Every time I see someone post this I have to think, "Can you speak (and write) in a 2nd language half as well? No? Thought so. So who is actually the moron?"
I have hated Franco ever since I learned he's a israelite.
Both his parents are israelites, they were just too lazy to give him a bar-mitzvah or a typical israeli childhood (being repeatedly raped by his rabbi at the local israelite school).
Due to his atypical upbringing, is that why he passes as a shitalian so well?
I don't like him as a person, but he was good in that movie. The first movie had heart. Franco and John Lithgow were good human characters. The sequels had boring human characters.
I liked the third one, it wasn't pretentious.
Woody Harrelson was miscast. He's not a leading man, he's an okay supporting actor.
The first one was kino.
Third one's problem wasn't being pretentious. The problem was the shitty attempt to follow trends of the popular blockbuster (having quip and comedy). The fricking jar jar bink-tier monkey and the moron little girl throw the tone and immersion of the movie off constantly.

Yes the first 30 min was good and took a huge nosedive. Arguably, the ending was shitty. The struggle of vengeance of Caesar was "resolved" in a complete cop out way. The final "battle" set up is hilarious bad with modern army fighting like medieval army in a LoTR siege battle style. What was the point of that human markman guy? The whole human army getting killed by the avalanche is just out of place comedy.
I dont even mind the moronic battle scenes as much. Ofcourse, they "ruin" the film as a whole, but I could hypothetically excuse that if the rest of the film were enjoyable.
The problem is that the film is depressing. Pain, misery and suffering. Thats the common theme in the 3rd film. The beautiful forests of the 2nd film are briefly seen and then its straight into "no fun allowed."
The third movie was written and directed by Matt Reeves, who only directed but didn't write the second film. So the second one was still at least coherent. The third one has plot holes and each scene is dumber than the last. His thing is writing edgy grimdark violent garbage, as you can see from his Batman movie.
>Matt Reeves
That explains alot. The Batman was one of those weird moments, where everyone seems to have enjoyed a film I personally thought was an insult to the audience, especially once it turns into a disaster film at the end.

Skipped them when they released. Just watched them because I'm desperate for good movies. Even these were too close to the cutoff for good movies I'm trying to outline. You can tell as it goes on. Second was the weakest. None of them were above a 7/10.
First one was great. The scene where Caesar spoke for the first time was one of the cooler things I've seen from a Hollywood movie for a while. The other 2 are ok at most
I haven't seen these new movies but I really liked all the originals from the 70s, especially the one where like the earth is a big police state and all the monkeys are prisoners and humans are like Nazis, lmao, I think it was Conquest
A fourth one is set to be released next year: 'Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes.' I'm curious to see if the CGI will be better or worse. And Disney now has the rights.
Considering that the reason it took so long for the films to be released, was the time invested in the CGI, id say its a safe bet that the 1year rush job of outsourcing the CGI to India will result it trash CGI. And im not touching the woke element.
It's not good, but I liked it for the same reason that I like Alien Resurrection. Entertaining, decent but not great characters, but god tier production values with very little CGI.
All the actors in the ape suits become their own character. Tim Roth steals the show. And Danny Elfman did a solid job with the music.
The twist is the planet hes on is earth, but he went to a alternate dimension. Its a twist on the twist in the original, where the MC tries to get back to earth but realizes hes just in the future
It gets way more hate than it deserves. All of the costumes are practical and fricking amazing, The casting and performances are great, Walberg himself is ok, and it has some cool ass action sequences. The set design is great too
First one is boring generic blockbuster, second one is soulless garbage and I can’t even remember anything from the third one which makes it the worse of the three.
people who complain about War for the Planet of the Apes must not have watched Conquest of the Planet of the Apes where it was an hour and thirty minutes of Caesar looking at a black guy and going "LOOK THEY TREAT US LIKE THEY TREATED YOU DECADES AGO" with 10 minutes of riots at at the end
>plot can be solved with a few guns/some military hardware (which exist in the setting)
What do you call this kind of movie? I always find them moronic and can never take them seriously. >kaiju/big monster movies >Planet of the Apes >Avatar >A Quiet Place
The few that tackle it usually resort to playground-tier "nuh uh he has super special magic armor that makes him completely immune to weapons!". Shin Godzilla at least did it right, fricker was big and hard to kill but bunker busters fricked him up so bad he realized he had to turn into a human-like being instead.
>Rise
Surprising little gem that coasted to success of low expectations. Other than Franco being miscast it's a good movie. >Dawn
One the best scifi movies of the 2010s. Good tension and buildup between the groups of humans and apes. Kobo is an S-Tier antagonist. >War
Pretty underwhelming, but a great first half. The prison escape plot isn't interesting and the disease is too convenient. Only children born after the incident should lose their speech. Wraps up Caesar's story nicely at the end despite the films flaws it's still a good conclusion. Overall this is the best trilogy of movies from the 10's.
First excellent, second meh, third didn't see.
I'm genuinely impressed that they managed to ape, hehe, the "get your dirty hands off me" scene from the first while making theirs unique
Remembering what I can overall it was alright
First was good second not so much and third was between 1 &2 that being said the original was better
Tragically prophetic.
10/10 trilogy for me. Really did not expect to enjoy it, but I did.
Last movie was underwhelming, no? We were promised a war, and got a prison break
This.
yeah that third one was ass.
i get they were trying to set up mute, goofy humans from the original movie, but goddamn it was bad
Me too.
Dumb esl poster
dumb monkey
Every time I see someone post this I have to think, "Can you speak (and write) in a 2nd language half as well? No? Thought so. So who is actually the moron?"
Why would I learn a second language when I already know the most important one?
nsl cope
First one with James Franco is great. Second one is pretty good. Third one was embarrassingly bad.
I have hated Franco ever since I learned he's a israelite.
Both his parents are israelites, they were just too lazy to give him a bar-mitzvah or a typical israeli childhood (being repeatedly raped by his rabbi at the local israelite school).
Due to his atypical upbringing, is that why he passes as a shitalian so well?

>Both his parents are israelites
Wrong, his dad is a moortuguese dago.
I'm so sick of tired of seeing Black folk in movies.
First two are fun summer blockbuster scifi films. Third one is pretentious and boring.
I liked the third one, it wasn't pretentious.
Woody Harrelson was miscast. He's not a leading man, he's an okay supporting actor.
The first one was kino.
>Schindler's List with monkeys

nah Bad Ape is kino. He is a device to uplift a depressing movie and keep casual moviegoers intrested. He is a stock character done right.

I loved the fist two ones, but for some reason I never got around to watching the third one.

I want it to be great but I have zero faith. It’s being directed by the fricking maze runner guy
boring and predictable
second is the strongest, third and first are mid as frick
Anybody see the Tim Burton one? I saw a trailer for it in the theater, but never bothered to check it out.
I watched it during a transatlantic flight in the early 00s and even as a kid I was shocked at how bad it was.
It's not good, but I liked it for the same reason that I like Alien Resurrection. Entertaining, decent but not great characters, but god tier production values with very little CGI.
All the actors in the ape suits become their own character. Tim Roth steals the show. And Danny Elfman did a solid job with the music.
Sweet. I'm gonna watch it.
Ape makeup is mind blowingly good. Otherwise it's mid and the "twist" at the end makes 0 sense.
>Ape-raham Lincoln
The twist is the planet hes on is earth, but he went to a alternate dimension. Its a twist on the twist in the original, where the MC tries to get back to earth but realizes hes just in the future
Absolute peak makeup, horrible script. Shame they didn't make any sequels.
It gets way more hate than it deserves. All of the costumes are practical and fricking amazing, The casting and performances are great, Walberg himself is ok, and it has some cool ass action sequences. The set design is great too
And a dogshit plot
>man gets stranded on planet of apes
>tries to get back home
It's basically the same plot as the first one except the twist at the end
Yeah, the originals suck.
I saw it at the kinoplex when I was a kid with my brother and I really liked it
First one is boring generic blockbuster, second one is soulless garbage and I can’t even remember anything from the third one which makes it the worse of the three.

>this is what people were hoping covid would be like

Only the first is good
didnt ask
Good kino, wouldn't watch it again though
xD
Best example of 2>1>3.
I liked them

Was that the one with all the police beating up all the monkey people? That one was good
What's really odd is that the one before this had an almost comedic tone. Then you get to this and they basically do the chicago race riots
wasted potential
>we never got a proper prequel that linked this franchise to the 60s series
I'm mad. War was so disappointing.
>plot can be solved with a few guns/some military hardware (which exist in the setting)

I hear the next one is going to be called
Journey to the Center of the City of the Kingdom of the Country of the Planet of the Apes
