Where's the sequel to.....?
OK I thought the Planet of the Apes 2001 ending implied a sequel for sure. Here are some other movies where I thought a 2nd installment was practically a given :
A Bug's Life 2
Starship Troopers 2
X-Files 2
Spiderman 2
Hulk 2
Monsters Inc 2
Nemo 2
ID4 2
Toy Story 3 (ok not a 2nd but still would be a big money maker)
All of these movies beg for sequels and it would be relatively easy to write good sequels for them. So where are they?

As much as I would love to see Goonies 2 I dont think they should ruin such a classic film.
Maybe we can get Howard the Duck Returns in the future...

I think MY COUSIN VINNY was very deserved of a sequel.
Could have helped pesci's film career which has languished since the early 90s.

IIRC there's a diagram on the DVD set that shows the timeline. If you can think four-dimensionally it makes perfect sense.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!
Does it go on to explain why everything in Washington D.C. looks exactly the same, right down to the "APEraham Lincoln Memorial"?
Thought that was Implausible, Cheesy and Lazy all at the same time. LAME!!
I mean c'mon, if they wanna play around with timelines and such, fine, Time travel stories always get some sort of credibility buffer. But, am I supposed to believe that Ape Society would have mirrored human society in every single way? Right down to the freakin monuments and outfits and vehicles? I think that ending was Tim Burton's desperation to please the studio by providing both a twist and an easy opening to a sequel.

I've been wating for YEARS for Leonard, Part 7. 
Now that Disney and Pixar are splitville, expect crappy direct-to-video sequels to Bug's Life, Nemo, etc. just as quickly as the Mouse can squeeze them out. (Pixar always had this crazy idea that a sequel had to be, y'know, good.)

Spoiler:
(I've never read the original novel, but read somewhere that's basically how it ended.)
EDIT: I did a web search for the heck of it and found that my spoiler section is not quite right. There's a pretty good synopsis of the storyline of the original Monkey Planet novel at H2G2:
