Typical blockbuster

Rating: 7/10 (10 January 2020)

This trilogy is referred to as one of the best trilogies out there so I gave it a shot. It just felt like a regular blockbuster to me. Decent. I felt for Franco and Caesar but overall kind of meh. I'm not sure why it seemed like all of the apes got smart. Caesar made sense and the one who was in the circus who learned sign language made sense but the rest started following Caesar like they were as intelligent. I don't know much about groups of apes and maybe they do just follow the alpha but they were operating with intelligence when Caesar told half to go on the bridge lines and half to go under the bridge. Maybe it's reasonable but it didn't feel like it. Catching the humans by surprise seemed a bit reasonable though but I can't fathom why there would be 3 movies. In the 2nd one people would just exterminate them. I might give it a shot anyways though.
