War for the Planet of the Apes rounds out one of the greatest trilogies of the 21st century. It also featured a blatantly false marketing campaign. We talk about both in our video review!
What do you all think? Does the new ‘Apes’ franchise belong in the discussion of one of the all-time best trilogies and did you feel lied to by the marketing campaign at all? Let’s talk about it in the comments!
Yeah, they really did mislead us with the marketing here. Still a pretty good movie, but to call it a war is laughable. There’s almost no action in it whatsoever. It gets so slow during the overly long second act that I was fighting just to stay awake. I love the beginning, and I love the ending, but so much of everything in between is just drawn out and dull. I’m not quite buying all of the hype for this one.

The middle was very similar to the entire prison break out sequence from the first film. I think that’s partially why it felt like it dragged.
