Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
The best movie ever! I recommend it strongly. Its better than 1 and 2 and I have already watched it 3 times!
The characters are what really stand out in this movie. Any Serkis' portrayal of Caesar is amazing on so many levels, especially when you look at how he's more human than most of the human characters, and the Colonel is equally amazing for the opposite reason: his lack of humanity. Although this is an action movie, the action is but the smallest tier in a multilayered plot, which was clearly the main focus of the movie. A plot with complexity that can (almost) rival the Lord of the Rings. And don't even get me started on the family and leadership style drama in this movie. It could make a grown man cry. Not me though. As you can probably tell, I love this movie. The quality is something that can not be described, but only witnessed, and I suggest you go witness this.Also don't show this to your kids unless they have a relatively high tolerance for things in movies. Like when they say, "thematic elements," they mean it. There are also some relatively bloody wounds and disturbing phycological elements. But don't take it from me. Go read a parents guide before ever showing this to your kids.
Having watched all of the "Planet of the Apes" movies, both the old classics and the newer additions to the franchise, then of course I also had to watch "War of the Planet of the Apes", despite its ridiculous title."War of the Planet of the Apes" is a very nice continuation of the storyline. Actually, it serves well enough to even be a stand-alone movie, although a lot of information is missing out if you haven't seen the other movies.The movie starts out in a fairly good pace, and it never really slows down, so once you strap yourself into your seat, just hang on and enjoy the ride.The movie has great CGI and special effects, of course. It is primed with lots of action and nicely executed action sequences. But it is not just the action that carries the movie, it is also the character progression and the storyline, which both actually play very big parts in this movie."War of the Planet of the Apes" had good acting performances from a pretty interesting cast, with the likes of Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn and many others.If you enjoyed the franchise thus far, then it would be a shame to miss out on the 2017 "War of the Planet of the Apes".
Before starting the movie, I did not think at all about having a movie with a movie that is far from the previous episodes, especially the first part. The story space is completely different from the previous sections, as if you were watching another movie. Perhaps this end could have been better. All the glances at the end of the film are the fate of monkeys and humans, especially Caesar. The film could have been more magnificent. For critics, which was enough, but people expect another, I think the film alone is a good film, but it is not a good sequel to the previous films of this series because the viewer sees it with another mentality. There were two previous episodes, even in my opinion the authors of the previous sections, such as Rick Jaffa, were better able to write the script. The film's music is not suitable for action scenes, and most of all it takes classic movies and needs a more epic rhythm. Characterization for Caesar was very appealing in the Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but fell out of the second part of this characterization, but it was better in the third part, but it was no longer as brilliant as the first one. The film has too much dramatic scenes that are not in these films and should focus more on the action scenes of the film than the scenes of Caesar's pain. The movie War for the Planet of the Apes does not just have weaknesses and has many strengths, including good director of action, exciting compilation and ... each of which is important.
