A staff report
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a new chapter in an epic sage. One thing we recommend before you watch this film is to watch the previous three Planet of the Apes movies, which you can find on Amazon. They are all creatively designed for entertainment! Now, here’s our pros and cons list.
Pros:
– Character Building and Storyline: The film excels in character development and storyline. Noa, the new protagonist, is a fun and playful character who adds a fresh dynamic to the narrative. The storyline is engaging, with intricate character arcs that keep the audience invested.
– Tone and Setting: You can definitely tell this film is set 322 years after “War for the Planet of the Apes.” The references to Caesar are top-notch and seamlessly integrated into the plot, enhancing the film’s connection to its predecessors.
– Villain: While opinions may vary, the villain, a copycat Caesar who is a tyrant and overall menace, is compelling. He adds a significant amount of tension and excitement to the story.
– Memorable Lines: The film features some impactful lines that are hard to forget, adding to its overall appeal and memorability.
Cons:
– Slow Start: The first 20-25 minutes feel slow and drawn out with minimal action. However, once the film picks up, it becomes much more engaging.
– Length: At 2 hours and 28 minutes, the film feels much longer than its actual runtime, which might be a drawback for some viewers.
– Missing Scenes: There are a few moments that feel like they jump abruptly, as if some scenes were missing. This can be a bit jarring and might detract from the overall experience.
Despite a few drawbacks, “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” is a fun watch. It skillfully balances homage to the previous films with a bold new direction for the franchise. The character of Noa brings a fresh perspective, and the storyline keeps you engaged from start to finish. The ending is particularly insane, leaving you excited for what’s next.
Overall, it was a fun watch and deserves a solid 7/10. The franchise’s future looks promising, and we can’t wait to see where it goes next. As the film aptly reminds us, “Apes, together, strong.”
