Bring back real costumes and real stunts.
With the millions of dollars the have for these movies can't they afford some real actors with top notch costumes and make up?
The apes in the failed Planet of the Apes in 2001 starring Wahlberg, directed by Tim Burton, was a terrible terrible film, but it had some great make up!
The apes in 2001 looked great, much better than these fucking digital cartoon monkeys.
The brain can detect real from fake, and real has a much better impact on the brain and the emotions while watching a film. These fake cartoon apes don't carry any weight in the emotional aspects and are just eye candy.

You're talking about something called the "Uncanny Valley" which is sort of a way of saying that CG characters that are very realistic, tend to look more fake.
CG artists are getting better at this. Tron Legacy was a good example, and RISE Of The Planet of the Apes (
