WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES Full Reviews Are In As A New Critics TV Spot Highlights Some Of The Praise

We had a pretty good idea of what to expect from the critical consensus for War for The Planet of The Apes from the initial reactions, but now the full reviews paint a much clearer picture. Take a look...

The first Twitter reactions for Matt Reeves' War for The Planet of The Apes were very positive, and the full reviews for the film have unsurprisingly followed suit.

There's universal praise for Andy Serkis' motion-capture performance as Caesar, Michael Giacinnho's score, and Reeves' assured direction, which has everyone even more hyped for The Batman. In fact, pretty much the only issue that's been raised is that the title doesn't accurately represent the battle scsnes we actually get in the film, which may leave action-junkies slightly disappointed.

Check out some excerpts below, along with a new critics TV spot. You'll find rest of the reviews over at Rotten Tomatoes, where the movie currently sits at 94%.
.
The Daily Telegraph:

Reeves marshals more than his fair share of battle scenes and sweeping set-pieces, but never forgets the flicker of a face can provide all the spectacle that cinema requires.

USA Today:
War bogs down during a major sequence where Caesar is captured and his squad orchestrates a massive ape breakout, but turns it around before the end when both men and apes have to deal with their own survival-of-the-fittest situations. The satisfying and heart-wrenching climax is a last reminder that Caesar’s new adventure is one of this summer’s best.

Nerdist:
War for the Planet of the Apes is the contemplative final chapter in the saga of primates with burgeoning hyper-intelligence. To Reeves’ credit, he doesn’t try to outdo the end battle sequence from Dawn, instead using the bigger action moments to reflect the central themes, that of two leaders contending with hate, fear, regret, mercy, suffering, and hopefully salvation. You might think you know where the finale is heading, but you definitely don’t know how it’s going to get there.

The Wrap:
Like its two predecessors, it has its flaws - and each entry has had unique ones - but overall, this is a trilogy that will stand as an example of how to remake and reimagine familiar material in a way that respects the original while also enhancing it.

The Film Stage: 
Much of the two-plus hours finds Reeves feigning character development with drawn-out close-ups that register as little more than an ostentatious showcase for the peerless visual effects.

The last one was boring for me. Good film no doubt, but a bit dull at times. Hope I enjoy this one.

This will be an awesome movie and The Batman movie will be great because of this director. Maybe for the Batman sequel Bruce can be teleported into the future to meet Kamandi.

@BlackIceJoe - Im just wondering who Serkis is going to be cast as in the Batman movie.

@Ryguy88 - If Andy continues with mo-cap Clay Face would work. But I personally would prefer him as either Mad Hatter or Ventrilaqist.

@Ryguy88 - I'd love to see a Batman movie revolve around Man-Bat. Keep it smaller, keep it about family and sacrifice. Cool character, but I think I'll be waiting a long time for it.
