What did you think of "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes?"

[@rickbengle5240]

outstanding movie because it relies on character development instead of mindless CHEAP action sequences

[@borrachoramirez5630]

I say it was a great movie! I live in an small town, I got the showing and I had the whole theater by my self with all u can eat popcorn and soda pop 🥤

[@MrZito215]

I was so glad this movie wasn’t bad, it just gets me excited for what’s in store with the sequels

[@alexrajczyk2450]

The overall concept of planet of the apes where humans are reduced to a primitive state and apes rule over the world, is an idea that has always remained strong.

[@mriconreesemriconreese9234]

Looking like it the year of the ape... First King Kong and now Planet of the apes.. Love it

[@wutevergoes]

As someone who covers Movie box office $$$, it is a WONDERFUL DAY!

[@gokulraja2812]

Simple story with amazing cinematography ❤❤

[@rejoegeorge]

I watched the movie yesterday evening, and I have to say, I was really satisfied with how it was put together. The time jump and exploring Caesar's lasting legacy - how his words were twisted by some yet unknown to others - made for an intriguing storyline. I'm glad to see Caesar's impact still resonates and the core objective remains the driving force. While expanding in new directions, the film stayed rooted in what Caesar stood for, and that's what I appreciate most. After viewing it just yesterday evening, I can't wait for the upcoming instalments to further build upon his powerful legacy in compelling ways. The potential has me excited to see where this captivating narrative goes next.

[@dperr338]

Star wars fans were not fatigued. Those movies were just trash.

[@Matthew-ve7uv]

Bit of both. I am not a super can and so couldn't keep up with all the shows, so it's left me behind. To be fair, if the shows were great, I probably would have found the time -- so it's a bit of both

[@davebrautigam1619]

I am confident at this point that I will never return to a movie theater. The producers of videos like this continue to pretend not to understand why people have taken to this position. It has NOTHING to do with ratings, reviews, run time, etc. It had everything to do with 1. How horribly inconsiderate people are. Devices, children, talking , open mouth chewing, bodily functions, etc. 2. The overall cost of attending a movie. And not just $$$. 3. Supporting Streaming services to the point where they can offer day 1 availability of movies directly to your home. I will GLADLY pay $30 for a movie that I want to see sooner than its date to purchase, rental or physical media release.

[@Matthew-ve7uv]

You're not the only person in the world. Other people went out. This dude is explaining why

[@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat]

We don't want you there either!

[@alistairtustin317]

I would love a ranking of the Planet of the Apes movies soon from Looper

[@lonwolf8245]

Saw for second time and it is a FANTASTIC film. The characters are so great and Noa will be the Luke Skywalker of this trilogy. Maybe 3rd favorite after 1968 and ESCAPE. Cannot wait for next one!!!

[@naturalisted1714]

Main Character's name is Noah, and he saves his clan from a flood, and there's the symbol of the massive ship. The result of the flood was to wash away the evil, and bring about a new world... In this new world, we're asked to ponder whether or not apes and humans can exist in peace... Im sure there's a lot more biblical references Ive missed, but I love that they did this with the story.

[@1ove.g208]

This movie was amazing.

[@banthatheory5696]

SPOİLER: İts a great movie but I wasn’t satisfied with certain deaths of characters. There were so many great characters that were killed off.

[@Matthew-ve7uv]

The orangutan ain't dead. Guarantee ya

[@banthatheory5696]

Sure hope so. He was the goat of the film

[@Gor85]

This is very nice😊It looks like movies about super intelligent apes the giant ape are extremelly popular. It think this movie will do perfectly like all the previous. Don't remember if I ever saw Planet of the Apes movie. Maybe. Great video😀

[@kaskovic1993]

A wonderful movie and a perfect sequel to the first 3, it’s not better than the first 3 but I went in with low expectations 7.5/10 for me

[@legion5938]

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!

[@aletaadams86]

Waiting on part 2

[@kipetreal]

Love the movie!!

[@vernontk]

Saw Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and Dune II at the AMC Dolby Theater, both incredible for the theater-going experience. Looking forward to Furiosa.

[@juanjimenez6091]

The Kingdom of the planet of the apes was amazing it brings me back the nostalgia because I grew up on the trilogy of ceaser

[@HammerEcho1]

Enjoyed the movie and will share. But this is just too long...

[@momzilla2010]

its working because it has good writing. that's all. unlike most other movies that come out nowadays

[@dolobrolic6066]

Special effects were incredible story was good …..but the ending wasn’t what I expected. 😉👍🏾

[@shortstraw4]

I liked the part of the movie where the apes tap danced singing in the rain to show their dexterity and vocal range.

[@bman3794]

I heard that Kingdom is going to the the first in a whole new set of planet of the apes movies.

[@trevorbrown6654]

It was a decent film and well made, even if it had plot holes galore and the ending of the film felt a bit strange and led to the logic falling apart (although perhaps the sequel might fill in some of the gaps). The trick with sequels is to not make them too close to each other but also not make them too far apart either. Every 2-3 years seems to be a good figure. As you say, audience fatigue kicks in if there's a film in the saga every six months or so. Both Marvel and DC got their fingers burned learning that lesson, although I reckon Deadpool v Wolverine is going to be a huge hit because it's going to have something original and different to say

[@TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

Because Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes is peak!

[@alefunzouzzle4049]

Good writing, acting, special effects, and plot= people go to see the movie.

[@olleselin]

So it's a success?

[@donovanbickelhaupt5467]

Don’t give a review if you haven’t watched the movie yet. The humans name is Mae.

[@MistFN-et6cb]

Boo f * cking hoo. her nickname Is nova and they barely mention her real name In the movie.

[@donovanbickelhaupt5467]

@@MistFN-et6cb it’s not nova though. Don’t be dumb

[@MistFN-et6cb]

@@donovanbickelhaupt5467 Doesn't matter, it's what they used in most of the movie, i didnt even know her name was mae until i looked It up which just goes to show you how little they mentioned it throughout the show. She's mae AND nova. your acting like such a wet blanket not everyone notices this stuff, he's still qualified to write a review

[@youngrosie1]

[@SEDRICKHENDRIXTHEGAMER]

Just saw it and it was fire

[@mattyboyb523]

Fantastic movie. The female human in this movie is named May. Not Nova.

[@thebrocialist8300]

It was mid, but good enough to hold up to the prior three. I believe they will get it together in the next sequel.

[@Roatanlova68fmp71lliiiak]

He looks like most members of the SA ANC.

[@hughsmith4248]

I definitely like this movie. Show the movie on the release date. I just believe in the in the planet apes it had to be another race of ape no how to do human technology maybe the other side of the world it can be 300+ in the future no ape cannot do. Human technology cannot be. I hope the next movie they discover different ape group know how to use human technology

[@dmora2386]

Hot take, I didn't like it 6/10 narrative, 10/10 acting, vfx, audio. Didn't like the pacing and story beats were off.

[@srayj]

I feel like it was spending a lot of time setting up the next couple of movies and the conflict between Noa and Mae and their respective groups fighting to be the dominant species.

[@EpicPour99]

Who did it blow away?

[@JadenElliott-wz7ns]

I thought it was amazing

[@user-pe1jr7hu4o]

As long as Disney don’t ruin it ima be loyal to planet of the apes I love the movies

[@Count-kp3oy]

Hollywood did not go "woke" in this movie. Stay away from politics and tell a good story, and you will have a hit.

[@javiguzman3868]

No, people Will go SEE a movie if it's a good movie .. Even if it's not a sequal

[@wizzydoesdallas3408]

Am I the only one who thinks the cgi was not as good as the first 3? To me it looks too digital, too "crispy", too bright.

[@alexsnow5092]

because you needed money so they paid you for the AD, but no one actually cared

[@adriangosling-barr8836]

The last films were a lot better than this one.

[@killuazoldyck8080]

i'm disappointed, noah is weak unlike caesar 😌

[@ReanimatedCheese]

Its simple: Monke

[@allelitechannel5367]

Lol you sure about that? It's flopping

[@BoldonBigLad]

Just seemed to last way too long for me. 90 minutes in and still no idea where it was going, what the main characters were trying to achieve, etc. Looks brilliant, but for me, the weakest of the new movies.
