Load of rubbish!!
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Just watched again on HBO and decided to take a look at the IMDB page. After reading a few of the 1 star reviews I see that the movie is the victim of a right wing smear campaign.
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".
Sometimes, when I read reviews about movies on IMDb, I see patterns in the writing. Similar text, similar structuring and similar indignant shouting. Read enough of them and you see that quite often there is an underlying reason why the reviews are marking a film so low. Be it political or religious. Very rarely is it actually about the quality of the film. More often it is about a personal issue that the reviewer has - and so he vents his anger in the only way that's he knows how - a screaming one star rating and a list of reasons why the film is the worst he has ever seen. Makes you wonder what kind of a strange person would do that.However, if you read past all the silly 1 star ratings you often get to the truth. And the truth as far as this film is concerned is that it is a cracker. It draws you in like none of the other ape movies - it's pacing is superb, the visual effect stunning. I would suggest that you ignore the ranting 1 star reviews and take them for what's they are - a few individuals with multiple accounts and strange views on the world.
