      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.

            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.

        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.

    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.

    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 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.
