here's a flower
heres your fucking flower back
I loved the film, but I gotta agree with that, it was pretty shoehorned in.
It's because they didn't have the balls to kill Maurice.
Carl Bates well Maurice is is the only one I care about
Harambe died
NERD Incorporated it had a bayonet on the end
My fetish is letting you stop me from seeing movies I don't want to see anyway.
I haven't watched a movie in years but I watch reviews all the time.
Tiger Bengalnese Yeah totally legit
Eye Conqueror Yeah, I think because of the reviews I rarely watch movies anymore.
Watching the review gives me enjoyment. Watching the movie itself, gives me a migraine.

Kekero Underrated comment
More like 3 and a half
He does say his only problem is how terrible the plot is and how it's the biggest part of any movie then talks about the plot very depth. Itd probably be a quickie if the plot wasn't 💩💩
@@soyboy9613 I feel like his reviews are sometimes unnecessarily pessimistic, like the scene where the little girls dad got killed could be interpreted by yourself without it being said, her dad was a deserter and they lived alone. She had the disease that others have been put down for and he probably looked down on her but decide to take care of her since he was her father
Hey he’s making your face in the thumbnail.
Lol yea he is
Wow, you're right!

I hope they make another 20 trilogies purely for the ridiculously long titles.

These are very creative I have to admit.
Aqua Fyre yes it will
Something that bothered me a lot was how misleading that poster is of the apes versus the humans and not to mention the title. War? Sure there was a short battle (or skirmish if you will) but that was between the two human groups.
Most of the movie was spent in the camp with the apes as prisoners and their escape. I thought there was going to be some epic battle of supremacy between the apes and the humans. Did anyone else expect this?
That said, I still think Andy Serkis is brilliant.
darkprince56 exactly what I was thinking, it trouble me alot how it just ended up being "war for the plant of ape with human vs human and apes just in the middle".
I think it could have been alot better like the second film but here's to a fourth film.
Rene Baan so glad to see that I wasn't the only one who noticed this! I was hoping for them to fix this in a fourth film as well but Caesar died in the third one :(
darkprince56 yup sadly, but hopefully his son becomes someone that just hates all humans and he goes out of his way to make war with humans and it's because of his father death and his brother and mother. That would be pretty cool if that's the main plot for the next film and it becomes a full on war between human and apes.
+Rene Baan yesss! fingers crossed
And you didn't notice Rise and Dawn were vague and the wrong way around also?

War for the Planet of the YMS comment section.
This comment section in a nutshell.
Who knew someone could feel so much anger against a tunnel?
Pernion What about Transgender tunnels? Or Pansexual? Why you being so tunnel-phobic?
@@RikNRolla1229 Some people are just sensitive and are intimidated by strong, independent tunnels.
Obviously this movie isn't perfect but I'm not gonna complain too much considering it came out in the same summer as The Mummy and Emoji Movie. Least this one has effort.
Honestly as long as your movie is basically competent and has a hint of passion in it, it'd do better than those movies.
Japeth321 do you only watch movies that make it to your theatre and from large Hollywood studios? What about indies and foreign? Ya know, where the actual decent films are?
I find that closeminded. There are plenty of arthouse movies that I found unwatchable and blockbusters that have stood the test of time. There's no one kind of movie that stands above the rest to me, it's all about how much the movie grabs me personally. And I found Planet of the Apes one of the best summer movies of the past few years (Definitely since Mad Max).
Japeth321 sure thing buddy
He is right you know. Just because a movie is either an indie or foreign movie doesn't necessarily mean it will be good. It will probably be different than the norm which Hollywood studios stick to, but that doesn't guarantee greatness.
"Everybody seems to love them an awful lot. Like I said there's nothing wrong with that and I'm glad you enjoy it."
It just goes to show you Adum. You can say "It's only my opinion," and "If you like it then that's great," a million times, but people won't care. They'll still call you pretenious and shallow all because you don't like the movies they like.
If anything they're the shallow assholes. It's just a movie people. Get over yourselves.
I genuinely appreciate your reviews. The editing is well done and a lot of times they're actually pretty humorous. (Especially the frozen ones where you called out that lying director.) Keep it up.
Haley F thank you someone with common sense
He just says that as his cover to still be a dickhead to people that did like the movie. He's more transparent than anything he claims this movie did.
Am i the only one getting Batman V Superman war flashbacks?
ktownshutdown21
I liked the movie and I don't feel offended by anything he says.
Maybe don't come to a channel called yourmoviesucks and expect praise
I agree. I absolutely loved this movie. Loved it. But this review doesn't make me feel betrayed in any way. He makes good points and I can totally see and respect his decisions. I just don't happen to agree with them.
How dare you, a human being, have a different opinion than me, another human being. I'm gonna spend 5 hours of my life typing down in the comments the reasons why your opinion is invalid and mine is because I'm apparently better than you
And then I'm going to spend another 5 hours of my life explaining how both of you are wrong.
How Dare I - I loved the movie, but you deserve top comment.
That's like saying "how dare you, a human being, have a different opinion than me, another human being. I'm gonna spend 5 hours of my life creating a video to upload to TH-cam so I can invalidate everyone else's opinions because I'm apparently better than you."
Shane Benjamson but yms isn't saying "_____'s opinion is wrong" and he even said that it's okay if you like this series of movies. So what exactly does this comment even mean..?
Shane Benjamson

Adam: "I'm glad the series is over so I can stop watching these movies"...
Silly Adam thinks that we're not going to get a remake of the first one.
Just saw it. Totally agree. This film has a script that is so indulged in its symbology and tone, none of the intriguing plot points are resolved. Everything else makes no sense or draws the oldest cliches from the book. It's like the writer keeps shouting at me "get it?"
倪传历 So what doesnt make sense, please tell me i would love to know
Like Adam suggested in the video: Why the base isn't sealed; why there's no guards at the front door; why the tunnels are never discovered and so shallow as if a stump can penetrate the floor of the base. Just to name a few. The plot is constantly chipped away by those small logic deficiency to a level I cannot stop rolling my eyes.
Guys you are looking too deep into it
It's not looking 'too deep' into it if a person noticed it on their first viewing, problems like these can easily break a person's immersion and things that would have worked in the film would have never worked in real life. I know that to a lot of people, these problems don't mean much, but for the people that like to pay attention to what they're watching, it only makes the narrative look fake and unconvincing.
@@charlieni645 +
Here in germany, these movies are named "Prevolution", "Revolution" aaaaand .... "Survival". I´m gonna boycott this movie, solely because they didn´t name it "Evolution".
Gotta subvert audience expectation, especially when the audience expects something good!
"Omg Adum stop with the granular nitpicking no film could withstand such impossible standards"
They literally stumble upon a magical tunnel system which resolves the entire conflict of the film combined with throwing a piece of shit and try to mask it all by having the comic relief character do it. The filmmaking was absolutely excellent but the plot was literally every prison movie trope and cliché ever.
Terminimal Also if it was just a few desperate people trying to dig a tunnel to their freedom, I seriously doubt it would come out looking like a sewer system that's so well made it could probably support a small city comfortably. It looked like a set piece.
If you want to liken it to The Great Escape, that movie was expertly done to explain every tiny detail and setback they would have to overcome, including how they kept it from being found (unlike this movie) and even bellows to keep air circulating freely underground so people didn't get sick or suffocate.
This movie shows no such concern with making these tunnels believable. If the tunnels were made years ago just dug into the earth, they probably should have been collapsed by then, or at the very least already discovered since it was so easy to in the first place.
Sewer system
If I had 5 dollars for every movie ticket I didn't buy thanks to Adam's advice...
I'd still be broke because I have poor money management skills
My biggest issue with the film is that it isn't what the trailers sold us. The trailers promised us this big movie full of action and battle, but the film delivered us none of that and was a "prison break" movie.
Hell, the title itself implied that there would be a war, when it was really more like a couple of raids. The big war was between the human factions.
Carl Bates It wasn't even a war between humans that we were shown. All we saw were 5 minutes of a firefight - that isn't anything to write home about - before everyone got killed in an avalanche.
VORTIXX FAN And that's why i feel like I've been robbed when i watched this shit.
and it was far better than dawn
VORTIXX FAN I was actually afraid of it being this action movie packed with explosions, because then it would have no character or story or drama, and you wouldnt really care about any of the characters. And you could probably blame Fox for that, because in all the interviews before and after the movie was released they consistently say that it is a character and drama driven story, so i blame 20th Century Fox for that mate
Remember when you said this franchise is over?
I’d kill for a review of the newest, 7 years too late installment.
cinema sins isn't film criticism. no wonder this comment section has the kind of responses it has
Jay WalkerTM no cinema sins is pretty much a joke channel with a lot of inside jokes.
Jay WalkerTM Go watch "Everything wrong with Cinema Sins" (A video made by them) and then tell me they're not a joke. They aren't legitimate critics, they don't take anything they say seriously. (Keep in mind I am a long time viewer who loves all their videos) Their videos are ment to be entertaining. Wether or not you agree with Adam, he usually takes his reviews seriously.
Jay WalkerTM Sure some of their comments are. But you gotta remember, these are the guys who put "scene does not contain a lap-dance" as a sin in alot of their videos. They don't take themselves seriously, like at all. And that's why alot of people (including myself) love them.

Cj cathead, No, Cinemasins just use the joke card whenever they don´t want criticism for their flawed understanding of the movies.
Okay. So, I'm only a few minutes into this and I'm about to tear my hair out. So many of the cliches or plot holes he is critiquing about the movie were answered directly in the plot of the film.
Fuck it. I'm going through point by point. Spoilers for all that follows.
He calls out the script for having the military show up right before the ape's leave as some sort of convenience. He ignores the entire subplot that Winter, one of the ape's in Caesar's group, grows nervous and tips off the humans to their location.
The Colonel kills Caesar's family because Caesar went off to investigate the noises caused by the military's infiltration. The Colonel kills his son because he mistakes him for Caesar. This is set up in a pretty logical fashion. Also, The Colonel is a crazy wacky military man and has based his entire jingoistic society around his own cult of personality. Of course he's going to want to be the one to pull the trigger on his nemesis. It also personalizes Caesar's struggle in the film. The emotional pull of his character arc is the dichotomy that is created between the understanding of Caesar's near-Biblical reputation among his fellow apes versus his own more violent internal struggle and want for revenge. You can have that without The Colonel directly killing Caesar's wife and son, sure, but it lacks the direct emotional connection that this creates.
You have to be very cynical to view the Coca-Cola truck as product placement. I thought it was pretty apparent that Reeve's and his crew were framing this as a sort of hollow bastion of a collapsed civilization. If it is product placement, it's the most ill advised I've ever seen. "Man, seeing that Coca-Cola truck covered in vines and overrun with vegetation due to the hubris of man really made me thirsty." The previous film establishes that nature has reclaimed a lot of rural and suburban areas since the fall of humanity. It's not unreasonable that a truck on the side of the road was overrun by trees and plantlife.
Dude on the farm? Like I guess he could have been smarter about this, but it's clear that he was alone and had also been a part of The Colonel's weird military cult he had going on. He turns around to see four of the creatures he's been fighting for likely years holding weapons to him. He's understandably panicked and likely believes that he is going to be killed anyways. You can nitpick this if you want, but it's searching for a criticism if you ask me.
The intro of Nova. It's pretty clear that Maurice is positioned as Caesar's moral compass in the movie. His approach to understanding and comforting the child conveys this to the audience and contrasts with Caesar's own growing brutality. Also, Maurice doesn't advocate for taking her with him simply because she's mute. It probably has more to do with the fact that she's just been orphaned and Maurice doesn't want her to starve to death by herself? Also, it's established that the developed Simian Flu Virus takes a toll on cognitive function besides speech. Her lack of grief on this is just as likely an extrapolation of this. I honestly thought her performance was pretty strong, but hey what do I know.
Bad Ape's presence establishes the concept that apes outside of Caesar's group had gained intelligence and that the virus was potentially affecting individuals throughout the world in different ways. Also, humor is subjective man. Just because you can't find humor in a scene and other audience members did does not make it a fault of the film. You feeling awkward about its your own deal man.
Finding the executed bodies is established earlier in the scene mentioned. He actually left out the part where you hear the humans being executed by soldiers off screen. (The part about them not being put down by being shot to the head is valid, but again doesn't really detract from my enjoyment to the film.) Again, this scene is an important piece of exposition hidden as a scene. We learn that the humans are executing their own men who have gained this sickness, which loops back to why Nova and her father likely had separated themselves from The Colonel. I'm noticing a trend here where he ignores scenes that provide exposition through characters discovering information through events in the film rather than having them explained to us as an audience. Many of the scenes he is describing as not having a point inform character motivations, later plot points, and the universe the movie is taking part in.
Okay, Luca's death. (I'm just going to ignore the fact that he contradicts himself regarding Maurice and Nova's relationship here.) Sure, I can agree that Luca's death is perhaps one of the more convenient and artificial points in the narrative. However, again, the film makes it clear that Luca and Nova have been traveling together for some time and we do get several small character beats between the two of them before this point. It could have been established better, but it is clear from the start Luca is the more brutish of Caesar's posse and including this scene indicates a more nuanced character that the audience can relate to. We also can't kill Maurice at this point because he is essential to Caesar's moral and emotional character arc. He functions as the clearest bridge between the ordinary apes and their pseudo-Christ figure. This has been established in this film and the ones prior. Killing him here would invalidate the existing character work and would be poor plotting to say the least. Luca's death also functions as a character beat for Caesar because it forces him to deal direct consequences for his actions and his quest for vengeance. It is getting his fellow ape's killed and he could avoid this by abandoning this and shepherding them to safety. The reviewer also misses the point again, in that Caesar only half learns his lesson at Maurice's begging. He acknowledges that his revenge mission is dangerous and hurting people, so his flawed logic here is to go it alone and ask for Rocket and Maurice to return without him. Again, it's made pretty clear in the movie that this was a decision that was detrimental to Caesar and his fellow apes and that this was clouded by his own emotion.
Despite his gripes about the length of Woody Harrelson's exposition scene being too long, he again seems like he missed a lot of the actual information delivered here. The Colonel makes it clear to Caesar that the virus attacks brain function. It is established in the previous film that the people who have survived the virus to this point have some sort of immunity to it that wasn't present in the rest of the population. Because the virus wasn't ever exterminated, it continued to evolve and began to eat away at brain function in a different manner leading to lack of cognitive ability. I thought this was made pretty clear and functions as a smart tie in/explanation as one of the elements of the original Planet of the Apes films.
Tunnel Part One (apparently). The base held by The Colonel's men used to be a quarantine zone for people infected by the first wave of the virus. It is established in the movie that the tunnel was built out of the base's sewer system by individuals who escaped from the quarantine zone and back into the wild. This is why it hooks directly up to the cages the apes are being held in. It is also fairly reasonable that the soldiers here would not have realized this considering that this was not originally their base, but was taken over as The Colonel began to become more unhinged and settled down for his long haul campaign against the apes.
I will grant that it is easy for Nova to gain access to the facility, but she does more or less sneak in. It's established throughout the film that the soldiers are not in their right mind, are poorly fed, and also vastly underestimate the apes. The Colonel makes a point of thinking that Caesar is an exception to the rule and that most of the other ape's do not have possess cognitive abilities that much more advanced than the average ape. Regardless, this sequence was really powerful for me in the film. If it didn't work for this guy, sure, whatever, I'll grant you that. But it solidifies the point of the apes as an oppressed and capable people banding together in the face adversity and hardship. It is also clear that Nova presents Caesar with her doll as a form of comfort. She sees that he is in pain and offers him something that helps her deal with it as a result. It's not a random action that just occurs in the film. It also is a smart McGuffin in that it creates a physical object carrying the new evolved virus that Colonel interacts with later on.
The bit with the door is pretty tiresome. It's pretty obvious that the apes have not yet finished building their wall. It stands to reason that you would wait for them to build the remainder of the perimeter wall before creating some sort of gate to enter in and out of. Also, I don't understand why he thinks it's so hard to believe that a couple hundred soldiers carrying military hardware would be able to capture a group of mostly unarmed apes. The Colonel even makes a point of saying that the caught them by surprise.
The Colonel lets Caesar live because he recognizes that he has a strong hold over the other apes. Killing him would make him a martyr and would likely put all production on the wall to a halt. Keeping him alive and letting him work and be demoralized is a stronger form of psychological warfare. Makes sense to me.
Again, pre-dug hole has already been explained. The tunnels were already built by escapees from the facility. If you're going to nitpick a movie, maybe not zoning out of the slow scenes because you find them boring would be helpful to understanding the different plot points.
Krusiv this is an amazing counterargument. exactly what I was thinking.
Good points, I understood all this after just watching the film.
Krusiv Well said.
Krusiv explaining a cliché hardly removes its cliché status. You can rewrite the same story beats and elements in infinitely many ways, and they'll always be justified within the story: that doesn't make them any less clichéd.
Respect dude, well said! Don't agree with everything you said, it's probably my least favourite film of the trilogy (the plot appeals to me the least) but I love it when people who enjoy the films criticised explain everything in ways that make sense. I went with two buddies who hated it, one of them was falling asleep near the start (rough night previous) and the other never really likes these kinds of films. I thought it was good but I wasn't really a fan of where they took the plot of this series, the whole Ape-pocalypse Now story they went with felt forced and unimaginative.
I'm very disappointed in you. To not like this movie is to have poor taste and totally invalidate your credibility. This is one of the most powerful movies I've seen in years and I have the tears to prove it.
You kept the tears? Like in a jar?

Pretentious at Heart well good for you its Adams fucking opinion.
I usually don't agree with Adam, but I also felt this movie was over rated. It reminds me of the Dark Knight Rises and Toy Story 3 on that it's got a good story, but the plot holes are so numerous that it becomes distracting.
Hugo Patino-Cano Yeah. That's usually the case.

Shooting someone in the stomach is a cruel execution where you leave them to die
Holern right. Your not going to survive if you get shot in the stomach
Holern but he didnt want them to suffer.....
Rik Peek he doesn't consider anyone infected with the mutant virus a human, but a primitive beast. You think he cares whether or not they die a painful death?
Holern exactly what I thought, shoot them in the gut...cover their faces, tie them up and leave them in the snow.
I assumed that's what they were trying to do.
I love how people who have a problem with this review aren't actually talking about the points Adam made -_-
Desphinx Exactly. I loved this film, but Adam brings up a lot of valid criticisms. I still disagree with some of them though. Like, I think the Colonel was being careless because he thought he already won. He had the apes under his control, and pretty much won the psychological battle. He didn't view Caesar as a threat at that point. I also don't think it was stupid that the daughter didn't cry when the man died. We don't even know who that guy was. How do we know he wasn't some stranger who kidnapped her?
His other criticisms are understandable though.
I'm wondering why he is dumbfounded by the humans becoming mute and dumber. It makes me wonder if he saw the original, because humans are supposed to be like that in the far future. As for why the disease causes that, remind you that orignally humans were looking for a cure for Alzheimer's and a painful side effect to their experiments led to the neurological stimulation of the Apes' brain, and the deterioration of the Humans' brain.
That's my main problem with this review, but everything else is either on point or a matter of personal opinion.
Desphinx that would require taking the time to undestand them, and this is the internet.
Jake G 2187 Those were the criticisms I actually agreed with. Abandoning the established characterization for the sake of plot convenience or a dramatic 'moment' makes it harder to invest people in your story. It's the nitpicky bullshit like "why didn't the grenade kill him?" That I don't care for.
they are anal about him giving spidey his 7 inch
My hometown's theater abbreviated this movie as, "WAR OF APE". I died evertim
9:20 "She drops her little dolly in the cage for some reason" ?!?! 😂
Maurice gave the mute girl the faceless blank doll as a sign of comfort and compassion, to show that he would care for her as she could not survive on her own. She gives Caeser the doll for the same reason, while also giving him food and water, to show that she may not be an ape, but she is also not a human to be feared.
Caeser resented her from the beginning of the movie, judging her purely as a human, with his quest for revenge turning him into someone as bad as Koba, irrational and wreckless. The girl's act of kindness helps him realize that at his lowest point, caged, starved and dying, that everyone has the capacity for good and that he not only was quick to judge, but had been wrestling the pain inside him since his wife and son were murdered.
It's also the reason he doesn't shoot the colonel, because after that, he realises that it wouldn't solve anything because the Colonel was still a human who couldn't forgive himself or his own pain. All the cult status of being a leader means nothing if he can't talk or be dominating, hence why Caeser allows him to kill himself.
The doll was also a reference to the original 1968 film, where they find a talking human doll that contradicted the Sacred Scrolls and their beliefs that apes were the only species to speak. Taylor asks Dr Zaius: "Would an ape make a human doll that TALKS?!" thus proving that humans once held superior technology and that apes somehow descended from them.
The faceless doll is the bridge between human and ape, a blank slate for which to explain that we are all the same deep down, and that we can also choose to be good.
Jesus Christ, Adam. I love you so much and I know you enjoy feeling like shit, but goddamn it, read a frigging book on subtext! 🤣
The mutated virus altered Nova's brain. Perhaps that's why she reacts the way she did to that man's death. We don't know if that soldier was her father. Could've been a soldier who refused to murder the child who's an orphan.
Someone else mentioned this in the comments as well but for real, why tf would I ever side with the apes? They hard try to over compensate by making every human a jackass, but like, I'm actually a human? And don't want my species destroyed? For me the biggest most fundamental issue with this whole reboot/prequel is the fact that they try and make the apes taking over the earth sympathetic heros and I'm just not sold.
"Because muh evil humanity" and "fuk humanity they do bad thangs like destroy the environment" are some of the arguments I've seen
BaeCat it's not the apes that take over the world dumb fuck it's a virus that was created by humans and apes just wanted their freedom
Cyprus guys calm down

BaeCat the character doesn't have to be a human for you to be able to sympathise with it. Ever seen finding nemo?
When I saw this movie, I couldn't help thinking of it in terms of a DnD campaign. There's the inciting incident by the big bad that requires the party to go on an adventure, meeting various friendly NPCs to help or complicate their quest. Inevitably the players fuck up the DM's story (like splitting the party or dying to a weak encounter), so he had to make a few alterations and lob a few easy skill checks just so the party could beat the campaign. Seriously, when the girl and monkeys were "sneaking" around, all I could think was that the characters must have rolled a natural 20 on their stealth checks.
"Okay thank you good night" *dies*
i can't stop laughing
On the whole I agree with you that there were moments of emotional manipulation and several plot holes (especially concentrated in the prison camp portion of the movie), but here are some things that might clarify a few of the points you brought up.
The new home that the apes were moving to wasn't located IN the desert, but beyond it. They chose it hoping that the desert would act as a barrier or disincentive to humans.
This is a stretch, but MAYBE the girl didn't feel much at her father's passing because he quarantined her to the point she didn't really recognize him. After all, he could speak and she couldn't, so it's plausible that they were never close and personal enough for her to bond with him. The apes might be the first 'people' to really interact with her.
Exposition in a movie generally isn't good, but this movie only had the one scene with the colonel. To me, it wasn't that tell-y or lengthy, but that's just a matter of personal taste. A lot has happened since the last movie, especially to humans. Since this movie is from the point of view of the apes, you kind of have to rely on exposition to explain the changes that have been happening.
I feel the colonel talked about sacrificing his son not to show off and intimidate Caesar, but to explain his rationality. He chides Caesar for being "so emotional", and describes what the real consequences of leadership are. He himself has lost a son. His decisions seem pretty logical from the point of view of preserving humanity.
But he doesn't wholly adhere to his stated logic. I think he took the doll in (which he should have been more suspicious to him) because it reminded him of his son, who was only a child when he shot him. This weakness leads to his own undoing, obviously, but does add a layer of complexity to his character.
Also, I think he was wrong about the nature of the virus. Judging by the little girl's character, it doesn't seem to reduce humans to primitive beings on par with pre-virus apes, but merely takes away their ability to vocalize, since she learned signs pretty quickly and showed plenty of signs of normal intelligence. Once he got infected, maybe he realizedthat he made a terrible mistake when he killed his son. Hence the depression and the booze-stained photo of his son. It was kind of like an Abraham and Isaac moment, only God didn't intervene this time to stop the sacrifice. The whole movie had religious overtones, where God/The Law of Nature has clearly shown that humans no longer have the moral foundation to be the dominant species anymore, and that we had given into our darker instincts. Despite what the trailers led you to believe, the real war that brings down humanity is a civil war: Humans did not have the strength to unite during a time of crisis, and instead devolved into petty factions. Quite the pessimistic message, but I guess that's how a lot of people feel these days.
Being near an explosion actually doesn't detonate a grenade, but the shrapnel would have injured Caesar
The gas tank was pretty dumb though. While there were signs (graffiti, the Colonel's fanatical zeal) that this was intentionally set there to take the enemy out if the base was lost it was too close to the front lines not to have been set off by gunfire, rockets, etc.
Oh well, there you go. Kudos if you actually read this
K Man lol! You savage!
EnigmaticNothing I didn't read the 7th paragraph, but I read everything else
+Terminimal
Yes, I remembered that detail incorrectly, the Colonel's son was an adult. The Colonel just kept a photograph of him when he was a child, so maybe I confused that detail
Still doesn't explain the either no guards in a facility with LOTS of apes or the just incompitence of the guards in general. Are you sure his entire army didn't have the virus? Because they seem pretty primitive to me lol
Good points. What struck me as really dumb was the humans enslaving the apes. They know that the apes are a vector for this virus which explains why they would want to exterminate them, but put them to work in close proximity to themselves, uh no. They won't do that. Infected humans are more likely to be sent to a separated place to live out their lives, like a leper colony, than be executed.
I could not fathom what the point of this wall was either. It is not going to stop an army of humans or apes. The defenders possession of significant guns makes it unnecessary. I just read it as heavy handed message about contemporary politics, that won't age as well as those from the older planet of apes movies. The same with the fear of pharmaceutical research, it pales in comparison to that of nuclear war.
I'm very conflicted about this review....
Alot of the points Adam makes is true and understandable but...
I still fucking love this movie
Adam doesn't want you to not enjoy the movie, just make a review. You can still enjoy something you know is flawed.
Say... do you sometimes "walk into doors", or "fall down the stairs", but it isn't the movie's fault? The movie is good at heart and only gets mad sometimes when you don't make the sandwich fast enough, but you love the movie and know you can change it?
It's OK, you can be honest. The movie isn't here right now. Tell me the truth.
Me too - love this movie.
This is one of my favorites
Indoor Teakettle please there’s nothing amazing about this movie
"All these issues were easily avoidable, I won't give any examples tho because me smart film critic for not liking popular movie" - this entire video

why bother. he'll just trash the movie like everything else, cuz he has shit tastes in movies.

Miguel Rivera actually ralph liked it and even if he didn't its opinion so I'm not sure how he has shit taste but to each their own
+Spider Saucer I'll be surprised if he doesn't think it's underwhelming outside of "At least it's better than the last one"
It never ceases to amaze me how many people will get upset over someone having an opposing perspective on something as ultimately trivial as a film. I love art and entertainment as much as the next person but I'm pretty confident that the world doesn't actually stop spinning when someone has a different experience than I do with a movie. Most comment sections would make you think otherwise, but It's really not that hard to respectfully disagree with someone and say so without having a complete emotional breakdown. Control your emotions, stop letting your emotions control you, keep an open but critical mind, and fucking relax a little.
Dude, relax. Nobody is attacking him, I just don’t agree with his opinion 100% that’s all.
that was literally every problem i had with this movie. well done
Why is it that any time Adam is trashing a film he literally just explains the plot and makes fun of some stupid scenarios never once mentioning the quality of filmmaking, tone, mood, and moment to moment cinematic momentum.
Yet in his It Comes At Night reviews he calls out people that don't like the film cause they only care about plot and not the filmmaking.
Because it's the only thing he's capable of: state the obvious, nitpick the details, and pretend it's an "analysis". Sometimes this style can be very funny, like in his YMS reviews, when source material is definitely garbage, but for "serious" reviews it's boring and pretty short-sighted.
Tyler Eschberger nobody is defending Adam's exclusion of filmmaking analysis in his negative reviews by saying 'it's his opinion', lol
uty eh wow are you stupid or something in the beginning of the video he stated its was his opinion
The opinions surrounding the film are divisive because it hinges on one factor: you buy into the emotional drama or you don't. Once you're invested, minor plot contrivances aren't noticed and you'll come out with a positive experience. But the moment someone questions something and finds something wrong, the whole experience can be disrupted because you're thinking about it instead of feeling what the movie wants you to feel. This feeling only increases as one consumes more media and over time, one's standards rise exceptionally as the amazing becomes the ordinary. I believe this is what Adam and other reviewers of his ilk experience. Plot and characters can fall short very quickly once you have a solid database of tropes.
The Nitpicker, although I agree with your explanation, I think this is a faulty way to do a proper review. From the experience of watching a lot of movies comes bad attitude of thinking that you know a lot about film. You start noticing similar concepts and approaches, and start calling them a "cliches" and "plot conveniences". When in reality you just start seeing patterns in the most easy to understand aspect of a movie.
A film is so much more than just a perfectly cohesive story, so focusing only on this aspect so much, only thing reviewers do is displaying their narrow-mindedness.
Give Andy Serkis his damn Oscar already. Same for Hugh Jackman.
EDIT: Shit. Who, though?
Adri Chibi but it's not Oscar season yet?
who cares? If the last few Oscars have taught you anything, its that the Oscars are a huge circle jerking joke
HOLLOW NANO When it comes, though.
Chase Wilson Facts. Hugh needs that Oscar more than anyone
fucking pick one of them.
As somebody who actually really liked the first two entries in this prequel saga (yes, there is a 4th one coming), I also gave this one a 5/10. It's a pointless 2 hour 20 minute bore which only serves to *SPOILERS* A. Tell us that the virus mutates to make humans primitive and B. Kill off Caesar. That's it. That's all the movie really does. Nothing else that happens in the movie matters.
I love the first movie. Absolutely love. Great character development, great story movement. The second two weren’t as good but finished up the trilogy nicely. I love how it’s the story of Caesar from beginning to end. I get some of your criticisms, but I very much enjoy the trilogy.
YMS a furry not understanding that talking Apes with submachines is the coolest shit on the planet
"I'll tell everyone you were a good guy" "OK thank you good night" 😂
3:54 I was one of those people who laughed at that scene
So the virus makes people regress, kinda like how they were in the original when Charlton Heston found them? It comes full circle.
It's like poetry. It rhymes.
The wall was made of Michael Bay's filmography
I saw it last night, and I wasn't in love with it either, it seems like we are in a similar position, but I much preferred the last two...
Holy shit i thought I'd die before watching another yms video. I don't know who is the master of hiatus, Togashi, Miura or Adum. Good to have you back
I wanna see a debate between YMS and/or Chris Stuckmann & Jeremy Jahns.
Fight night.
nah, just Chris. Jeremy is kind of dumb, Chris actually can make a semi-intellectual point about film.
Eh, I actually like both
Both make very valid points
However, film is subjective and everyone has an opinion
"Both make very valid points"
Indeed, Adam and Chris are pretty good.
Jeremy is as casual as movie reviewers get though.
Chris wins because he grew up with YMS and JJ.
+Hurry Calls Adam doesn't even live in the same country as those two.
Took this comment from reddit, I agree with all of his points.
"Okay. So, I'm only a few minutes into this and I'm about to tear my hair out. So many of the cliches or plot holes he is critiquing about the movie were answered directly in the plot of the film.
Fuck it. I'm going through point by point. Spoilers for all that follows.
1. He calls out the script for having the military show up right before the ape's leave as some sort of convenience. He ignores the entire subplot that Winter, one of the ape's in Caesar's group, grows nervous and tips off the humans to their location.
2. The Colonel kills Caesar's family because Caesar went off to investigate the noises caused by the military's infiltration. The Colonel kills his son because he mistakes him for Caesar. This is set up in a pretty logical fashion. Also, The Colonel is a crazy wacky military man and has based his entire jingoistic society around his own cult of personality. Of course he's going to want to be the one to pull the trigger on his nemesis. It also personalizes Caesar's struggle in the film. The emotional pull of his character arc is the dichotomy that is created between the understanding of Caesar's near-Biblical reputation among his fellow apes versus his own more violent internal struggle and want for revenge. You can have that without The Colonel directly killing Caesar's wife and son, sure, but it lacks the direct emotional connection that this creates.
3. You have to be very cynical to view the Coca-Cola truck as product placement. I thought it was pretty apparent that Reeve's and his crew were framing this as a sort of hollow bastion of a collapsed civilization. If it is product placement, it's the most ill advised I've ever seen. "Man, seeing that Coca-Cola truck covered in vines and overrun with vegetation due to the hubris of man really made me thirsty." The previous film establishes that nature has reclaimed a lot of rural and suburban areas since the fall of humanity. It's not unreasonable that a truck on the side of the road was overrun by trees and plantlife.
4. Dude on the farm? Like I guess he could have been smarter about this, but it's clear that he was alone and had also been a part of The Colonel's weird military cult he had going on. He turns around to see four of the creatures he's been fighting for likely years holding weapons to him. He's understandably panicked and likely believes that he is going to be killed anyways. You can nitpick this if you want, but it's searching for a criticism if you ask me.
5. The intro of Nova. It's pretty clear that Maurice is positioned as Caesar's moral compass in the movie. His approach to understanding and comforting the child conveys this to the audience and contrasts with Caesar's own growing brutality. Also, Maurice doesn't advocate for taking her with him simply because she's mute. It probably has more to do with the fact that she's just been orphaned and Maurice doesn't want her to starve to death by herself? Also, it's established that the developed Simian Flu Virus takes a toll on cognitive function besides speech. Her lack of grief on this is just as likely an extrapolation of this. I honestly thought her performance was pretty strong, but hey what do I know.
6. Bad Ape's presence establishes the concept that apes outside of Caesar's group had gained intelligence and that the virus was potentially affecting individuals throughout the world in different ways. Also, humor is subjective man. Just because you can't find humor in a scene and other audience members did does not make it a fault of the film. You feeling awkward about its your own deal man.
7. Finding the executed bodies is established earlier in the scene mentioned. He actually left out the part where you hear the humans being executed by soldiers off screen. (The part about them not being put down by being shot to the head is valid, but again doesn't really detract from my enjoyment to the film.) Again, this scene is an important piece of exposition hidden as a scene. We learn that the humans are executing their own men who have gained this sickness, which loops back to why Nova and her father likely had separated themselves from The Colonel. I'm noticing a trend here where he ignores scenes that provide exposition through characters discovering information through events in the film rather than having them explained to us as an audience. Many of the scenes he is describing as not having a point inform character motivations, later plot points, and the universe the movie is taking part in.
8. Okay, Luca's death. (I'm just going to ignore the fact that he contradicts himself regarding Maurice and Nova's relationship here.) Sure, I can agree that Luca's death is perhaps one of the more convenient and artificial points in the narrative. However, again, the film makes it clear that Luca and Nova have been traveling together for some time and we do get several small character beats between the two of them before this point. It could have been established better, but it is clear from the start Luca is the more brutish of Caesar's posse and including this scene indicates a more nuanced character that the audience can relate to. We also can't kill Maurice at this point because he is essential to Caesar's moral and emotional character arc. He functions as the clearest bridge between the ordinary apes and their pseudo-Christ figure. This has been established in this film and the ones prior. Killing him here would invalidate the existing character work and would be poor plotting to say the least. Luca's death also functions as a character beat for Caesar because it forces him to deal direct consequences for his actions and his quest for vengeance. It is getting his fellow ape's killed and he could avoid this by abandoning this and shepherding them to safety. The reviewer also misses the point again, in that Caesar only half learns his lesson at Maurice's begging. He acknowledges that his revenge mission is dangerous and hurting people, so his flawed logic here is to go it alone and ask for Rocket and Maurice to return without him. Again, it's made pretty clear in the movie that this was a decision that was detrimental to Caesar and his fellow apes and that this was clouded by his own emotion.
9. Despite his gripes about the length of Woody Harrelson's exposition scene being too long, he again seems like he missed a lot of the actual information delivered here. The Colonel makes it clear to Caesar that the virus attacks brain function. It is established in the previous film that the people who have survived the virus to this point have some sort of immunity to it that wasn't present in the rest of the population. Because the virus wasn't ever exterminated, it continued to evolve and began to eat away at brain function in a different manner leading to lack of cognitive ability. I thought this was made pretty clear and functions as a smart tie in/explanation as one of the elements of the original Planet of the Apes films.
10. Tunnel Part One (apparently). The base held by The Colonel's men used to be a quarantine zone for people infected by the first wave of the virus. It is established in the movie that the tunnel was built out of the base's sewer system by individuals who escaped from the quarantine zone and back into the wild. This is why it hooks directly up to the cages the apes are being held in. It is also fairly reasonable that the soldiers here would not have realized this considering that this was not originally their base, but was taken over as The Colonel began to become more unhinged and settled down for his long haul campaign against the apes.
11. I will grant that it is easy for Nova to gain access to the facility, but she does more or less sneak in. It's established throughout the film that the soldiers are not in their right mind, are poorly fed, and also vastly underestimate the apes. The Colonel makes a point of thinking that Caesar is an exception to the rule and that most of the other ape's do not have possess cognitive abilities that much more advanced than the average ape. Regardless, this sequence was really powerful for me in the film. If it didn't work for this guy, sure, whatever, I'll grant you that. But it solidifies the point of the apes as an oppressed and capable people banding together in the face adversity and hardship. It is also clear that Nova presents Caesar with her doll as a form of comfort. She sees that he is in pain and offers him something that helps her deal with it as a result. It's not a random action that just occurs in the film. It also is a smart McGuffin in that it creates a physical object carrying the new evolved virus that Colonel interacts with later on.
12. The bit with the door is pretty tiresome. It's pretty obvious that the apes have not yet finished building their wall. It stands to reason that you would wait for them to build the remainder of the perimeter wall before creating some sort of gate to enter in and out of. Also, I don't understand why he thinks it's so hard to believe that a couple hundred soldiers carrying military hardware would be able to capture a group of mostly unarmed apes. The Colonel even makes a point of saying that the caught them by surprise.
13. The Colonel lets Caesar live because he recognizes that he has a strong hold over the other apes. Killing him would make him a martyr and would likely put all production on the wall to a halt. Keeping him alive and letting him work and be demoralized is a stronger form of psychological warfare. Makes sense to me.
14. Again, pre-dug hole has already been explained. The tunnels were already built by escapees from the facility. If you're going to nitpick a movie, maybe not zoning out of the slow scenes because you find them boring would be helpful to understanding the different plot points."-gorosaur
KevJumbaify That guy from Reddit sounded to butthurt to me when he said he was going to tear his hair out. Well that's how some people on Reddit can be sometimes, like TH-cam comment sections.
Grit yet still, everything he said made complete sense, but because of him mention his personal feelings once, you disregard every point he made and write him off as some butt hurt fan...
Kerm8 Of course he made valid points when he made some comeback about Adam's critique on the movie, but he needs to be careful with his attitude next time.
Jesus this must have taken time but it payed off, this movie deserved a better score.
Reviews aren't always about the score, or at least it shouldn't be.
I can't really see the logic of people using numbers for their enjoyment of something, it just doesn't work.

I dunno, the scenes full of bald, dirty angry white guys yelling at monkeys to build their wall seems to be a clear indicator to me. Have you seen the film? Also, yes, they are clearly antagonistic, why? Why would a relatively small group of survivors trying to live in a hostile environment be seen as the bad guys? Why not the militarized force that seems to be the obviously larger threat to both groups? Seems you guys are just ignoring the obvious and clear propaganda scenes and plot in order to troll or shill for a group of people.
I'm only bothering to respond to this bait and give (yous) because I just wanted to point out how sad it is that multi-billion dollar propaganda firms need protection from the oh-so-mean comments from people who don't buy their shit. I get that life is short and shilling gets ya paid, but making other people's lives miserable when it's already short and miserable for a few extra bucks is just pathetic.
It's almost a retelling of Moses
I get that this film is not without it's flaws but the way this film depicts suffering and the hollowness of revenge is flawless in my opinion. I adore this film
Now we have Last of Us 2
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one bored by this movie. I thought I was missing something.
I stopped the movie at the "oh look a magic hole into the enemy base!", it was baffling to me that someone got paid to write that.
The real question is, WHERE IS ALL THE ACTION? It says war in the title.
Artwork by Christopher Cayco same
Artwork by Christopher Cayco i think it was more the complete bull shit of the end. Like the entire base justexploding. Even the rocks blew up. Wtf?
Honestly bro. YMS and Adam rants are the only reviews I’ve seen that call this movie out on its shit. I guess guys named Adam don’t like Planet of the Apes like that.
7:10- he explained that things will turn out just like in the original movie (all humans are mute and are dumb like apes were) in the original movies there is no explanation as to why all humans are mute and dumb but in this movie it made an explanation. That was the point of it.
But exposition without drama is just infodump, and "primitive mentality" is a weirdly vague description.
There is a reason why the other movies didn't explain it, because it's better to not explain something and have a mystery surrounding it rather than make up some incredibly stupid and cliched explanation that will destroy absolutely any chance that the audience takes it seriously.
Its just "Midi-chlorians" all over again.
They literally didn't explain it until the third act, only conveying through "drama" until then.
The whole trilogy starts out with an Alzheimer's drug, and you guys think it's stupid that the humans were hit with a disease that rapidly destroys brain function? Are you for real? It's fine if you didn't like the movie, or even the trilogy, but don't think you're hot shit just because you couldn't understand a pretty simple plot point.
Your point makes absolutely no sense, you jump from "Alzheimer's cure" to "brain-destroying disease" with absolutely nothing in between other than assumptions, the fact that they literally had to stop the movie just so a character can slowly explain it to the audience already shows how badly integrated is into the movie.
My point was that they should have moved on from that and keep it a mystery, instead of spotlighting something bad.
You can think it was dumb all you want. I caught it petty early in the film, thought back on two films that I've only seen once and made the connection. I also thought it was dumb to spend exposition on it, because it seemed pretty obvious to me.
The guy who died wasn't her father, she didn't even have a name.
5/10 seems harsh as well considering you gave The Amazing Spider-Man a 6/10.
Its Always Funny in Sillydelphia So what if he isn't? He's still the one taking care of the girl before hand. Unless your gonna say she just Happened to arrive at the same time as Caesar and was able to stay feed and warm up to that point by herself.
Its Always Funny in Sillydelphia 5/10= average so it's not that bad.
Its Always Funny in Sillydelphia
I think Woody Harrelson mentioned something about people running away with their kids when they caught the new virus, so it probably was her dad. I don't know how you would convince anyone else to care for a child with a highly contagious disease that turns you stupid. Wait, maybe he did catch the new virus and that was why he thought that drawing a gun on 4 armed assailants was a good idea. Now it makes sense.
Most of this review and his critiques are just stupid, anyways. All of his arguments can be explained by just thinking about it. I mean the third act did have some stupid ass conviences, but goddamn most of whatever else he complained about was explained in the movie. It was so cringey watching him so confidently talk trash about shit he refused to understand, like watching Trump talk about politics. I'm not gonna lie.
And of course most people are going to ride his dick because they didn't even bother watching the movie.
5/10 is not average wtf are you smoking
I actually loved the first two movies, despite their flaws (and liked your reviews even so). But man, I hated this movie. It almost made me wonder if they were all this bad but I somehow didn't notice until now. This was my most anticipated movie of the year and I couldn't have been more disappointed. Why is nobody guarding this base?! Wtf.
I really enjoyed this film; I agree with most of the positives you pointed out and recognized some of the negatives while watching it myself. For instance occasionally they did sign language to other characters that weren't even looking at them which is pretty hilarious. However the fact that a mainstream film consisted primarily of subtitles and grunts was a risk that some big studios wouldn't take. Also I love how brutal this movie is occasionally and none of the usual 12 rated censored bullshit that floods cinema's nowadays. I dunno I feel like you so easily bashed the last movie for being generic (which it certainly was) but don't recognize some of things that set this one apart from your average blockbuster. Nevertheless keep up the good work pal.
Ya you saw how that ape gave her that flower, then died. They really tried with the plot. Especially with the emotional investment in characters

Oh shit, a full YMS review. Thanks Adam, these are very entertaining, wish you'd do more.
A giant water source in a desert is called an Oasis... have you never heard of "an oasis in the desert"?..
I respect your opinion. It's well put. But I just wanted to say that I think the reason the little girl didn't really have an emotion to her father's death is because she is infected with that variant virus. Degrading her brain. Possibly affecting things like memory, etc.
Or it’s shitty acting. You shouldn’t have to make the movie make sense.
i also thought the girl didn’t seem fully aware
Woody harrelsons character gets depressed about killing his son after he gets infected because he realizes it doesn't degrade your brain. It's why he blows his brains out. The little girl character can sign and understand english- she isn't stupid, just mute. My thing is that we don't even know that that man is her father. We have no idea who he is or her relation to him so, even though it makes most sense that it would be her dad, I just decided to let it slide.
"It just so happens that the individual that kills two of our main character's family members is the main bad guy."
I see what you're saying, but the fact that that individual kills two of our main character's family members is *why* he's the main bad guy.
@@linuseldridge9836 movies plots wouldn't happen if coincidences didn't happen
I'm actually really looking forward to this movie. We agree on a lot of things but I know you don't like this Ape Trilogy. Which is a shame. I still love you man. However I also love these damned dirty ape!
The ending was really anticlimactic
Thats a shame. :( I hope I at least enjoy it. I'll probably end up doing my own review after seeing it.
I thought it was fitting. Just cause it's not some epic battle doesn't mean it doesn't fit nicely into the themes of the original planet of the apes.

YMS: The Emoji Movie
oh bless your heart, I was so tired of people saying how nice this movie is :))) Believe it or not, this movie still runs in the cinema here. Somehow, there are still people wanting to see this movie...
Accurate review. Couple points, I had convinced myself that the man wasn't her father, but was actually holding her captive. Made it easier to accept her lack of emotion, and accompanying the muderes.
They did also mention that people were using the tunnels to escape.
The rocket launcher scene had me laughing as well. Not even a spec of shrapnel hit Cesar.
Game of Thrones premiere, Chris Stuckmann's Batman Begins review AND the YMS Planet of the Apes review in the same day? Damn, what an eventful day!
I respect your opinion, but holy fuck, I loved this movie.
Nicolás Paradoja who said this movie was awful? I think YMS was just saying that the movie wasn't as good as everyones saying
Fabian Trenche I loved it as well!
Me too! It was a great improvement on the last two in the series, and a really good movie.
"I just saw [movie] and it was all right I guess..." NEXT
"I just saw [movie] and it was pretty good." NEXT
"I just saw [movie] and it was dumb." Ahhh there we go.
2:50
Actually, only 3 apes had assault rifles, Ceasar had a shotgun, but when Ceasar fired his shotgun, there was an effect for a short burst from an assault rifle.
Idk why he said the guy had a pistol. He very clearly has an assault rifle that goes off after Ceasar fired his shotgun. It's so obvious I don't get how anyone could see it otherwise. We see the assult rifle fly when he gets shot. We see he had it hanging on his back with a strap. Did this guy actually watch the movie?
Right when I saw the length of the video I knew Adam wasn't going to like the movie. It's not about the intricacy of the plot for me. It's just nice seeing Andy Serkis as a CGI Ape do awesome shit. Out of all the big blockbuster sequels lately, this one is by far my favorite.
We already saw an amazing fight between apes and humans in Dawn, so why rehash the exact same thing from the previous film?
I actually quite enjoyed this film. I didn’t even find it boring which kinda surprised me.
You gave this a 10 but Dam... Oh wait wrong channel
Wrongthony chantano here
This movie went way overboard with the Jesus and Nazi allegories and imagery
You ever think that LITERALLY HOLOCAUST YOU GUYS prison camp based excuses to kill villains will ever wear thin?
Alright, I totally understand your view regardless of my opposite opinion. However, I don't understand how you gave this movie a 5/10 while Amazing Spider-Man got 6. One of the main themes I got from this review is how cliche you thought this film was yet The Amazing Spider-Man had the most standardized plot and characters. Love interest with girl out of his league, they eventually fall in love, father doesn't like the boy, the final battle is on the roof + many more. I actually liked your review and thought you had some good points but can you please explain how you think this is worse than the Amazing Spider-Man please.
Jesus Christ I am sorry for my long comment
It could be because he found that movie to be so bad that it was funny? Or could just be because it's an older review and his scoring method changed a bit
Ethan TM I think he gave Amazing Spider-Man more of a break because it didn't take itself too seriously and wasn't trying to make grand or profound statements about morality on a bare-boned plot.
Ethan TM *clears throat*....ITS HIS OPINION.
Ethan TM The way his rating system works is pretty simple. Every movie starts at 5/10, and depending on how good and bad it is, it'll go above and below average. So to Adam, Spiderman must've had enough to go up one, regarding of what he didn't like. As for this film, it probably had an equal amount of pros and cons to just stay a five in his eyes.
""You're tearing me apart, Lisa"!
I found this film a huge disappointment after the last one.
Gives Dunkirk a 8/10 but DAMN a 7/10.
I really enjoyed this film. A great end to one of the best trilogies. But I really love how you nitpick everything. That's why I love seeing your reviews. Keep up the awesome work.
The movie poster is so misleading! There was no head to head confrontation between the Apes and Humans. Also, if its war for the 'planet', why concentrate this movie to a small geographic location?
I loved this movie, aside from the part about the tunnel systems (which I personally understood, or at least thought I did) I literally had every problem you had with the movie when I was watching it. If they got rid of the girl it would get rid of a majority of this movies problems. The forced scene with the ape and the flower wouldn't be there, she wouldn't have been distracting because of her bad acting, and she wouldn't have walked right into the facility. 5/10 is ridiculously harsh, even for you imo. 5/10 means it was a completely average movie when its cgi and music alone would make it slightly above average. I think you're being harsher on this movie because you didn't like the others, which is fine, but I usually see more objectivity in your reviews so this was really off putting. Really well structured review like always though.
This trilogy was pretty great fot that type of movie. You trashed the other 2 movies so I figured you would this one too.
Heisenberg Mister white?
Heisenberg wanna hear a knock knock joke?
I'm watching Rise right now, this is uncanny. Anyway, I was so surprised how well this movies were. Shows how to do a reboot the right way.
"I was so surprised how well this movies were"
what.
If English is your second language, then keep up the good work! If not, then how come you can't speak/write your own language properly? Serious question.
Are you still planning to review Moral Orel? It definitely got the shaft by Adult Swim and deserves a lot more analysis and love from people. Great video as always.
wow, I never noticed how absolutely contrived this series is.
0:05 Calling it right now. Fanboys are going to try and de-legitimize your opinion for mentioning this.
People who loved the movie (myself included) are going to try to de-legitimize his opinion for making an obvious joke? Out of all the quotes in this review that fans might use against him, that is perhaps one of the worst examples you could possibly pick.
So you recognize that the quote is an obvious joke but not that my last comment is also an obvious joke?
When it's appears to be worded so seriously, I would hardly call that "obvious". Although re-reading it, it looks like it was a joke after all. YMS also has the help of communicating the joke through his voice.
Why the heck were the "anti-human" apes from the second movie working with the humans against the apes in this one? Caesar explains that Kiba or Kobu's (I don't remember the name) followers joined the humans, but, that doesn't really make sense at all. I mean, they were against Caesar in the second movie, because Caesar didn't hate humans, so once their leader was dead, they were all like "I guess we gotta join the humans now to get revenge against this human loving ape." That makes zero sense. And at the end, Donkey, I guess, remembered that he hated humans to begin with?
Chaosdogg47 he says they joined the humans for fear of what he would do to them 😂 he literally says it in the movie.
As for the girl not grieving about her father, could it be fair to say maybe he was abusive to her? Or simple, he didn't understand her and couldn't make an emotion connection with her? For all we know, that may have not even been her father.
The house was in tatters, and she was hiding in her bed in fear (could be the apes as well). She also seems to have a much better connection with apes instead of humans, maybe also representing a better understanding and sense of belonging with the apes instead of humans.
Um he risked his life by deserting so he wouldn't have to kill her.
Well why didn't they fucking show it then? You know, the one thing you do with cinema ... Showing scenes to people
Sorry but this movie really pissed me off, it was so blatantly anti-human. They made the "radical" humans look like neo nazis the entire time with no good in them, even the crossbow guy that looked like he may have turned "good" ended up dying as a bad guy, then when the "good humans" show up they cover all there faces with ski masks to give them no personality so you wouldn't feel sad when they all died, and I love the part where Nova sees her dead father on the ground and gives zero emotion and walks away but when an ape shes known for 1 day dies she cries her eyes out
They demonized the colonel even though he was clearly in the right that the virus was gonna kill everyone, and just as a big fuck you they end the movie with a big "apes lives happily ever after" and the humans? oh who gives a fuck about if their race survives, all we know is they all died basically
like avatar!
Who were the "good" humans anyway? I havent watched the film and dont intent to but this question bothers me.
Like, What purpose are the Attacking humans seeking in killing off a base of guys that try to survive an ape induced virus that will make them mentally regressive and mute?
basically the main bad guy knows about the virus and wants to kill anyone who is infected and the rest of the U.S army is like "we can't kill our own kind" so he takes like a quarter of the army with him and they go to the prison to make it there new base while the rest of the U.S army is coming to kill them for being "traitors"
Ahh I see, okay that gives it a better light and makes it more cohesive.
Thank you for explaining it!
Winterfell Why where did a new virus come from?
(no footage available)
~.~
Adum should just dl a cam copy, wgaf
I thought some of the Bad Apes moments were pretty funny, also the part where the Colonel Guy dying was a nice touch
still better than the walking dead
8/10, 92% Rotten tomatoes, Groundbreaking

Chase Wilson
IT BROKE NEW GROUND!!!!!!!!
CEASER SHOWED UP AND I CLAPPED!!!!!!
I APLAUDED IT FOR BEING DIFFERENT!!!!!
Lmao so everyone else's opinion is invalidated simply because Adam didn't like it?
Dont you realize they eat up all his shit like the little dog fuckers they are
1. Have seen the movie, not even close to as great most reviewers says it is.
2. Really loving the salt and excuses in this reply/comment section. Giving me a good laugh, so I hope everyone keeps it coming.
Chase Wilson Movie is objectively well made, cinematography,soundtrack, acting, visual effects, lighting etc were all flawlessly done, and that's modtly what critics look at, if your whole argument for this movie to be bad because there are couple of stupid scenes which don't even last over 2 minutes then you have a problem
