2018 marks 50 years since the release of the first Planet of the Apes film. Since then, we've seen the original spawn an additional four chapters, a modern-day reboot in 2001, and a second reboot trilogy which ended just last year.
Critical acclaim hasn't been kind to Planet of the Apes. Audiences have make known their apathy to the series in recent times, although the original sparked the imaginations of many, especially those who were quite young at the time.

'Good face-off! And nice job with the link back to this thread. :)
May I suggest just a few edits to the title and intro? The intro. is very good, by the way. I just noticed a little typo (I'm guessing you meant "make" to be "made"). As far as "Face-Off" go, we just try to have one standard format for all of the face-offs, which is in bold below.

Done! Thanks very much. Feel free to offer any other suggestions, if anything crosses your mind!
Just to fill out your information some more, the first series of “Planet of the Apes” was not a trilogy but a series of five films by various directors (with degrading special effects make-up with each film). There also was two tv series too. One was animated.
The first film series:
Planet of the Apes (1968)
Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)
Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)
Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)
The tv series:
Planet of the Apes (1974)
The animated tv series:
Return to the Planet of the Apes (1975 - 1976)

Good point. I've decided to make a point of including only live-action film adaptions, as now reflected in the poll, as I had no intention of bringing TV into the question.
Thanks for your help again!

Ariel,
Sorry, for not mentioning this earlier.
The IMDb editors prefer that film titles are enclosed in single quotes and television series titles are enclosed in double quotes. Would you mind changing the title of your list from:
Planet of the Apes Face-Off
To:
'Planet of the Apes' Face-Off

Done! Is that a system invented by the IMDb editors, or is it universal?

Ariel,
Thank you for updating the title of your list. I've adjusted the title of this thread accordingly.
The IMDb editors use a variation of the Associated Press (AP) style book. Here are two references:
https://www.apstylebook.com/
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/735/02/
However, from what I've been able to tell, the IMDb editors use of single quotes for film titles and double quotes for television titles is a convention that may be unique to IMDb.
Here is a link to a web application for title capitalization you may find helpful. Select Title Case and AP.

Ariel,
Even though it is clear what we should vote for, a poll should always have a question.
So perhaps instead of:
"Vote for your ideal simian franchise below"
you could ask:
Which is your ideal simian franchise?
