Quality entertainment indeed. It's a good to great movie throughout but it did lack excitement for me.

I agree with all who say the final scenes got too action oriented in an otherwise mature blockbuster

The Caesar/Koba dynamic is fantastic. Maybe predictable, but full of feeling and intensity.

Not enough Batman for Magnus' tastes.

Fair enough, it's still my favorite movie of the year thus far

Well it's a good thing that you weren't watching Dawn of the Planet of the Humans then.

and yet the film still spends a fairly good chunk of the film on them.


So does The Terminator, but nobody gives a shit about them in that. It's all about the non-humans.

Jason Clarke is surprsingly completely unengaging in this. I never got invested in his story whatsoever, which is perhaps the films biggest flaw.

Post Re: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Yesterday I saw the new ape film which was outstanding bad, so under outstanding
worse than godzilla?
in places, but overall a bit better
some of it was so bad that I could not believe it
family drama scenes
simply occurred between
one of them was surreal bad
first a few standard phrases that the author just while writing in a bad tv series and heard just wrote down
and then the people looked a long time and did not seem to know what to do
as in many documentaries in which the camera continues to run when the surveyed do not know anything more
some only look helpless and easily confused
and do it again the gab, what to say, but nothing comes
so it was more
more confident
Being lucky to have each other

and overall look of the film-like lost, monkeys comic only with pure copied
I do not know why the effects are praised
as animation movie it would be good
but realistically it does not in the least from
in every scene, it is as if you were watching a cartoon
there are the 2001 ape much better

to some extent
a gloomy end
he is like taza, son of cochise, only with a hopeless end
in the first half, there is always a sentimental alternately harmony scene in which humans and apes approach and thereafter a saublöde action scene, as in the trust is destroyed again
the schematic is about 5 times repeated
the family drama plays really not matter
or only occasionally, all of a sudden
in order that the people quickly deep
every 20 minutes, you suddenly sit somewhere and replace phrases
something like:
- I heard you had a daughter
- Yes
- I'm sorry :(
Playing in front of it and then never again a role
dialoge from any tv series for the last 20 years
the teenage son says, and is itself quite upset until he reads a book with the great apes or monkeys that the book gives

the second monkey movie is worse than the first
I looked at the movie as a film-chip and was eventually happy to distract me with chips
rather than supportive to eat
I drowned actually partially so
and then knew yet what had been said

gary oldman than nothing
he stands around and looks
no, the dad is jason clarke
gary oldman and is the chief of the colony
but this is actually not a real role, rather a walk-on employment with a bit of dialogue
at the end of 10 seconds long
because he wants to blow the monkey in the air
before he is a nice, rumstehender uncle
once he cries when he looks at old photos, but that's only towards the end and takes 6 seconds
According kj-thread oldman was mis-sold the trailer
as a large ape-hating villain

the father-son story of the people is as if they would scribble Jan Luggenhölscher in 5 minutes on a park bench
hehe, the firearms-scenes
which are completely crazy
the people must necessarily take a with the monkeys, which behaves stupid situation in each and just begins to shoot
then what happens 5 times
Unfortunately, he is the only one who can repair the dam or something
However, he is then suddenly it no longer needed after 5 Lashing out and just sit in the car
he is bumped off sitting in the car
of monkeys
up to the date he has fulfilled its function, namely as soon as possible to the relationship damaging to the monkey
only this one has invented it

you might just as well some b-western white / indian-conflict-movies
or racists drama
the Negro in the movie takes on the role of the human rough bouncer who has in the monkeys gorilla
He pulls the stupid into the car and locks him there


4/10

It takes too long to do the setup but its thematically and execution-wise better than Apes. Its pretty much perfect when you consider that they expand the plot to worldwide scale and yet keep it focused on a small group of apes throughout. The sets are amazing, acting great. Its near perfect movie though at times predictable.

I think War and Planet are slightly better than this but still its a great movie overall.
