This is one of the few trilogies that actually had solid acting, writing, story, character development, just everything about it is what makes it so good. What's great about it too is that each installment got better than the last. Unlike most trilogies which gets worse with each installment. Otherwise, the Apes trilogy lived up to its potential imo.

I'm not afraid to admit that I cried over a CGI ape at the end of that movie. T_T They did the originals a great honor.

Andy serkis needs more recognition he’s an amazing actor

[Dr.Beetlejuice]

This trilogy was one of the best trilogies I have ever seen in my life. Seriously....they told a great story about one character that went through trials and tribulations. You followed the character, you cried with him, you understood where he came from. This series was GREAT!

[DanFarrell]

It’s amazing how far the cgi has come in just 3 movies

[Chocobear]

Caesar's death scene, as tragic and sad as it is, is so poetic. It's beautiful, really, because he is at peace knowing that his fellow apes (including his son) will not only survive, but thrive. He's done his job, and now it's time to rest.

That last one pulled on my heart strings

[juancampos]

Caesar is such a deep character and well thought out

[flippydippy]

I just wanted to say I find it interesting how fast Caesar’s speech evolves:

Planet: Could only say a couple of words
Dawn: Could say full sentences but a bit choppy
War: Could say everything perfectly

Rest In Peace Caesar! One of the best trilogies of all time since LOTR and Nolan's Batman films.

The only movie that made me cry in my 24 years of life time. I was sad when Caesar died, but those tears were for Maurice, Rocket and all the other apes, tears of hope, yet somehow a nostalgic feeling about how it began. Like damn, the brotherhood Maurice, Rocket and Caesar had is one of the purest in cinema history, and the fact that they are from different species makes it even better, something we as a society should strive for.

Caesar didn’t die. He’s a legend.
And legends don’t die.

Andy Serkis is a national treasure. Give this man an oscar. Not only is he a brilliant actor, but just a fascinating person to listen to. Just hearing him talk about and analyze this phenomenal trilogy is just amazing.

Caesar became one of my favorite characters in fiction, thanks Andy Serkis and the effects team for such a rich character.

Caeser: *closes eyes*

Will:"Caeser c'mon time to come home."

I wonder if thats what he saw as the gates to heaven opened for him.

[almightyjayy]

They need to make a movie about Cornelius(Caesar’s youngest son) journey to be king

[itsmesteve]

I just wished that at the end he could have had a thought about his adoptive father Franco before he passed away. I wanted to see him happy. He hasn't smiled since he left home. 😢😢😢

The actor and character are both incredible

[lindataghon]

I am old and I have seen THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of movies.., , BUT NEVER have any movies invoked such emotions in me as these 3 did...., I HATE what we humans do to animals to this day and always will, these movies brought out in me these intense feelings and my empathy for all animals that are used for science. I HATE IT!!!! I TRULY hope before I die that I will see yet the #4 of this series. The CGI they used to express the emotions in these characters blew me away, literally!..., ANDY SERKIS DESERVES NUMEROUS OSCARS for playing this INCREDIBLE CAESAR! INCREDIBLLY FANTASTIC movies!!!..., Oh and what can I say about MAURICE and ROCKET?!…, SUPERB!!!

That scene at the cage where Will leaves Caesar and he looks on in shock at the abandonment of the only person that makes him feel secure and warm...it is so heartbreaking that it prevents me from rewatching this trilogy at all. It is too painful.
