This movie was great just like the other ones. It really is amazing how they make the apes seem like such fluid and normal characters. And the fact that they develop the apes over the course of the franchise like they are legit actors is even more impressive. You feel for this apes that you have been watching for three movies now and you get excited about new additions - especially Bad Ape. That one had me laughing out loud so many times during this movie. The only knock I'll make against this movie is that in the grand scheme of things it just felt like a long isolated battle. It didn't feel like another chapter in this progressing story as much as the other two did. It just kind of felt like well let's fight this group of humans now. Not sure if that makes sense or not but it just seemed to be lacking a little bit of a hook that the other movies had. It was also way too long considering what I just said above. Sorry - that was two knocks.
I would still recommend people check this movie out - especially if you are fans of the franchise. It is a very enjoyable watch even if it kind of lacked as much substance as the others.
