    The one good thing about Kingdom whether you like or hate it is that it doesn’t really affect the enjoyment of the previous trilogy. Toy Story 4, Kung Fu Panda 4 basically undo the endings of the third film. This is basically a whole new story with a new set of characters set centuries after the trilogy. There’s nothing they can ruin unless they deliberately try to

      ​@@matthewvalente5877okay zoomer. The 60s acting was much closer to broadway acting. The same goes for Ben Hur and Ten Commandments. All good movies but all are also of their era. It wasnt until the late 70s that acting for film started becoming a different beast mostly due to camera work and set designs getting better than Broadway stage props. I enjoyed Rise as it gave context to how humans would die out and Apes would take over. Dawn and War are carried by Andy Serkis while the writing wasnt the best.

      It’s very ironic that Koba is one of the most evil villain apes and we have Proximus here who is also an evil villain ape. Because both of them are bonobos, and in real life bonobos are actually more empathic, altruistic and always make love and peace with each other. Bonobos are nicer and friendly than chimpanzees in real life, yet this movie series always depicts them as worse than chimps

    To address something you mentioned. I wouldn't say the main motivations for being sympathetic to the Apes was because they were oppressed by the humans. In the second movie this is actually explored when Koba betrays Caesar "I thought Ape was better than human. I was wrong" So I kind of think one of the themes of the franchise is that yes Apes can be just as violent and depraved as humans. Which honestly in a culture riddled with self-hatred like we're some race of demons destroying the planet it's nice to see the idea explored that if another species had the reins they'd screw up just as much as we would.

    • @GFXCXZ
      @GFXCXZ 5 місяців тому +20

      It would be nice for a change to see a movie explore the nice things human do. Because humans DO go deliberately out of their way to be nice to the world we're on, even when it comes at the cost of effeminacy and resources at times. I mean, the fact green energy is even a debate is testimony to that. Many countries adopt organisations and support them who's only purpose is to heal and look after animals we are in charge of and humans have, and do, try to lessen the impact of wars we get into. We don't go all out, all the time and those that do are considered to be small in comparison to the bigger powers at play and rarely tolerated very much.
      But it's always ignored because some dude like....use a machine to milk a cow or something. Or because two nations come into conflict over years if not decades of aggitation and it's such a...well not white wash...black wash? of the things humans do and struggle with. It would be nice if we can just once get a movie, where instead of doing the tired shtick of avatar of "ohhh...nature...ohhh...we're super nice. we have less tech" of instead going "oh, humans had power over a large section of their world...and tried to abolish slavery?....I don't think we would do the same" or something.

    @JadeRunner 5 місяців тому +207

    Humans and Apes being morally equivalent, with neither side being truly better than the other, was always the theme of Planet of the Apes from the first Heston movie. It's not actually about either one being bad and the other good, it's about the cycle of vengeance and how it just leads to more suffering for everyone.
    Ceaser himself saw this in the second and third movies. So it's not incongruent for Kingdom to continue this theme, really. I think Drinker might have missed the point on that point. 🤷‍♂️
    Rooting for the humans when the Apes are on top is entirely natural and appropriate and, again, completely consistent with the original movies.

The idea of apes dominating humans was often presented as something horrific. It challenges our notions that humans are special, or superior and suggests that we are replaceable. The apes even have a religion that tells them they are made in god's image, and set apart from the souless animals (which includes humans).

    One potentially good thing given the general cultural and film climate is what you mentioned about the apes having been the ones you get behind because they are being oppressed, yet now they have just switched roles. Almost like that is the normal course of history. Almost like "oppression" (in quotes because what is currently called oppression is often not), is not unique to one group of people or certain groups of people, but is, instead, the normal course of nature, not only human nature.

    They’re setting up a power struggle that is more than just apes good…humans bad. If you’ve ever studied primatology or watched Jane Goodall, you know that apes (especially chimps) don’t all get along. There is near constant in-fighting, pathos and even war between “tribes.” Also the human survivors who were able to quarantine themselves against the simian flu will eventually polarize into competing factions. There will also be humans and apes that will want some sort of life together away from the power-hungry. There is plenty of room for new ground to be covered.

    The Caesar trilogy is easily my favorite trilogy of all time and it’s bc I didn’t expect to care. I remember going into the first movie at that theater and was ready to laugh at this with my buddies but I came out of the theater being fully invested and emotionally connected to a monkeys story. The following sequels hit me even harder and truly made me feel for Caesar and the tragedy that was his life. But despite that, he overcomes it and immortalizes his beliefs. Being able to see a character’s story PERFECTLY paced from birth to death is so rare and it blows my mind every time I rewatch them. They didn’t get too eager, they never packed too much into one film. We got to fully experience Caesar’s life from start to finish. Going into Kingdom, I thought it was modern Hollywood coming in to ruin a great franchise but was met with a very compelling continuation of this universe. Having Caesar and his teachings turn into almost this biblical thing where his image and words are skewed and misinterpreted by different groups is such a fantastic idea. Noa as a character was easy to get behind and I loved his arc and how conflicted he was over the course of the movie. The grey area of trust is a very compelling theme and I think this was exactly the right way to continue the franchise. In very excited for the future of these movies

      It would be interesting for sure, though I’m not sure if it would fit the overall view of the worldbuilding in this version and it’s themes, since part of the surprise for the humans and the audience in the 60’s was to see we fell, and as Drinker said apes have made alliances with humans before to no great avail, so people from 300 years ago showing up to a major ape society who still regards them in disdain may not be suitable, or at least yet

    I’m gonna be completely honest, I think you’re kinda misunderstood the theme these movies seem to cover, or at the very least I’ve had a different interpretation. It’s not so much a question of “can apes and humans coexist” as it is an exploration of the nature of sentience and how conflict is an inherent part of nature. They’ve shown in the previous movies that the apes are not in fact morally superior to humans. They were just simply in their infancy as a sentient species. In this movie they’ve since evolved socially into a more sophisticated, but also more aggressive and competitive force. Idk I find it to be interesting and am planning on seeing the movie.

    Kingdom is my favorite one of the newer ones. I love the politics of the apes and seeing how they built their culture. Yes the movie doesn't handle the same heavy topics the other three but thats what makes it the easiest to rewatch.
    I love seeing the philosophy of the characters. We have Noa being true to his eagle clan but also willing to try to live side by side with humans, while we have Mae who hates apes super hard and is willing to manipulate and use everyone to accomplish her goals, but all that stuff still affects her, showing her heart.
    We have the Eagle Clan who doesnt really know anything about humans (and not even really care too) and they live in nature. Respecting it while we have the Kingdom and Ceasar, who reside in the remains of an old ship, and is obsessed with making the world for apes and eradicating the remnants of humanity. And we even have humanity but thats mainly inferred from Mae's dialog.
    To argue your point, I truely think Apes and Humans could get along, side by side. As we almost saw with the eagle clan. If Mae wasn't so reckless with her bonds with Noa and the Eagle Clan, then it could've worked out.
    I think Noa is a strong character. He definitely fits the timid child forced to become a leader through conflict archetype but he pulls it off really well. I love how highly he values traditions, which guide him when he's at his lowest, but also how open minded he is to information and conflicting beliefs. This makes Noa a character with a strong moral and traditional compass, but he's not so brainwashed that it becomes cynical like Dune. He's a breath of fresh air in this landscape of subversive leads. I hope we see more with him in it. This movie actually left me feeling hopeful, and that was all due to Noa and his confrontation with Mae at the end. Good stuff.

    • @spaghettibolognese5838

      it’s my least favourite one. it’s not to say it’s bad or anything. but it’s so painfully average and kind of boring. it took too long to get into the story and killed off characters for no real reason. racka shouldn’t have died, although it would make sense if it reveals he didn’t actually die in later movies. noa is definitely a weaker character for me. there’s not much that’s interesting about him to me, his tie in the start was that he wants to do right by his father but then he’s killed off so quickly that now there isn’t really a clear motivation except “i need to find my clan”. which to me would be a strong motivation for his character if it wasn’t so bland when he finally reached it. his relationship with mae really started to bugged me because we see mae order him around to her own advantage, not really caring about his wellbeing and yet he does nothing to stop this. i thought after a few times she lied to him he would eventually go against her and (possibly) join proximus… eventually overthrowing him (?) just a concept… but yeah, i didn’t like mae as a character either, but i don’t think i’m supposed to like her. it feels like they want us to sympathise with her because she is a human but she’s just too unlikeable and i guess that’s the point. i didn’t not like it, but it’s definitely the weakest in the franchise for me.

    i completely agree with the drinker on not connecting with the new apes movies (relatively new) at first. But having re watched them in rapid fire sequence (all 3 movies in the course of two days) i can honestly and full heartedly say they're one of the best trilogies of all time. Easily. When i decided to concentrate on Caesar’s journey and who he was and how he adapted and changed throughout the series i found a whole new unknown respect for these movies i always regarded as mid to boring. I think the initial problem was that i had to wait in between movies and never felt the full weight and momentum of the story. Caesar although hard to connect with him on a surface level (him being an ape and all), ended up being one of the most compelling, wise, tragic, just and intimidating characters ever. Not to mention the ambience of some really cool set pieces, this is definitely a trilogy I will be revisiting. But hey that's me.

    One of things I can appreciate about your reviews is that you try to remain objective. For some they enjoy listening to a critic regurgitate what they themselves already think about a movie or bash on one that doesn't. However in this review (as well as others) you basically tell us the ape movies aren't your cup of tea, but you still go through the critique leaving that on the side and look at it for its own merits or lack of. That is one of the things lacking in 90% of critics. They have no idea how to objectively look at a movie and say what's good and what's bad with it even if a movie they did not enjoy or want to see again just because it's something they don't like personally. This trait is what sets apart real critics and critiques from "critics" who are just spouting out their "preferences". I really appreciate that effort you put forth and knowing if the drinker recommends it's because the movie is objectively good and not just a movie the drinker personally likes.

    What I like about these movies (both the originals and the new) is that they are thought-provoking in a good way. They make you look at ourselves and wonder about the "what ifs" of another species taking our place and if they would be better or worse. And they do it without the nausea-inducing self-loathing of "The Message" currently infecting a lot of media. The movies have (so far) avoided falling into the old trope of "the noble species" (like Avatar) and give plenty of evidence that yes in fact, any species given sentience is capable of both Good and Evil.

    I love this franchise. I own all the 9 previous movies on Blu Ray.
    Worst is Beneath and my favorite is Dawn! Loved this franchise since around 2013 I believe! Can't remember when I watched Rise. But one time on tv they were playing the classic 1968 Apes movie and absolutely loved! Then was very hyped when Dawn was released and was not disappointed at all. Loved it since the theaters. Was disappointed with War's 3rd act, in which the apes don't have an epic battle against the human soldiers like in the opening scene and the misleading poster.
    Was very excited for Kingdom and I like the movie, but it's my least favorite of the reboot trilogy. I still encourage people to check it out, but do not expect it to be better than the previous 3. It is a very slow movie. As a franchise like this has gone on forever and stories have been told since the 70s, it does have that repetitive curse when it comes to long running franchises.
    I do look forward to seeing if they make a new sequel, hope it can be interesting and better than Kingdom.

    Putting out my review today. Movie is perfect in Imax. From a visual standpoint
    Problem is Andy Serkis set the bar so high. No one in this film gave a "bad" performance, but the plot was thin and the themes rehashed
    I fear a part 5 is just going to be more of the same. This isn't a terrible film, but it's NOT as good as the Ceaser trilogy.
    It's a Matinee movie just for the visuals, but i won't be watching it again anytime soon. Unlike the first 3.

    i was a huge fan of this one. ill try to be brief in case the alcoholic maestro has occasion to glance at us peasants. Basically ive always seen the new apes movies as historical dramas from the perspective of the apes (i have a history degree so this may be a niche appreciation). The Caesar trilogy was all about dealing with the clear and present danger of humanity pushed to desperate limits. it was compelling, concise, and didnt devolve into mindless action. this new trilogy seems to be about the mythological threat of humanity and the sociological evolution of Ape society. as such, it needs to be different in the exact ways it is different and the only reservations i have are centered around the humans overstepping their place. Kingdom is also a really refreshing reconstruction of the heroes journey which is very encouraging. i could talk for awhile on this so i guess ill have to make a video essay on "sociological evolution and the planet of the apes" or something equally pretentious sounding.

    1:43 This is a weird thing to say. The movie tells a complete narrative. It doesn't feel like it's setting up anything; there's a new villain and the villain gets defeated. And since it's a Planet of the Apes movie, it's also filled with social commentary that criticizes humanity, with deeper themes under the surface. It's a good movie, and I recommend it, especially when there's so much garbage coming out these days.

    In the old movies, a handful of "good" Apes slowly developed a connection with the audience (via Heston) - you didn't necessarily care about the humans they were rounding up but you did care about Heston, who did slowly connect you to the plight of the humans. In these new movies, the audience is supposed to feel sorry for the Apes and care about all of them right away, and somehow root for them to win out over not only human civilization, but other tribes too. It's weird, and doesn't feel right at all. It's tonally off, and emotionally manipulative.

      This is one of the most cringeworthy points of Drinkers appraisal that it felt bloated and long. It literally personified a movie that was edited and cut from all angles. For me the 2 and a half hours absolutely flew by because of this. Not because it was engrossing and decent (it was) but because every facet of it felt like it was trimmed down to the bare minimum necessary to make it coherent. The character development really suffers hard in this regard, it's only really Noa that gets any. Proximus was so overhyped in the trailers he looked like such an interesting character concept and he's around in only a couple of brief scenes.

But they only had one character scene together, and then they were attacked. The problem is Noa doesn’t really lead his clan like Caesar did so his arc doesnt really conclude in a meaningful way. It’s not clear why he feels he doesn’t live up to his father in the beginning, and it’s not shown why he has to realize “the law is wrong” towards the end.

    The interesting quirk if you watched ALL the original 'Planet of the Apes' movies is that you think they're going for a time loop... but they don't. The sequel has a second astronaut discover a cult of mutant worshipping a nuclear rocket... which launches a couple of the speaking apes back into the distant past. They produce a child who gets mixed in with the other apes but ends up leading a revolt to overthrow human society. Back where we started, right? Wrong! In the new society that is built, both apes and humans live and work together, though humans have lower status because 'ape has not killed ape'... only the latter does happen by the end so the apes experience their own fall from their dogma. Equality is, in the end, achieved after each species has their go and proves they're no better than the other.

    The king telling "ape together strong" and "What a wonderfull day" was "bad ape" from movie3. He was the one that could talk best from all of them when ceasar died. So this reference is, after the war, not much was left over to make a coexistent ape-society. Nova is also referenced, as the "last of the society of ceaserism" said "we call them all Nova". so, since this movie is 300 years after ceasar's death, they know the stories, but they lost the meaning of the words...
    What humans been doing the last 300 years? trying to re-establish their society of course... don't forget that those that are imune to the virus are rare, hence they lock themself up in "city-states", pockets if you wish to call it. SO obvliouse they want to communicate with eachoter.
    This movie IS the whole plot of the end of movie2, whole of 3: In 2 ceasar said: "i tought ape better than human. I see now... how much like them we are. Ape started the war."
    To him, humans and apes could live together, but koda kind of f'ed it up.
