What’s poppin, Ape Nation! It’s me MT and welcome back to the Heavy Spoilers Show! This is gonna be a breakdown of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes…the best damn film in the best damn movie franchise about sentient apes who take over a planet full of stupid humans! Down with our human overlords, I say! Let’s get an Apestocracy goin’! Just kidding…but what I WILL get going is this here dang breakdown of the movie so let’s get into it!
[Members shout]
Alright so, while Rise of the Planet of the Apes was directed by Rupert Wyatt, Matt Reeves would take over directing duties for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes due to Wyatt feeling like he could not complete the movie in the timeframe that was given to him…which is kind of a bummer considering how good his first Apes movie was…but very much a blessing in disguise as we would not have gotten this absolute masterpiece of a film by Matt Reeves.

This video is awesome

[@Oscar0328]

For reals

[@CinaCast]

My favorite ape is Rocket. He started out bullying Caesar. Then became one of Caesars most loyal and trusted friends

[@DanielGarcia-pw9oz]

Fr rocket was just chill

[@GhostC01]

he got shook when caesar started speaking and befriended the gorilla

[@olleselin]

To think it's already been a whole decade since this movie came

[@colbyd.5044]

Man time is flying by so fast

[@CJDoggg00]

The cgi being so good is my point too it’s hard to believe it’s cgi In a lot of the movie it really help to immerse the viewer in the world for sure.. marvel take notes!!!

Stop that …i no like

[@chefdean7257]

. . .out. Came OUT.

[@hypercriticalbrit]

6:12 I’ve got to disagree on this take of it showing their personalities from the start. Moments before Koba makes the jump, Caesar notices him up on the hill with the spear as Koba charges down answering Caesars calls. The way that I’ve always read this scene is that Caesar screams at the bear to trigger it to stand on its hind legs so that Koba has a larger target and better angle to get a kill shot with the spear. To me, the scene showed the close bond between Caesar and Koba with the overall story of the movie being how even close friends can become bitter rivals.

[@asantepauwels]

Way better take, totally agree

[@psnitkin4059]

Totally agree with you. If Cesar had the vantage point, he totally would've speared the bear himself.

[@joelara3750]

You're right. Em tee Just sucks

[@abrahamlupercio5621]

Exactly what I thought from the first watching

[@Darth_Mom_2]

I agree! I saw it last night and saw Ceasar cause the bear to go on hind legs for Koba to kill

[@mg123439]

This trilogy is so beautiful

[@alexandergalindo5064]

The trilogy is up there with Star Wars original trilogy and lord of the rings in my opinion.. such a great story start to finish!!

[@whitemamba061]

@@CJDoggg00im excited to see what they do with kingdom of the planet of the apes, it looks good

Hopefully the fourth one don't suck(not saying it's gonna suck since im interested) BUT HOPEFULLY

[@whitemamba061]

@@Honestlynothingelse i think it’ll be really good but we’ll just have to see, im seeing the movie sunday

[@Nighlocktheawesome00]

Personally, I think that keeping the sounds of Koba breathing and the rubble shifting in during the credits was good idea. While Koba returning was scrapped, it could also be interpreted as Koba taking his final breaths as he tries to get out of the rubble. Either he dies slowly or the Colonel finds him and executes him on the spot.

[@revengewrld17]

Maurice is the only correct answer for favorite ape. My man deserves the world

[@DukeRhodes]

I like Maurice too. Also because orangutans are my favorite ape the great ape order.

[@DaviliaXO]

Maurice is actually Female

[@DukeRhodes]

@@DaviliaXO No he's not, stop making shit up. Maurice is a male name, and sexual dimorphism is quite apparent in this species. Only male orangutans have that unique facial feature known as “cheek flaps” or “flanges” that develop during their sexual maturation. Maurice had this in abundance.

[@revengewrld17]

@@DaviliaXO Maurice’s actor is a female (Karin Konoval) but the character is a male

[@CrashPK77]

MT, for whatever it's worth, I think your narration delivery has come leaps and bounds over the last year. Thank you, man. Well done!

[@CrashPK77]

Hey, I'm not hating. I think he's always been good, he's just really polished now. Some of his jokes are groaners, but they're meant to be, just like Paul's. MT does them his way, and that's great.

[@derekellis5116]

All fair points. My ONLY critique... dude says "but anyways..." every 3 sentences! Other than that, LOVE your breakdowns MT!!

Ohhhhh brun!!!! Nice one 😅​@KennyVenegas-ge5zk

Loving these breakdowns, I never appreciated the new Ape movies but these videos are giving me new found appreciation!

Ey thank you. Glad you’re enjoying em.

[@ajnunez8788]

How could you not like these ape movies…. They’re pure cineMark.

[@SavageLion_]

@@heavyspoilerswasn’t Will Rodman killed by the company that he worked for? I’ve been wondering what happened to his character for a long time. It was mentioned in the video but apparently he was assassinated. I could be wrong but it’d be nice if you could lmk

[@Wusgoodfatlip]

@@SavageLion_it’s never outright stated by anyone in the movies. It’s implied that he’s gone in Dawn when they arrive to his old house and Caesar finds old footage. Will’s car is also still there so what could that mean?

[@eyespy3001]

@@SavageLion_I think it’s implied that he died of the simian flu virus along with most other humans

I feel like every one was drawn to this movie recently I had no clue about kingdom but just binged the trilogy for no reason

[@eddysandland58]

Quality Trilogy Toby Kebbell is Class as Koba Cheers MT HS for another Amazing Breakdown and can't wait for part 3

[@mannholloway]

Toby Kebble and Andy serkis deserved Oscar nominations at least.

[@Vividexpress999]

“Back in San Fran with the white man from spider man”🤣😂

[@brandonwilliams9872]

Omg, I’ve been looking for MT, glad I found you again!!!

[@sithcarebear1]

DAWN is an utter masterpiece. It hits on every level, and I agree it is easily the best of the series so far. Fantastic breakdown, MT! Can’t wait to see what you have to say about WAR!👊😎

[@sithcarebear1]

All Hail Caesar!! …but Maurice is my homie 🤷‍♂️

[@FeezFBaby]

I think all 3 is dope as hell. Kinda hard to choose but I think ur onto sumthin picking it as the best outta the 3 movies.

[@rjmcclure8019]

Thanks, MT! I also think this ones my favorite of the trilogy. The first one def has its place but its obv an origin story so it has its limits whereas this one really gets to explore the society they create and the relationships they form with each other. Well done!

[@rjmcclure8019]

Also i love me some gary oldman

From another lifetime POTA fan: Great job!

There you are M.T.!! Wondered where you went!! I guess I'll be watching way more Heavy Spoilers now!!

[@JROTCBALL]

That shot of Koba holding up the assault rifle he killed those dudes with is so icy cold 🥶 absolutely loved this trilogy (this was my fav of the 3) n can’t wait for the new one!!

[@mydude8731]

Koba survived the fall and was suppose to be the main villain in the 3rd movie temporarily rallying with the soldiers and betraying them later on so he can kill caesar. That script would've been fire!! But they had to scrap it and make koba dead

[@rob5465]

This sounds wack tbh

[@zenmindgamer]

​@@rob5465 Aye. If the themes that Caesar experiences were meant to build atop each other then I definitely prefer the version we got.

[@hunchomadeit3512]

I’m still shocked at how I was thinking bout asking for a breakdown for this masterpiece then BOOM heavy spoilers are definitely TOP-Notch 🔥🔥

[@erickhart8046]

Nice Coverage MT😊

[@nickJd95]

It’s really great to hear M.T’s voice

[@QuantitativeMethods]

Karen does such an amazing job as Cornelius. All of the MC actors do great, but getting someone to communicate the aura and presence of big ol' Cornelius is just so damn impressive.

[@tytybaby06]

Love these! Great narration you are hilarious & my favorite ape ofc is Cesar! & I always thought his wife’s name was a nod to real life Cesar’s wife Cornelia but I guess both work. Can’t wait for war! I wish Franco could’ve made a cameo or we & Cesar actually learned what happened to him & his father.

[@davidrey4183]

Nice work MT. War breakdown soon👀

[@Hambino80]

The contrast between Caesar and Koba in the beginning isn’t how they deal with the bear. Caesar was calling for help and when he saw Koba coming he made the noises so Koba would have a bigger target. The contrast between them in the beginning is how they talk to Blue Eyes with Caesar telling him to think before he acts and Koba telling him that scars make you strong 5:57

[@hypercriticalbrit]

Im not sure if you read my comment but I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who had this take. Seemed pretty obvious to me that Caesar saw him answering the call and wanted to give a bigger target but apparently it was lost on some people. To me, the overall story of this one was how Caesar and Koba’s were friends at the start and became bitter rivals over their conflicting values.

[@Marveryn]

@@hypercriticalbrit yeah that was my take when i saw the movie. Ceasar and Koba were great friend and they trusted each other but koba hated human too much compare to ceasar who still found value in them.

[@DukeRhodes]

​@@Marveryn Caesar and Koba always had an uneasy relationship from the very beginning. If you remember in Rise, Koba was about to kill Caesar's owner Will Rodman in the red wood forest, but Caesar nullified him before he could strike. This showcased the power dynamic between the two and their battle for Alpha/dominance over the troop/colony was there from the inception.

[@walkerdevin08]

Please do the breakdown for War next. That one's actually my favorite of the trilogy.

[@user-bz1gj7bv9v]

MT with another banger

[@stayawayunited3744]

MT is the only person who made me interested in seeing these movies. ❤

I would also picture the quarantine drawing smoke as a chain showing how Alex feels like a prisoner to the Quarantine

Favorite ape is Probly blue eyes, at least in this film. His confusion and being manipulated is sad and I guess I can relate from past experiences but in the end he finds his way.

[@nirvanayang4154]

[@captainawesome360]

One of my top 4 favorite films! A modern masterpiece

[@georgeflegel8778]

This was such a great film. I like how Koba was portrayed and you actually felt sorry for him for all that he had suffered. Even so, you can't help but hate him as he lust for revenge has corrupted his very soul and made him worse than the humans he hated.

[@SmashMastrCrush]

Bright Eyes was first said in the first movie to Charlton Heston's character. It has nothing to do with eyes it's his intelligence.

[@silashurd3597]

I love this movie. This is my favorite one in the trilogy so far.

[@christophercasanova3968]

After kingdom of the planet of the apes they could make a movie about the rise of Proximus Caesar and finding out that Kona lived and started his own ape clan and his own teaching which eventually led to proximus

[@metroplier8392]

If you look at it, first time we see Koba be of importance in the film, he stabs a bear in the back. We see Koba again, with Malcom, holding a spear to his back. These are foreshadows to koba backstabbing Caesar.

[@Halldor1994]

The Rise of the dawn of the kingdom of the planets of the apes is the newest one, right?

[@brucardi]

The rise of the dawn of the war for the kingdom of the planet of the apes

If you've known this trilogy was gonna be a banger from the first movie hit the like button

[@HappyCloud-ju2pm]

i watched half of this movie in class one time. we didn’t have time to watch it so we asked our next period teacher to put it on for us. The class is usually very chaotic so I didn’t even know what was happened in the end. i only saw that one so i do not know the context. i haven’t watched the other movies. i can’t watch them because i don’t have the subscription.

[@Vortex_7114]

re-release this movie in theaters it’s fkn awesome

[@PapiBocaChula]

@ 6:30 how did you not insert the ESPN sound effect, with Stuarts Scott Sound bite? Insane missed Editing Opportunity. For sure.

[@lukeskywalker5795]

That "GOOOOO!!!!" from Caesar still scared the shit out me

[@AlexL415]

28:18 why is that messed up? They already paid him for that work. It’s a photo of that moment they didn’t ask him to reshoot.

[@Killer62Joe]

Maurice was my favorite character

Bright eyes is also probably a nod to the original as that was what the apes named Taylor

[@Mrpatrickh]

This franchise is underrated, which comes in only second to its very dark symbolic themes on and off screen.

[@Chungowumbo]

Always enjoy these and im gunna watch Kingdom but you got the first scene wrong ceaser saw koba coming and made the bear stand up

[@malachymur4427]

Felll in love with this trilogy cesar is my fav

[@Krypto1201]

its sad, the families ceaser "left" got destroyed while his grew...its poetic and very bittersweet

[@jazzphotos]

BRB. Gonna re-watch this trilogy....

[@jonathanmendoza2531]

Great video! But I have to passionately disagree with your take on Dreyfus’s motivation to blow up the tower! My favorite thing about this movie is how rational every character is. Dreyfus didn’t want “revenge against the apes for killing his family” (which they didn’t, and I think he certainly presents as a smart leader who wouldn’t believe this conspiracy theory). To him, Malcolm is this crazy man trying to get him to trust an organized and bitter ape colony. Dreyfus’s decisions to call in the military and blow up the tower is perfectly logical from his vantage point as an act of self-sacrifice to protect what’s left of his people.

[@andrewwashere82]

6:00 I have to disagree with peaceful part at least. Just watched this movie yesterday (binging the trilogy prior to watching the 4th in theater). When Caesar screams the first 2 times, you can clearly see him looking in the direction of his fellow apes. He was calling for help.He knew he couldn't take the bear alone. The fact that it was Koba that saved him, earning his "Thank you Koba" only for him to completely betray Caesar, forcing Caesar to kill him, makes it so much worst, imo.

[@ingridaguero6460]

I think this is my favorite of the trilogy. You can both “villains” motive. The humans are desperate to survive and Kona was abuse all his life. You can’t blame either one for what happened

[@djkeys415s]

The score whent back to the first moevi when i herd it i knew exactly what it was

[@heathmcdonald9679]

Agreed

[@heatherchrystal]

26:32 Commissioner Gordon is that you?!

[@andrewpolito9244]

The one scene I do not like is when Koba kills ash, any one of them could have shot him right then and there. I get that they were in shock by it, but he just broke the core tenant of their societal teaching and none of them react hostile to it. He had yet to establish his allies and cement his power, how did rocket not confront him and have allies of his own to back him up?

[@ChetMantooth]

the drawing of the severed arm..you said it was smoke but those are chains

[@Darklordiban7]

One interpretation of the drawing of Caesar's horse is that it is a symbol. It represents a huge step forward for them to subjugate, tame, and utilize a beast just as it did with humans. They also took it away from humans. The horse is a representation of their liberty. I'm not sure about the colors though.

[@nikhilpeter1350]

Not too sure, but I think the scene at 08:29 is a nod to the three wise monkeys philosophy.

[@RequiemForYourDream940]

Caesar was my favorite, may sound super cliche but he had the best of both worlds in him.

[@user-kv3wv7ob6l]

Damn it’s already been 10 years

[@nathancaynor4105]

I feel like Ceasar saw Koba coming. He then did what he did to get the bear to stand up. Giving Koba a kill shot. There's a scene we Ceasar look at Koba, then goes toe to toe.

[@Alai-uf6lt]

You said, you don't know why Koba is called Koba. Koba is the nickname for Stalin, who betrayed Lenin and the October Revolution, much like this Koba will betray Caesar.

[@raycharles704]

Can’t wait for the new one

[@camperth9844]

What about the camcorder siting there with the charger plugged in will had to have known Caesar would go back someday

[@jarrodhape4011]

Non-violent approach lol what did you want Caesar to do lmao

[@JonJukebox]

MT IS THE MAN 😂

[@andrewwashere82]

17:35 I thought Jason Clarke's performance in this scene was incredible. He genuinely liked terrified being surrounded by all those apes. Prob thinking, "This is it. I'm going to die!" And you gotta remember, the actor, if the ape swarm wasn't completley CGI, was likely surrounded by ppl in mo cap suits. 🤔 Although, being surrounded by ppl dressed like that might be scary enough to help. 😂

[@Puncherjoe1]

I feel like the first should have been Dawn, this should have been War, and the 3rd should have been rise

[@adamberndt4190]

28:05 Is it messed up tho? If you pay someone for some footage of them or a picture and you post it to Facebook, that's okay, But if you post it to Instagram also then im supposed to track down the guy who sold it to me and give him a heads up?
