This was unfortunately a bit of a letdown for me. It feels like after killing Koba in the second film, they were left without much of a concrete idea of what the third should be, so we get Woody Harrelson giving an awkwardly long monologue to try to sell him as a worthy final adversary that the whole trilogy was leading up to, and it just doesn't get there. Love the guy, but this role just didn't do him any favors.

I enjoyed this series a lot. I think I am in the minority in that I liked the first movie the most, but I liked them all. As far as your thoughts at the end. Comparing Caesar to Rick Grimes. Wow coming from you that is as high praise as you can get. I love it. I loved Caesar.

Of the three films, I'd say this was the one I liked the best, largely because of Andy Serkis' performance as Caesar in this film was, I felt, his best of the three films. I'm not as familiar with Rick Grimes as you are, but from the knowledge I do possess, I'd say it's a fair comparison. I loved Woody Harrelson's performance as Colonel McCullough. All in all, I'm glad I saw these films. Though I would not go so far as to say I enjoyed them as much as you did, I certainly did enjoy seeing them for the first time with you and sharing the journey with you.

I've really enjoyed these movies, and I probably wouldn't have watched them without your reactions to encourage me to do so. I enjoyed the third one slightly less, only because it felt slow. Not that I would have cut anything as such but there were a lot of scenes of ape dialogue where... they... spoke... like.... this. Ironically the ape who learnt to speak on his own had the fastest delivery. That's obviously a minor nit though. It was funny watching the ending because as they started the shot where Caesar and Maurice look out over the valley I immediately thought of Moses not entering the promised land, and I thought "I wonder if they'll do that". And they did. And the more I thought about it the more it fits. Moses was a leader who led his people out of captivity but was unable to enter the promised land because of his sin (which was an act of anger). Caesar also led the apes out of captivity into a promised land that he got to see but not go into, and whilst I don't blame him for how he acted, the movie definitely shows us someone who maybe doesn't think he's quite worthy to be the one to lead them in this new world. Are they ever going to make more movies? If they do it's going to be interesting because in order to set up the world that exists in the original 60s movie we've followed the journey of the apes. So we naturally have more sympathy for them and humans are, as a whole, bad or at least negligent. But once the apes have inherited the planet and humans become "dumb animals" (literally dumb) then it'll be hard not to shift the focus. Obviously in the original there were apes who wanted to treat humans well and those who were more exploitative and belligerent but the pov character was human. Oh, I was disappointed in the crossbow guy. Caesar let him go and I was expecting a final turn where he would support him.
