Not the best entry in the series, but not the worst. Actually a fairly ordinary Future Dystopian Uprising movie with apes.

The series begins its downslide here with less convincing makeup and a talky, heavy-handed script salvaged by good acting by McDowall and Montalban and an exciting climax apparently inspired by the Watts riots in Los Angeles.

Lacks the bite or wit of its predecessors and instead goes for outright thoughtless shock. Gaping logic holes and the flimsy plot is strained well past its breaking point. Characters act with very little reason or justification. Roddy McDowall does give an admirable performance, with what little he has to work with.

With this installment planet of the apes reached level of pure exploitation cinema. And not even decent at that. Some excessive violence, terrible writing, small budget that shows...

That's some seriously fast evolution, right there.

This is simlar to the 2011 version, but this one is not that well executed.

A vast improvement over the previous two films. The makeup isn't so good anymore, but the movie itself is very enjoyable and thoughtful.

It's just 'okay'.

I only half-watched the last 40 minutes, to be honest. I've now gotten thorough 4 of the 5 original films, the 2001 remake, and the 2011 reboot. That's 6 of the 7 films seen. Of those, (sorry to those who love the 2011 version,) the original 1968 film is the only one that's really worth seeing. Given that track record, I'm not going to bother seeing Battle for the Planet of the Apes. Having been burned 5 times in a row, it's not even tempting.

The first movie is great, and the rest in the saga all have some nice part and then the most of them are from bad to decent. The best part on this one is everything related to ape slavery industry as a concept (but only the concept, not the result), and the idea of Caesar in the middle of that. But once that's done, the rest is quite bad and not specially enjoyable.

It's hardly enjoyable, but the last 30 minutes are the best of all sequels.

Actually kind of bad-assed. All of the civil rights parallels aside, I liked watching the apes kick some ass. Mindless fun.

Really boring and tired.

The most fun of the PotA sequels. The scene where a chimp brings Caesar a tea-strainer instead of a weapon is hilarious.

Once again, let's forget small things like plot holes and coherence with previous films and just apreciate this vision of a fascistic future where our brother apes are enslaved, ok?

Way too much speechifying. OK OK yeah yeah, this movie is about the Watts riots, we get it, we get it

Hmmm, like all tripe, this best served hot I guess
