FIRST TIME WATCHING *Dawn of the Planet of The Apes*

[@Steef_Lee]

I feel for Koba. He’s like the Magneto of the apes. He just saw the worst of humanity and none of the good parts until it was too late. Hard to blame him for how he sees the world.

[@HolyNamed]

Well sadly I am going to blame him, he is the quote, unquote "villian" of the second movie!

[@Steef_Lee]

@@HolyNamed okay, I’m sure plenty of people do. Not everyone is capable of that type of empathy. And yes, he is one of the antagonists or “villains”, but that doesn’t mean he’s one dimensional or unsympathetic.

[@Steef_Lee]

@@HolyNamed and I do blame him for his actions, he is absolutely the antagonist and needed to die. I just don’t blame him for hating humans the way he dies. I chose my words carefully.

[@MonAhgasInsomniAroELF]

well, i wouldn't say i can't blame him, but i can definitely sympathize. all his experiences with humans were horrible, he was abused and experimented on. irl people have hated entire groups for much less than that, like a singular bad experience. but at the end of the day, it's up to each of us as individuals to decide whether we let our past and those bad experiences we've had dictate who we are now and how we treat others. having bad things done to us in the past does not justify doing the same (or worse) things to others later on. rather than trusting a good leader who has successfully kept them safe and thriving over the years and the both good and bad (nuanced) experiences he's likely shared with them all, koba made the bad choice to ignore that and dwell on past wrongs. it's unfortunate that he couldn't see past his hate. he was a really well-written character!

[@Steef_Lee]

@@MamadNobari if you think that’s what I said then I feel sorry for you.

[@jurassicccccc]

this whole series is genuinely incredible. the cinematography, soundtrack, acting, everything is just perfect.

[@WestonBriggs-iw8to]

thank you for saying this I absolutley 100% agree and nobody else does

[@bryce253]

Koba: "Ceasar weak." Ceasar: "Koba weaker." Soooo much said there in the simplest of terms. BRILLIANT!!

[@jackmarshall3255]

This is one of those rare trilogy’s where all 3 films are fantastic and the CGI in each film gets better and better.

[@Eowyn187]

💯

[@natestafford9311]

facts, only one that could come close as a trilogy is when Avatar 3 comes out in a decade

[@justsomeguywithoutaquirk6653]

No. They get worse and worse

[@Tiredartist9552]

^​​you clearly do not enjoy the magic of smart apes then

[@antgentil9679]

War is NOT fantastic. It's a boring mess.

[@coachellyn]

Can you believe that the whole series only got 3 oscar nominations? They didn't even win any visual effects oscars. Thank you for reacting to these - I'm sad to say, I forgot about these movies! Also, FUN FACT, they're making a new one that comes out in 2024 that's meant to be a continuation

[@tiandi5585]

I remember being sad that War was going to be the last movie. I just hope the fourth one is at least as good as Dawn.

[@elitepineapple4283]

​@@tiandi5585 being better than rise is enough to be a good sequel lol Dawn is leagues above the other movies

[@theoneandonlyrandomgamer5749]

The movie is good

[@stevemattfis]

Maurice is in honor of the actor who played the intellectual centerpiece (Dr Zaius, also an Orangutan) in the original 1968 movie and its follow up. His name was Maurice Evans. You would know him as Samantha's father on Bewitched where his character was also named Maurice.

[@youtpfpm6097]

I have always loved the symbolism of the final scene: the Monkey going towards the light and the Man sinking into the darkness.

[@jermainehaslam5634]

As badass as Caesar is in this Koba steals the show and this does what sequels should do it raises the stakes and tension, awesome movie.

[@U-Gozoo]

This is true and I was actually thinking the same thing His hatred and needed revenge isn't that outfield given everything that happened to him...

[@liamgilmartin466]

Matt reaves honestly did such a good job with this movie, deffo my favourite one out of the trilogy. Toby Kebbell who did the motion capture/acting for koba, honestly what a good job he did. Really annoying how Toby since doing this movie has barely got any big roles. Except maybe in black mirror.

[@liamgilmartin466]

Ps. Third one I'd recommend tissues

[@HolyNamed]

Such an amazing reaction. This was such a good trilogy, Its funny, emotional, a lot of action, and very entertaining. I remember when these movies were new, and its crazy how the cgi still holds up today!

[@danieldeborin6392]

These 3 movies are all fantastic, but this one is on another level because of the inner-ape conflict. So good

[@bryce253]

Ceasar and Koba. Such amazing amazing characters. Someone I read pointed this out and they are spot on. Ceasar and Koba are the Professor X and Magneto of the Planet of the Apes franchise. I kinda wished Koba would have lived. It would have been very dynamic to see the clash between the two sides continue while trying to defend from the common enemy...humans.

[@Just_Jae19]

30:56 kobas death scream is still scary/chilling

[@final_queer]

This whole series is incredible. Caesar is such a great character.

[@FishcakeDLC]

I was so hyped for this trilogy when it was first released and it is still severely underrated. It needs more love for sure not only for the amazing story but all of the great work creatively that was done with CGI, motion cap, music, and all the other aspects of these films. Loved the reaction. You are totally NOT weird for being so hyped lol

[@KingsNerdCave]

My absolute favorite planet of the apes film. Amazing CGI, memorable characters both human and ape, and I love the tone. The apes aren't inherently evil they just want their own space, and the humans aren't evil they just want to survive in their space. Then both sides can benefit from interacting with one another but malevolent individuals on both sides and turn a waning trust into a battle.

[@kobe3941]

A masterpiece about 2 brothers one of them hate humans the other one loves them

[@helinituhhh]

I love that you were calling for blood when Maurice got shot lol. The Apes trilogy is a real solid one, I love Caesar’s character throughout all 3 movies.

[@dingdong1223]

i remember seeing this in theaters and it was so epic, especially when ceaser let go of kobas hand and let him fall. the last movie is so good as well it will not let you down.

[@epl207]

Toby Kebbel plays Koba in this movie, and this trilogy of movies are so good

[@MorganeFichter]

You are not weird, these movies are so much hype!

[@JHolland]

Love how they showed caesars strength when he bodied that guy hahaha , if u think what a ape can do to a human , they can full on rip limbs off and scratch faces off that’s happened irl, they coulda gone down a more brutal route for sure . But that’s me being psycho lol .

[@jaxx96632]

I like that you don't take a million years to get to sequels

[@pugtie4695]

5:25 When you told us to get this monkey off your back we,... We thought you were being mediforical. 23:27 my god you mean to tell us Carver was an ape the whole time,... Shamalan style. And yes I got both these from Decker shado

[@kylewestlake982]

1. your the second channel i love that's reacted to this in the last few days. 2. The hunt was meant to mirror how the apes were hunting humans in the original movie. 3. One thing that i think is vastly overlooked regarding Koba is that he basically killed the world when he caused some of that aerosol to disperse into the air in Rise. 4. Genetic immunity is a real thing. 5. I love the sound Maurice made when he protected Malcom and Alex from Koba. 6. This movie cost 170 million to make. Made 700 mil at box office. 7. The book Alex had is Black Hole, about an strange outbreak that infects teenagers and is transmitted by sexual contact. Pretty dark from what I understand. 8. Koba killing those two jokers terrified me to the core. 9. James Franco and his GF didn't survive the outbreak. 10. Toby Kebbell played Koba. I honestly rank him as one of the greatest villains of all time, up there with Thanos or Darth Vader or Hannibal Lector.

[@Tiredartist9552]

I have to say Koba definitely won me over in the movie, he was just hilarious, even if it was just to screw with the humans, it was still hilarious to watch, he definitely made me jump when he fricking fired that weapon, almost as much as it was hearing Caesar talk for the first time, I can’t really blame Koba for his hate on humans, he was nothing more than a mistreated lab experiment before his freedom, and he can’t really change his point of view on humans either way. I forgot if in WFTPoTA if there was a scene just as good, I remember loving this series, but I didn’t remember all of it, it’s great being able to rewatch these. Team Apes!

[@fantasyland3646]

Yes the next one,I love the apes movie trilogy. There are happy parts but really sad heart wrenching parts and good comedy and action and adventure.

[@CookieSnackRhythm]

[@AMetalWorld]

Great reaction, appreciate you including the subs as well fam. You really key in on the murky waters that embody the nature of the ape vs man conflict. This series took me by surprise, too. I actually saw the entire old series from way back in the day, and the camp of that is basically entirely gone here. It’s really a powerful story they’ve told. I showed this series to my ex a few years back, and she also thought it would be a goofy talking monkey flick. Then she was in tears and engrossed by Andy Serkis’ performance and the writing haha If you haven’t seen them, you may want to consider reacting to the original Planet of the Apes series from way back in the day. It’s pretty dated and kind of campy now, but this series actually builds upon the lore from those. Watching them after seeing this, you’ll have a broader respect for the world at large, and especially for Caesar’s legacy. They made a ton of films, like 6 I think, and like all long series of sequels they definitely start to lose their steam after the first couple, but the first few, and especially the original, are definitely worth watching at the very least. They will certainly give you a newfound respect for Malfoy’s ‘get your hands off me you damn dirty apes!’ Line in the previous film lol

[@coachellyn]

Also, the actor that played Koba is named Toby Kebbell. He does quite a bit of motion capture, like Andy Serkis!

[@freezasama5802]

This is my favourite planet of the apes movie Koba is an amazing villain and the whole atmosphere and setting are incredible

[@sophieeiguess210]

i can’t remember if you included the post-credit scene from Rise but that neighbour the ill employee sneezed on, (or whoever it was that got sneezed on) then goes to the airport for a flight, blood dripping from somewhere and that’s how the spread of the flu starts (i’m 90% sure that’s the reason from memory anyway, so someone correct me if i am wrong!!). which then makes the intro to Dawn perfect as a straight up sequel!

27:21 Cesar aple

[@Maarten_Bondzio]

2:43 A group of monkeys is usually referred to as a "troup". A group of apes, which the animals in this movie are, is called a "shrewdness" as I just learned on Wikipedia: "A group of apes or chimpanzees is a shrewdness. Chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons are all types of apes. Thus, if there is a gathering of any type group of ape, the group is called a shrewdness. Other primates who are not in the ape family, when gathered in a large group, are known as a troop." The more interesting question you raise here, is whether a group of different species of apes (chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orang utangs) would go under either one of those names.

[@adammanneh4692]

Andy Serkis did GREAT with his mocap work on these films!!

[@fantasyland3646]

Coba needs to know the difference between being smart and cowardly like ceaser is being smart not a coward and not weak

The James Franco's character Will not only was responsible for a new species of evolved Apes, but what is forgotten is that he is ALSO responsible for the fall of humanity. His research created both.

[@gr8handsftl]

I absolutely LOVED each movie in this trilogy. The story is just amazing. My only gripe is that to me, this movie should have been called "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and the first one should have been called "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes", but that about my only flaw. All 3 movies made me tear up at least a few times. Hoping that the new movie "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" keeps the momentum and incredible story going forward. 1 more year to go....

[@FrizFroz]

I felt the first should have been Dawn, the second should be War, and the third should be Rise.

WAR is a good one too but DAWN is the most perfect of all the genre. The mirroring of the beginning and ending and the way they do so much without saying anything is just terrific. Probably my favorite movie of all time and that’s a tall order.

God I wish the same riders for dawn and war had written rise, and I wish Matt reeves had directed rise as well. The second and third movie is trilogy or just so fucking good. Personally I think war is the best out of the two, but it’s such a close tossup I’m not 100% sure. I will say the visual facts in war are the best I’ve ever seen in any movie ever.
