I can't claim originality on this idea, so I'll credit Steven Barnes (SF author and screenwriter) with it - on his blog <http://darkush.blogspot.com/>.
It's not a horror movie, it's a love story. With the advent of good CGI, Jackson could show facial expression on the ape to demonstrate this.

Exactly. The original *was* a horror movie--and in my opinion Jackson did the story no service by turning it into a love story.
By the way, I thought that the facial expressions on the ape in the 1933 original were amazingly good for 1933.
