Poorly made all-around, almost insulting

Rating: 1/10 (11 July 2018)

This movie was an absolute shambles, the direction was all wrong, the CGI was weak and overused, the forced humour intolerable and the heavy emphasis on politics which was unconvincing and tired took away from the story which was also weak and poorly planned out. Acting was terrible and the only saving grace perhaps was Andy Serkis' performance firstly because he was the only actor with a convincing accent but he also captured the craziness of his character well enough to warrant some sort of believability. The rest of the cast were bland and uninteresting, their story arcs were unnatural and there were many plot holes throughout the whole film.
The ending of the film has to go down as one of the worst movie endings I have ever seen, heavily politicised dialogue which was out of place within the context of the scene.
To summarise, poorly acted, poorly directed, poor CGI, forced humour, force-fed politics, weak and arbitrary character motives. Although entitled to their opinions anyone who gives this film anything higher than a 3 is not really seeing the film for what it is but for the fear of the social implications of not liking it.
