Just came out of War for the Planet of the Apes. I liked it.

>The movie feels longer than it actually is. I've watched Nolan films that felt shorter. Emotional scenes drag out sometimes. There are at least 3 scenes with close-up character deaths in the movie and they do just that.
>I wish there were more scenes allotted to the human characters in general. The human character are nazi tryhards. I wish there was a bit more nuance. They could have had scenes dedicated to the other humans on the opposing side before the battle went down.
>A little heavy on the nazi, skinhead, nationalist, Christian symbolism.
>I wanted a more philosophical war about how apes are not that different or far off in the genome than humans but what we got was a 'holy war'.

Aside from those things I liked it. It's a solid 7/10. Matt Reeves is clearly a more visual, thematic, 'filmic' director as opposed to Nolan's more tension driven style. If that makes sense. Reeves is a more traditional film-making almost to a fault is what I mean.

I fee like the movie was kinda meh, some moments were really cheesy and too repetitive to care but overall I came out of the theater thinking Caesar was a great character with a lot of depth through the series. Now the movie is mildly growing on me and I'm shilling it among my friends, if you can look past the absurdity of monkeys with guns you are probably gonna enjoy this movie.

also lol at the blatant product placement

Main monkey's family is killed and he's out for revenge with his monotone tough guy voice.

then watch the last movie? they jerked off that concept for the entire fucking running time.

Dawn was a near masterpiece but War is the Dark Knight Rises of this trilogy. Not bad but no where near the greatness of the last flick!!!FACT!!!

>>Woody Harrelson pretty much plays himself. You never feel his rage. His performance is almost too restrained. His whole motivation is delivered in exposition. He's just way too calm and not in a menacing way.

Remember he admonishes Caesar for being too emotional. He explains in his story about how killing his son "cleansed him". So basically he has just shut out all emotions since that incident.

Woody Harrelson tried to hard to be Col. Kurtz. He even had that Marlon Brando slur on his words when he first talks with Caesar.

Absolutely. War had some of the most beautiful shots that I've seen this decade. Some of it was a little hamfisted and too black and white, but this was hands down my favorite of the trilogy.

The aerial shot when the soldiers first fight in the woods and the waterfall shot when ceasers son returns were beautiful scenes

I really loved some of the scenes on the beach and the first time we see the quarantine base. Interior of the ski lodge was nice too.
