They're not monkeying around, I see.

They're not monkeying around, I see.

A+.

Where can I watch the first 2? Streaming anywhere?

 

[BumRush]

Hoooo boy...this is going to be great

 

[Carn82]

I still have to see the second one.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Hell yes, saw a billboard for this the other day. I am so ready.

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Dawn made $708.8 million hopefully this movie passes a Billion.

Best franchise of the 2010's for me....

 

[SpaceWolf]

So literally one of the most consistent live-action movie trilogies of all time? These apes movies really blew our expectations clean out of the water.

I still have to see the second one.

Do it. Now.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Dawn made $708.8 million hopefully this movie passes a Billion.

Best franchise of the 2010's for me....

Same. Absolute wonderful franchise. Nothing comes close.

 

[Zackat]

Oh this is gonna be good.

 

[Vampirolol]

Oh man this is really becoming one of the best trilogies out there! The second one was amazing and even if I had hope for this, I was expecting a more of the same. It seems like it will deliver!

 

[Primethius]

So pumped for this. If it ends up being even better than the second, then that would be abssolutely insane.

 

[peppermints]

It's insane and awesome that these movies ended up being great.

I remember the reactions to the trailers of the first one was pretty negative because of what seemed like James Franco cheesing it up.

I think I fell asleep during the second one (no the fault of the movie), I should re-watch it.

 

[Sojgat]

Liked the first, loved the second.

I will be blown away if this is even better.

 

[AndyVirus]

Dawn made $708.8 million hopefully this movie passes a Billion.

In between Spidey and Nolan? No chance. I'll be happy if it manages to equal Dawn.

In all fairness, James Franco was definitely miscast in that film.

 

[Weetrick]

Loved the first. Loved the second even more. I'm hyped as hell for this one. So glad this franchise is stronger than ever!

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I better rewatch the second movie. I'm glad Warner Bros was able to snag Matt Reeves for The Batman.

 

[J_Viper]

Dawn made $708.8 million hopefully this movie passes a Billion.

Best franchise of the 2010's for me....

Not going to happen if they movie is as bleak and depressing as it appears to be

Hope it's still successful though

 

[strafer]

Guess that settles it then, greatest reboot trilogy ever.

 

[broncobuster]

Caesar, a CGI talking money, has one of the best character arcs across a trilogy. It's really something.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I hope the human characters finally get nailed down. Always the weakest parts of this series.

 

[Farsi]

I'm so damn ready for this movie. These next 3 weeks are going to be agony.

 

[blast0rama]

Caesar, a CGI talking money, has one of the best character arcs across a trilogy. It's really something.

It just goes to show how much that Andy Serkis deserves some sort of special achievement Oscar. His work in mo-cap is unreal, unprecedented, and he continues to push the craft forward.

 

[Nakazato]

This trilogy of movies might be the most underrated trilogy of all time. Day one for this

 

[Bronx-Man]

James Franco was great in Rise

 

[dottme]

A+.

Where can I watch the first 2? Streaming anywhere?

Itunes, Amazon, any classic platform should be ok. Do you have any preferences?

 

[Nakazato]

A+.

Where can I watch the first 2? Streaming anywhere?

Google play has .99 cent rentals atm

 

[Royce McCutcheon]

In all fairness, James Franco was definitely miscast in that film.

Franco was the GOAT in the first one.

 

[FTF]

Oh nice! Can't wait as the first two are great.

 

[CrayToes]

So pumped for this. If it ends up being even better than the second, then that would be abssolutely insane.

It would indeed. I have a hard time believing they can top Dawn.

 

[StrangeRoboMemory]

I still have to see the second one.

Second one is honestly one of the best sci-fi/action movies of the last twenty years.

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

Loved the first two so I'm definitely checking this one out.

 

[HStallion]

Probably the most surprising, and now consistent, movie series in the last decade. Really glad to see the third one is finishing the trilogy out strong. Could we see more movies beyond this one? It seems its still going strong and makes some cash at the box office.

 

[Not Drake]

I loved Rise and Dawn so I'm definitely seeing this. The series has to be one of the best modern reboots out there.

 

[Plinko]

Amazing. This is the only movie I'm seeing in theaters this summer.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Looking forward to this.
Rise was surprisingly good and Dawn is possibly the best Hollywood blockbuster in recent years not named Mad Max Fury Road. It really is amazing how this series managed to come back from the dead after the atrocious Burton remake.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Didnt expect this to be good, so this is a nice surprise.

 

[Ithil]

I trust the filmmakers with this trilogy, they really know what they're doing. Can't wait.

 

[Lifejumper]

Fuck. Yes.

 

[peppermints]

In all fairness, James Franco was definitely miscast in that film.

Idk, his performance was fine. But he's still James Franco which is hard to get past in a serious role.

 

[lightskintwin]

I keep telling people Dunkirk is going to have a difficult time in July domestically due to strong releases like War for the Planet of the Apes, and Spider Man.

 

[Primethius]

It would indeed. I have a hard time believing they can top Dawn.

Me too. Hoping for the best but not expecting it.

 

[Sanjuro]

Idk, his performance was fine. But he's still James Franco which is hard to get past in a serious role.

He was great in Alien Covenant.

 

[broncobuster]

It just goes to show how much that Andy Serkis deserves some sort of special achievement Oscar. His work in mo-cap is unreal, unprecedented, and he continues to push the craft forward.

He really does.

Ordinary you'd think they would anchor these movies on human characters. But the technology and performance are so good you're emphasizing with the apes.

 

[zero_suit]

Amazing, as expected. Time to rewatch the previous films.

If he does get this award it should be for him and the team that brought Caesar to life.

Franco was the GOAT in the first one.

James Franco was okay...he wasn't too bad in the film...but I think there are many other actors who could have done a better job with that character (perhaps one with more innately dramatic sensibilities than Franco). Anton Yelchin, for example. I get that basically comes down to personal subjectivity...Franco just generally doesn't work for me as a dramatic actor.

 

[maquiladora]

Aw yiss.
