Yeah I’ve heard a few others not enjoying it either so you’re not alone. Personally the movies just don’t appeal to me at all so I doubt I will rush to watch them anytime soon.
I'd say watch the first two in the new series of films. I REALLY enjoy those!
Hey my friend! As a lifelong POTA fan since the Roddy McDowell movies, I have to say, I loved the movie. For all the things you loved, I did as well. For all the things you disliked, I liked. I really felt the heart of the characters. The friends searching for eggs, that relationship tracks, his parents, that was nice for me. I will agree, I feel Noah needs more personality. But Raka and Proximus were A+ scene stealers. I enjoyed watching these apes act so much, I wanted to see a buddy cop movie with apes! My biggest strike is also the length. I agree, 2 hrs is perfect for these types of movies.
Also, don't sleep on Burton's Apes. Everyone loves to hate on it but the performances by all the apes are great! Walhburg is probably the Noah in that movie. He could have used a burst of personality, but to me, worth watching. And the OG POTA is, of course, a masterpiece.
I'm going to be watching the first Planet of the Apes movie on my Patreon next Monday! You're welcome to join if you'd like!
I agree with all your thoughts Brandon. I knew nothing about these Apes or the human we see in the movie. Therefore, I did not care what they are talking about and the themes in the movie.
I guess we are in the minority. 😆
It's a real shame
Really?? I thought it was a better film than WAR, which was quite a drag - especially on a second watch. I thought Kingdom was far sharper in its direction than both Matt Reeves films (who overplays most of his scenes with stilted blocking and slow line deliveries, even in 'The Batman'). I thought Kingdom was the jolt in the arm this series needed. Wasn't bored at all. But hey, each to their own.
"Who overplays most of his scenes with stilted blocking and slow line deliveries, even in 'The Batman'" ... I'm curious about this. What do you mean exactly? Any examples (I know what blocking means by the way lol)
I'm sorry you didn't like this new Apes film Brandon. But I actually really enjoyed it and plan to watch it again. I even liked this one better than the previous film of the reboot series War for the Planet of the Apes(2017). I am excited to find out what will happen next in the next two films of this new trilogy. I had been a fan of the Apes franchise since I was a kid. The only two I did not really like are the 2001 Tim Burton remake and Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973) which was the fifth and last film of the original series. I understand your concerns about the new characters especially Noa in this new film. I hope they develop those characters more in the next films. However, I did really like Raka the orangutan! I wish they had let him survive til the end. I really like how the reboot series pay homage to the original series and this new film does a lot! The hunt scene in this movie reminded me of the hunt scene in the original. They even show those "scarecrows" from the original film too. And when I started hearing some of Jerry Goldsmith's music cues from the original 1968 film, I had this huge smile on my face 😊 in the theater! Well, like I said before, I'm sorry you didn't really like this film. But I hope you will enjoy the original 1968 film next week on our watchalong! As I leave now, let me yell out WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!! 😁
I hope I like the original film too
I would recommend POTA 1968. Especially if you don't know the ending
I will be watching it for the first-time next week on Patreon! More than welcome to join :)
I completely agree with your opinion. The movie looked beautiful and has great elements but this story just didn’t touch me at all. The protagonist is so underwhelming especially in comparison to Cesar. He captured my heart forest in Rise and became one of my favorite protagonists of all time in Dawn. Dawn went down as one of my favorite movies of all time, when Cesar was shot I cried like a baby. He really was such a well written and complicated character who carried the movies beautifully. I cared about him. Noah didn’t do it for me, he was boring and not compelling. The heart wasn’t there. I did not the human girl character, at first she was boring and by the end she turned out to be kind of a bitch too. I did like the Raka orangutan 🦧 you were talking about, he was the only one I liked and was entertained by. I feel asleep half way through and my kids woke me up lol that’s not a good sign! I still love POTA and hoping for a better story next time around. I will still give it a try next time but this was disappointing. Also way too long! The only movie I can forgive that too is Dune 2, I was never bored with that one.
That's the thing about runtimes! If a movie is long, it's no problem if they use the runtime effectively... aka not make it boring haha
I agree with you completely. The Rise and the following 2 films are amongst my favourite films, I went to the cinema to watch kingdom and I was very underwhelmed, it just didn't click with me at all.
It's quite a shame isn't it
@@BrandoCritic it really is, it could have been so much more.
Hey Brandon, I'm going to see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) in theatres for its 20th anniversary.
Wonderful
@@BrandoCritic I even saw Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) and Harry Potter and the Chamber Secrets (2002) in theatres for their 20th anniversaries, which was even more wonderful.
I personally loved it. It's not the best of the 4, but i find it to be a very beautiful film. I think it was a great opener for the trilogy
Fair enough! I thought it looked beautiful
@BrandoCritic I agree on you without of the points though. Could've easily been an hour and 30 minute film, without all the filler
I have not been the biggest fan of the planet of the apes movies, they are average movies in my opinion, but they are consistently enjoyable. I didn't expect a great movie from Kingdom, but I really enjoyed it. I liked the world that was built and I liked the performances. I could relate to Noah, what he wants, what he values. I felt it was very much like the videogames I like to play, so perhaps this was just a good fit with me.
I see you comparing Noah to Caesar quite heavily, so I wonder if perhaps you're quite partial to that character and maybe have trouble letting go of him?
That's not it at all. I just compared Noah to Caesar because they are both protagonists of this franchise... One was interesting and one was not. That's all. Not because I "have trouble letting go of him"
@@BrandoCritic Sorry, I didn't mean to devalue your opinion. I guess I was just trying to understand where you're coming from.
@@BrandoCritic I have this book called Save The Cat, that describes how in a script the protagonist must show some essence of good quality that can demonstrate to the viewer/reader who this person is. When you say there is no heart, could it be related to this? I'm thinking back to the intro and I recall how there weren't enough eggs and Anaya wanted to take one, and Noah ended up being left out due to him wanting to respect the eagle and leave one egg. Then he found another one of course. I guess that was not a powerful moment, since it was not an exceptionally selfless act and didn't demondtrate a particular strength of desire or any passion. Noah was presented as someone who was looked down on by his father and was just following the rules, so I can understand how he might be seen as a wet lettuce. For me, I was okay with it, as I was projecting myself into Noah's place, as though I was playing a videogame. Does that make sense?
Sure. It makes sense. The opening did not do enough for me to connect with the characters whatsoever. Same with the disapproving father. Didn't do merely enough for me to feel sympathetic. I get the whole video game comparison, but to me that works better in something like Mad Max, where Max just acts as a vessel for the story rather than deep character growth.
Heyyyy can u please review animal movie an indian blockbuster 🎉🎉🎉
Maybe...
Too bad you didn't like it but I fully respect that. That said, I was only a little bored with the first half and really enjoyed the rest of the film
Fair enough! I enjoyed the ending WAY MORE than the start too
POTA. Not a fan. Great review👍
Thank you!
