re: War For The Planet Of The Apes *****SPOILERS***** Thread

Well just got out of it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was much different than I was expecting it to be. I was expecting to to be a hardcore war like the poster promised, but it wasn't and that's not a bad thing.

It was a fantastic swan song for Caesar as a character. I know Andy Serkis won't get nominated for Best Actor for this, but the Academy needs to give him a Special Achievement Award this year at the Oscars. It's long overdue.

That said I feel comfortable in saying that Dawn is better than this movie. Woody Harrelson is fine as the villain, but it's hard to top Koba. Dawn is just about perfect of a movie for me, but there's something missing in this, and I can pinpoint to being Koba. It's kind of like The Dark Knight Rises missing the Joker. It's just not quite up there due to that missing (although he does make cameos in visions).

Solid all around, highly recommend, but it's hard to make up for Koba.
