[@davidwaynemain]

Probably the most jaw dropping moment in any film that come out around the same time. We all knew it was coming but tell me you didnt you didnt have to watch that part over and over again

[@condorX2]

Same when I watch it. They nerfed the Apes by making them used spears instead of the of assault rifles from the weapon depot from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes They also nerfed Donkey because he could easily destroy the man behind him after shooting the rocket to save Caesar. I think when the colonel showed mercy by not killing Caesar, that's his downfall. Caesar sparing Preacher got him killed at the end. They all need to be like Koba. This video has 2 hidden message dedicating to Koba. Released Covid-19 in the center of certain Asian country to stop it raise and completely eliminating the Native Americans Indians to stop it threat. Koba style. Update I want to ask the following questions as my memory is still fresh. When the man meet Caesar as he's collecting firewoods. Why didn't he got infected? The colonel got infected and turned within a day after touching Nova doll. Is the wood cutter one of colonel man who defy his order to kill all infected or be killed? Who infected Nova? Did Nova turned the moment Caesar killed the wood cutter? Who's blood is on Nova doll?

[@CactusInsane]

Honestly if Ceasar and Koba got along and they could've created a well established unity. They could've avoided all that happen in dawn and War.

[@peepeemegee427]

I think there's one thing you missed with koba's death scene. It was meant to parallel Jacob's death with the helicopter when koba pushed it off the bridge

@@Howesenberg not to mention a character named ceaser being betrayed by one of his own people. Haven't I seen this one before.

[@moisesinfantes2797]

Not only that, If you see the story of Ceasar from a biblical perspective it is the story of Moses. Just like the Israelites that betrayed Moses that went down straight to hell, it was the same way that Koba fell down to his death.

[@huntercool2232]

@@Howesenberg The irony in the scene is the way Caesar is looking down at Koba. It’s the exact same way he looked at Jacob dangling off the bridge in the first movie and left it up to Koba to decide his fate. Koba showed no mercy and pushed him off the bridge and then Koba wound up in that same situation with Caesar and Caesar decided his fate after seeing all he had done.

[@mudhamartin1162]

No it wasn't 🙄

[@ShatteredAutomaton]

Ceasar is just the most well written character out of all the movies released in this era

[@quantummidget]

One thing I find interesting about this trilogy is that everybody has a different favourite film. For me, Dawn is my clear favourite, but yours is Rise and some people have said War is their top. I finally gave this trilogy a proper watch last year and it quickly shot up to be some of my top films of all time. Couldn't recommend them more.

[@wojtek1582]

For me Rise is the best, Dawn is ok, War goes from average to bad in the second half.

[@quantummidget]

@@wojtek1582 I agree regarding War. I personally think it's great until they reach the dam, love the western vibes, but after that it feels very sloppy. I found Dawn to be a far more fresh experience while Rise was more "Hollywood". Not saying that as a bad thing, just at this point in my life Dawn resonated much more with me. I will say, far and away my favourite scene in the whole trilogy is the first time Caesar speaks. Absolutely masterful.

[@v-trigger6137]

I thought War was a bit average, like not a bad movie on its own. but a huge letdown in quality after Dawn.. then again, it's been like years, since I have watched these movies. so I can't really make a concrete opinion on it heck, I watched Rise, like 7 years ago lol. it's really feels nostalgic when I think about it now. time really flies.

[@Anonimo-hf3yi]

In my opinion, War is the best in concept, but in execution Dawn takes it. Also because the villain, Koba, is very good and memorable. War tried to implement him through PTSD, but that was... Alright.

[@fredeiland622]

@Ahmed malake that doesn’t happen very often nowadays ! Which is why I think we should appreciate each of the 3 rather than comparing them

[@masterzombie161]

Idk why people don’t like Bad ape, I found him to be a Victim of Caesars actions. When he released the virus he didn’t think that the government would start putting down apes in Zoo’s. Bad ape is a reminder of the consequences of Caesar wanting to grow his own family.

[@Howesenberg]

It was the way they used Bad Ape to deliver comedy at awkward times, I didn't have a problem with his back story and his mission to find his son, which I'm fairly certain the movie either forgot about or they glossed over the ending of that quest...or possibly I just forgot which is very likely

[@masterzombie161]

@@Howesenberg I mean it’s fine that you didn’t care for the awkward comedic moments. However I like the contrast from Maurice to bad ape and their dynamic. Showing that it’s core Maurice is a teacher who has to work with such dire conditions. I do see from your perspective though that it’s still awkward and can lessen the dramatic moments.

When Rise came out, I was a little kid, who went to see this movie with my family, neither of us knowing what we were getting ourselves into. When Caesar yelled “no” at Draco Malfoy, I remember feeling this sensation that my life will never be the same. Little kid me was shook to my core and it was awesome 👌

[@riot6669]

I was also a kid who saw the first movie not in theaters, but after it had been out for around a year. When Caesar first spoke, my jaw dropped in awe. It was shocking, awesome, and even a little terrifying. Now whenever I watch that scene, the biggest smile grows across my face from ear to ear and I just love it

[@aceq361]

[@macandcheese7632]

I thought the little girl was a good way to show how Caesar became indifferent towards humans because he was totally down with leaving her to die.

[@TheDudeNerd]

I think most people realise this, but at Kobas death, he gets stuck in a cage thingy which kinda emulates Kobas worst fear, being locked up in a cage again

[@misaelintriago5434]

Dawn is definitely the best out of the three, it's just a cinematic masterpiece and the tone of the entire movie is so good. War is not as bad as most people remember it as. After a couple of rewatches, I've grown to enjoy it a lot more. you really see Caesar's internal struggles more than the previous two movies, it's definitely the most emotional movie out of all three. Dawn still takes the cake for me, but War had a near perfect ending to everything.

[@Howesenberg]

It's been very interesting to see people's response to this video, I thought everyone would love the first one the most but to my surprise it's a very mixed response. Its cool to see so many varying opinion.

[@skoogert6967]

while the ape story in dawn is good, the human plot is so weak it hurts

[@heartless2147]

The reason the US didn't bomb the Redwoods is not only due to conservation laws, but also due to the virus spreading via the pilot being infected by the fat scientist. They had bigger things to deal with then killing what they still thought were just animals, unfortunately for them the virus was so potent that it caused complete societal collapse. I also feel you gave Bad Ape too much hate, yes he is a comic relief character, but his story of being a survivor of purges of Apes in zoos during the Simian Flu crisis gives him more depth as a character. It's the reason he helps Caesar despite his fear of the 'human zoo', he lost his family to humans just like Caesar lost most of his. But I will admit War is my least favorite of the trilogy, Rise will always be my favorite since you can go from it to the original Planet of the Ape movie and everything will still make sense.

This is the best way to make a reboot or remake. You keep the spirit of the original, you make parallels to the events of the original, you develop the original's themes by showing them from new perspectives or subverting/deconstructing them, but at the same time you make a new story, a new set of characters, a new narrative telling its own arc. This reboot trilogy worked because it wasn't literally just a rehash of something we've already seen, but at the same time stays true to the text about the original's theme of "us versus the other".

I love these movies! RISE was such a groundbreaking start. Totally blew me away when I first saw it years ago. DAWN is probably my favorite. Although the human storyline was somewhat weak-the ape colony and the world building was fantastic. Koba was definitely the best antagonist and took DAWN to another level.

The build up from these movies is so masterfully well done. Caesar went from being a household pet produced from a lab experiment to becoming the savior and liberator among apes. He went from being seen as an animal to then being seen as an equal among humans and eventually apes dominated over them. The character development is mind blowing going from basic apes to these complex characters that progressively develop throughout the movie.

It's nice to see someone bring up Micheal Giacchino and MOH: frontline, that game is a masterpiece if for nothing else it's amazing soundtrack, every single piece made for that game has stuck with me through the years. It for me is one of the best original scores developed for any game in the WW2 genre. And I have to agree wholeheartedly about Gary Oldmans character being slept on, his performance is extremely captivating when compared to the other human leads. I also like how the third film ends all happy and sunshine with the apes finding a new home, as if the entire human race isn't f*cked beyond repair. Great video as ever, i personally enjoy the longer ones.

[@a_loyal_kiwi88]

@@Howesenberg I don't believe the game is as remembered by the public as much as the other titles in the series or games in its genre, but whenever I find a fan of the game they more often than not, love it vehemently. It helps i think, that it plays sort of like a WW2 James bond film, with all the sneaking about you do, and the theatrical elements and set pieces, help it stand apart from most games we think of when it comes to WW2. The amount of care that went into the game by the developers was nothing short of gold standard. And like you say, it engrosses the player so heavily, from the narration to the world building, to the score it all adds so much to feeling like what we do ingame is making a difference. Also quite rare for a WW2 game, it actually had the Germans portrayed in a neutral light, with the pub scene in particular showing us their human side. But thank you for the videos, kind words is the least we can offer to people who go out of their way, to entertain others, without them society would fall apart from boredom alone.

I'd pay good money for a full spoiler version of these vids, I've never actually gone and watched a movie covered in a video essay like this XD

[@TheBlackPlatoon757]

I love this movie series so much and was glad to hear you touch upon it and it's great writings! 💯

[@Howesenberg]

Thanks 😀

@@Howesenberg You're welcome mate. That ending of War always gets to me and makes me feel so emotional, it's so powerful. I hope to see more of your reviews in the future my friend! 🙌

Hey great video these movies are great and good fun, I'm glad someone else is talking about this trilogy

[@cannedrice4188]

I remember watching this as a kid with my parents and it was terrifying

[@craigette6122]

with this much quality recaps, you deserve more than how many views and subs your getting

[@keitorin6937]

These are my absolute favourite movies! Matt reeves has been officially established as my all time favourite director, Story Street on yourube does an amazing job analysing the three movies as a whole 💕

[@tareen7575]

I'm so suprised and grateful how far this channel has grown!!!!

[@carltonp420]

Ha not a trilogy anymore. Carry on

[@graemewilson7975]

Absolutely beautiful and superb trilogy will put together and not a character out of place, I was dubious of Steve zahns character of bad ape but zahn completely sells it & makes it believable. Lithgow in the 1st movie is as usual brilliant and as you say sells Alzheimer's as a real disease not just movie of the week feeling. Caesar though holds all three movies together in a criminally underated trilogy character arc. I like the fact the neighbour a prick and when he gets his comeuppance it like a tasteless joke but the punchline comes in Rise with the final credits. The opening to the sequel is brilliant but flawed (any reference to current president should have been excluded as dated the movie instantly) Utterly bleak as the sequel is, Jason Clarke and Andy Sarkis work is phenomenal and utterly believable. Theirs a brilliant shot towards the end of the movie where Clarke steps into the dark working as a metaphor for man's place in the world. War is a great wrap up of the trilogy part wrap up and references to other war movies and a movie in its own right. Woody harrellson is great as a deranged but understandably damaged human being. Great trilogy Great review

Had to refresh my memory with this after seen the kingdom trailer. We've come a long way and i really admire how they keep things quite about this franchise's new entries so it doesn't stunt the screenwriting process. Loved every minute watching this 🙌

[@BatBot]

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes coming out next year!!

[@Howesenberg]

I'm very excited to see the trailer, it's supposedly being released today

[@hellotherekenobi]

Why do I recognize this reference 🤔

[@johnbarb8344]

Dawn is honestly my favourite of the trio and I was surprised to see you didn’t think so highly of it I think rise is the least interesting of all 3

babse wake up new howesenberg video

[@Howesenberg]

Women love this channel, it's my sensual southern British gutterspeak that gets em all cranked up

[@simpkage84]

you left out ceasers inner conflict and him dealing with hate the entire movie and trying not to be like koba. it was such a great character arc

[@Howesenberg]

I try not to include everything, gotta leave some things for people to discover.

[@breadsan7821]

it actually surprised me when I looked at the views and didn't see at least over a million. This video has a lot of potential, I'm glad I got to see this video before it breaks big numbers

[@Howesenberg]

Thanks! It's not doing too bad for a channel my size and not even been a day yet. We shall see what happens from here....

[@sarojandongol1482]

I liked Caesar before. Always thought he was cool. But now that I know it's Andy Serkis, I like him even more.

[@Howesenberg]

Andy really brings a good amount of emotion to the character, he's a class actor.
