The silence after Ceasar says "NO" for the first time in the first one is a great moment.
One word, so much emotions and meaning.

[benwasserman]

For a franchise whose last few movies have been close to masterpieces, Planet of the Apes still feels incredibly underrated. Hopefully Kingdom does well at the box office.

Beyond happy to hear that Kingdom was a good sequel. The Rise-Dawn-War trilogy is one of my favorite movie trilogies ever

[DrawingsByLeon]

I just watched the previous trilogy for the first time and fucking loved them. Ceasar is a BADASS

I think these movies prove that people will buy into CG characters in real settings more easily than real characters in CG settings. Unless you’re James Cameron, it’s very difficult to do.

So many biblical references. Noa’s arc, the interpretation of Caesars laws and the symbolism behind the window

[MattyDub]

I was so nervous this movie would be a disappointment. The Caesar trilogy are some of my favorite movies ever (Especially Dawn and War). So glad this movie holds its own with those. Excited to see it tonight!

I love how Caesar is basically now like “Ape Jesus”

[rosssapp]

All three of the Andy Cerkis movies were masterpieces, rise in particular being my favorite. It’s so good to hear that this series is still going strong.

The guy that directed this is also directing the live action The Legend Of Zelda movie.

This is what the Star Wars sequel trilogy should’ve done

[xiaoli]

So happy to hear this series keeps doing well.

[mrgonzalez]

I liked this movie, it felt like it was 95% it's own movie.

I also liked what I felt was a good plot twist in the last 5 minutes. I feel like the last 10 minutes raised so many questions. So I think I would enjoy seeing further installments of this part of the saga.

All these years later, you are still my favorite film critic and favorite YouTuber.

Rise of the planet of the apes still holds one of the most iconic scenes in cinema history - the "No ! " scene. I will never forget the gasp that went through the audience when it happened.
Looking forward to this one, from the looks of it it will be a fun experience.

[floridaboykane]

This movie had many biblical undertones to it..main character being named Noah, the flood at the end, the sense of purpose, and the deification of Ceaser…I liked it

[macau.friend]

Really glad that we saw the original trilogy about Caesar FIRST and then this movie afterwards. It’s quite a delight to see things happen chronologically instead of the Star Wars way.

[huntercool]

I hope they bring back Raka, there was a post credit of him making his “gurgle” at the very end of the movie so hopefully it’s a hint that he survived the rapids and they’ll bring him back later on.
