DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (2014) MOVIE REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING - REVIEW
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 мар 2024
- Welcome to my first-time watching as we react to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014). Dawn of the Planet of the Apes exceeded my expectations for what was ahead after watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Everything from the breathtaking visuals, compelling storytelling, and the evolution of Caesar and his fellow apes was done better than I could've hoped for!
Directed by Matt Reeves, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" continues the saga of Caesar as he navigates the tensions between humans and apes in a post-apocalyptic world. I absolutely loved how they delved into the themes and questions the first movie posed and were able to elaborate and develop these themes into a narrative that keeps the audience at the edge of their seats.
The film does a tremendous job at navigating the themes of survival, loyalty, and conflict. All of this would not work if it wasn't for the incredible performance by Andy Serkis as Caesar and Toby Kebbell's Koba. The two of them do an excellent job at delivering so much emotion and breathing life into these characters. Combine that with the stunning cinematography, and poignant storytelling and you have yourself a solid film that has so much to offer and has solidified this trilogy as one of my favorites in recent years.
We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and discussions as we delve into the film's themes, how it goes beyond your standard blockbuster and how the depth in it's storytelling is what ultimately makes this film be a standout!

no thank you so much!!
yes this movie is a decade old..
the first original of this series franchise started as a tv series and several movies in the 70-80 era..
2000 version or 1999 version, im sure which year but it featured: the late great michael clark duncan(from the green mile and the movies with ben afleck aka daredevil, michael played the infamous "king pin" yes marvel studios branded that character and elektra as well) michael played a general ape in that movie..
the villain anti hero was played by the same actor who plays the villain the move "the incredible hulk" aka abomination.
I love your T-shirt Denise. It would be cool to see you guys do gaming content and comment on the cinematography of some great games like the Last of Us. Thee way you guys talk about movies is great and not enough people talk about the movie side of games. and there are some bangers. Hideo Kojimas MGS series, and Death Stranding. Halo started making some epic cutscenes. Uncharted, GTA is cinematic as all heck, and may more besides. In fact a great mix between the two might be great game movies. would love to see you guys react to something like Final Fantasy Advent Children/Advent Children Complete, or Final Fantasy Kingsglaive, The first Silent Hill movie, etc.
Sh!t at this point i would watch you guys lets play or just straight up react to commercials. your insight into how stuff is written and directed etc, is such a nice change form the ''oooh, and aaah'' reacts that a lot of others do
@D0S81 that is en excellent idea! Some of those titles and more now offer an experience that is on par with cinema. With strong narrative, motion captured performances and full on blocked and acted out scenes. Thank you for showing some love! It means so much to us that you guys are enjoying the commentary. Thanks for being awesome ❤️
@jebVlogs556 We are still not ready to be reminded of “The Green Mile” 😔 Ah yes! Tim Roth! Another excellent actor. We love seeing his work. Remember watching those back in the day!
@@OfficialMediaKnights that's him Tim Roth a very well known actor(for the life of me I couldn't think of his name but only some the characters he played as) hopefully you'll get yo see,Denise too and myself and others included a backstory movie first on "general ross" the father to betty ross. Cause in the marvel universe he becomes "red hulk", however I rather a guy being younger play him(like the actor who played the dad in the series "stranger things" aka Harper. He's be the perfect age and height too as red bull or at least be play as captain Britain(or Dr Samson) the actor who played the robust " group of winter soliders" in avenger civil war..idk I'm done talking lol ..
And the green mile, 😭😢😭😟😞😔 yeah miss Michael Clark Duncan
Koba is fucking terrifying, but man what a character.
Facts
One of the greatest villains of all time!
A seriously underrated villain that not enough people bring up. He was pure evil but you can perfectly understand why. Humans only ever inflicted pain and fear unto Koba whereas humans raised Caesar with love and kindness. Koba was treated as a lab experiment and pet but Caesar was treated like a son and part of the family.
Koba and Caesar are just two sides of the same coin. Either one could've been just as good or evil as the other if they had been raised in different circumstances. Amazing character.
@@Karlach_Ceasar eveb says as much in War, when he says he is Koba.
to add even yet more nuance to Koba's character- he's not a chimpanzee like the rest of them, but a bonobo; a species that has almost zero internal violence.
The horror he went through to turn a purely nonviolent creature into what he became must be beyond justifiable to such a naturally peaceful being.
I love the loyalty of Rocket and Maurice. Unlike so many of the apes, they were there from the start. They understood where he came from, what he went through, and how much he has truly done for apes.
I mean Rocket did start out as a bully, but only because he was just a wild animal who didn't know any better. Caesar granting him intelligence helped him realize what Caesar was doing for him and apekind.
Honestly I wish Koba and Rocket had more interactions with how they're such perfect foils. Rocket was Caesar's enemy who turned into his most loyal friend, and Koba was Caesar's friend who became his worst enemy.
I think that is why they were so pissed off because if my memory serves me right Koba still held a grudge against humans for what they did and he noticed Caesar didn't have a grudge so he tried to assassinate him to blame the humans.
And even though some of the apes were there throughout the beginning of Caesar's leadership, they wanted revenge because they seen like: he did everything for us so let's take revenge. And Koba preyed on their loyalty and in a fit of rage and vengeance they didn't read into Koba, they went along with it, they seen as with Koba they can take that revenge.
@@JustAStronzoOnYTKoba was loyal to Caesar and they saw eachother as brothers. Koba would’ve never done that if humans never came back. After Caesar beats up Koba the first time, he sees that as Caesar picking humans over apes and thinks he’s betraying him.
What i love about koba is he hates humans the most, yet is the most human of them all.
Hes the first to use a gun and just straight up murder humans with them. He uses deceit and manipulation on both humans and apes, he plots and wants war, he enjoys bloodshed. He has very little remorse for humans like many humans have for animals. Hes controlled by emotions and allows them to influence him and doesnt think about consequences. The way he moves and holds himself is also very human.
And the sad part is, he wasn't always like that. At the beginning you could feel that Caesar was genuinely his friend. It was only when humans returned that his pent up fear and anger turned into hate: and he allowed that hate to consume him and radicalize him into war.
@@dracodracarys2339if only one person could treat him with kindness and respect, he might change his way.
@@ATBPkahitanovlogs "Koba learned hate from Humans....but nothing else."
I have never thought about it like this. Well said.
Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.
Friedrich W. Nietzsche
Great take!!
Toby Kebel is amazing as Koba. What a fantastic villain
Toby Kebbell did an amazing job! His performance was on par with Andy Serkis and that is saying a lot!
Thank you.
I didn’t know the actor, just looked it up and he seems to have range. I’ve seen rocknrolla and dead man’s shoes. Definitely will keep up with his performances
@@tonygibson5171 I think this role is what put him on my radar. If I’m not mistaken, this was the role that put him on Fox’s radar for Doctor Doom in that god awful Fantastic 4 movie by Josh Trank
@@tonygibson5171 hes also in the first season of Black Mirror. The episode is “The Entire History of You” and he’s fantastic again
Andy Serkis is amazing in these films. He will deo go down in history as one of the pioneer actors of mocap movie acting.
Oh absolutely, he is a master of his profession! Such versatility and emotional range, it's incredible!
I think I read somewhere how Andy is the King of mocap and Toby is the prince ❤
He has done so much for cinema that he is a legend.
I have said this so many times, but the fact that Andy Serkis didnt win or was nominated for 2-3+ Academy awards during his work in LotR trilogy, Planet the apes trilogy and King Kong, is insane.
fu*k the oscar bro all fans appreciate his work and performance and that is enough ❤@@CgGoil
I love that last scene. The Humans fading into the shadow, into darkness, into nothing while the Apes are in the light of the rising sun, of a new day, of a new future. Amazing.
Yes! It’s details like these that make the visual storytelling so damn powerful in these films!
I love your reactions because you always engage with the film. So many reactors are too busy trying to “outsmart” movies with pithy jokes & cut-away edits to memes. I appreciate how much you guys take every movie on its own terms & think about every filmmaking decision. This is a phenomenal series with a rich text and gorgeous visuals. You’re the reactors I want to see engage with these kinds of stories the most. 👏
That means a lot to us. You guys have allowed us to sit down and delve deeper into these. We’re so glad you’ve been enjoying the commentary. Thank you for watching these with us ❤️
Malcolm: "I thought we had a chance."
Caesar: " I did too."
After Caesar says those last words to Malcolm, I began to understand why he was thinking about humans in those 10 years they were hidden. Caesar cares deeply about his family(apes) and wants nothing more than for them to be safe. However, as they were growing/advancing all those years, Caesar continued to think about the humans especially Will Rodman, which is a sign that he misses them. This causes him to wonder about the human's existence and whether or not they would be able to hold peace amongst each other, creating a light of hope. Malcolm also had this hope when he encountered the apes feeling the true nature of Caesar and his compassion towards them.
Imagine Caesar's and Malcolm's hope of both the humans and apes maybe coinciding with one another one day. Lamentably, this idea fades away as they come to the realization that both their responsibilities towards their people and their current actions prevent this from happening. Two really honorably and honest characters who understand that their chance for peace would never come true.
Man, the story of Malcolm and Caesar really breaks my heart
Fun fact! Toby Kebbel who plays Koba also played Kong in Kong Skull Island and Lt. Chapman.
So along with Andy Serkis, both our ape leads have played the most iconic ape in cinematic history!
This film should have gotten a special effects Oscar just for Maurice (the orangutan). He is, like, freakishly realistic. There is nothing about him that looks computerized or fake.
It's gotten amazing how good special effects are. Just compare to the very first king Kong lol. More than a slight improvement 😛
1:01:12 I think it's probably important context to know who that ape is: that guy under the steel debris is Grey, one of Koba's most loyal followers. Blue Eyes was lucky to see the ugly side of Koba early on. Grey, on the other hand, saw it too late, when the leader he admired shows his true colors: and his callousness toward his fellow apes.
I saw this movie multiple times, but I never realized that detail. That’s great! Thank you.
Really emphasizes how far Koba had fallen.
@@themask8221he's also the one who says "Should we tell Caesar about the guns we found?" It seems he also has doubts about Koba, but chose to trust him more than he did Caesar.
havent even watched the vid yet, but you guys are one of the best reaction channels out here
Thank you so so much for your support and for being so kind, it really means the world to us!
That “No” in the first film made me cry the first time I watched it. What a moment. Still gives me shivers
Usually, CGI effects don’t age well, as technology improves. But 10 years later the visuals in this movie still hold up very well. Amazing.
Malcolm: i really thought we had a chance.
Caesar: I did, too.
Man, the story of Malcolm and Caesar really breaks my heart!
This entire trilogy is a microcosm of humanity. Focusing on the two sides, humans and apes, but showing the microcosms within the two sides, at the same time. Race relations, political and religious differences. Every time I watch this trilogy, I am reminded of Carl Sagan's "pale blue dot" speech. So many videos on YT have him speaking these words. And they are definitely worth a watch, for everyone.
"There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."
Well said. It's hitting particularly hard with what's going on in the world today. We need to remember that every side has evil, but not everyone on "the other side" is evil...
Absolutely love the way that storytelling can bring us all together to talk about the deeper more important themes. Out of all modern films I think this trilogy has something to say and the message is loud and clear.
Apes also a metaphor for the oppressed Native Americans
Koba hated humans, but he became like them, became the worst that humanity has to offer.
Also funnily enough there was a debate on twitter whether Bonobos (Koba's species) were apes or monkeys because Caesar said he was "not ape". I knew media comprehension on social media was bad, but that was ridiculous.
Caesar's "You are not ape" is such a tragic moment for the apes' society.
They had an idyllic existence, without any of the bullshit that we've acquired over the millenia since we were at that stage ourselves.
"Ape not kill ape" was the foundational principle upon which their unity was based; the bond that "we're all in this together".
Now, the precedent has been set that being an ape is not the inalienable right of every ape born: Caesar is the arbiter of apehood.
Once you can deny an ape his or her status as an ape, you're on the slippery slope towards nothing being off the table.
I always see it as the tragic moment when the apes began their descent towards what we've become.
Yea, but Koba wasn't ape. I mean, he was biologically an ape, but he no longer represented the ideal standard of what an ape in Ceaser's society should be. Koba broke too many rules of their civilization and embodied the same malevolence and selfishness that lead to the obliteration of human society in this universe. Yes, you value the life of your own species, but when a member has proven to be too dangerous to the rest of the community exceptions must be made. Koba needed to die otherwise the other apes would always be in danger.
And that's why there were Donkeys. If Caesar could just deny apehood to a traitor, how would Koba's followers trust their own lives with him? They didn't want to own up to their mistakes, and defected to the humans' side to save their own skins.
“So I guess this is it…this is how it ends”.
Such an ominous line.
This movie is on Top 10 Greatest Sequels imo! Hail Caesar! 😮💨
Absolutely agreed, what a fantastic follow up to the first one! They did something fantastic with the story!
This is one of my favorite trilogies of all time.
The tragic part is that Koba probably would not have been like that if he hadn't been abused as a lab animal. Not too mention, Koba is not a chimpanzee but a bonobo which in nature have a more calm and peaceful demeanor than chimpanzees. So knowing that, you know that he really had to have been tortured. So as bad as Koba turns out, it's heartbreaking to know that human nature could have created that kind of change in an animals nature.
Can’t stop laughing at Denise’s face whenever Cesar shouts 😂😂😂
This is one of the few movies that successfully pulled off the "both perspectives" thing. We want neither the apes nor humans to suffer.
Ceasar in the beginning wanted to be Ape in the first and in the end of the second he looked more human and now it's how it can be a balance of self and a warrior's path. The eye's never lie.
I like the death of Koba when compared to the death of Will's boss (steve jacobs) on the bridge in the first one.
We see the power hungry person (profit hungry in that case) overstep and ask for the help of the being they tried to kill (Koba) who drops them to their death because they are not worth saving.
Then we see it again when Koba asks for help from Ceasar.
Draws parallels between people/apes who strive for power and in the end their actions come back to haunt them
one of the absolute best sequels to any movie to fucking date. just rewatching this movie shows how Matt reaves put his heart into this movie
This was such an amazing sequel. This had such a great villain and I love Caesar so freaking much. Plus, the CGI was perfect for the apes.
The Maurice that we get in these adaptations, has so much more depth and empathy than the Maurice from the original movie.
The way danice said daddy's angry x2 is halarious 😂
Funny thing at 36:21 in addition to that, Terry Notary, who plays Rocket and Ceaser's mother, also portrayed Kong himself in that movie. And I think Toby Kebbell also assisted with facial expressions for him too. Andy Serkis also portrayed King Kong in the 2005 movie by Peter Jackson!
This is my favorite of the Ape trilogy Koba acts like Scar from Lion King and I like the fight at the end against Caesar.
“Koba weaker” is the best line to me.
This is my fav of the series. It shines such a bright light on humanity and racism. Hating for the sake of hate.
That one dude that shot Rockets kid was so scared and then wants to be so tough after. He's lack of self control is what got the remaining humans in trouble
The name of that dude is Carver and he hates the apes because he blames them for the Simian Flu Pandemic, despite being told and reminded of the fact that it was a virus was created by scientists that were experimenting on the apes.
What I Learned Today:
I DIDN’T realize that Gary Oldman was Sirius Black!😱
he's also Vikor Reznov
But, how?
i remember watching this in theaters and the amount of emotions this film took me through. i nearly cried by the end, and i rarely ever cry watching a film.
The visuals in this film are the best in the series. That opening shot of Cesar gives me chills. There are very few movies with flawless cgi but damnit if this isn’t one of them.
"I'm gonna miss him so much" got me laughing my ass off!
55:56 That Noise She Made 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely love it especially Koba being a villains
Love how ceaser yells Go was awesome and badass
Great reaction you both loving it
Haha that go moment was AMAZING, it gave us chills!! Koba was a fantastic villain - terrifying and highly intelligent! Thanks so much for the support!
@@OfficialMediaKnightssure anytime
I’d put these into some of the finest examples of how good science fiction should be done. The way they force you to see different perspectives, and shove you into thinking outside of your own “side” is fantastic. If you’re feeling conflicted, they’re doing it right. This is something we need more of, the key thing that comes from understanding is empathy.
Such an amazing and underrated movie. I know you didn’t show it in your reaction but I love the scene at the end after Caesar and Malcolm part ways, Malcolm continues to watch Caesar become the leader again as he himself slowly backs out and gets engulfed by shadow and disappears. I love the symbolism there kind of showing man’s time is coming to an end disappearing into the shadows as the Apes become the dominant species.
15:35 What an absolute joy it is to see someone enjoy a masterpiece like that. Reminds you that for all underappreciated films out there, there's still people like Denise reacting to them.
Trivia for you both - the actor who played Koba is from the UK like Andy - he was trained by Andy in MoCap and also played King Kong on Kong: Skull Island - he was also the soldier/pilot on that same film that got eaten first by a skull crawler.
Toby Kebbell is a brilliant actor like Andy, very menacing as Koba.
Edit - I made this comment before finishing your reaction - of course you already know
😁
I like the scene where the apes came to people to show their power, in a sort of peaceful manner, but Koba's badass stare was telling the otherwise lol
"Time goes by fast!" yeah, wait til you have kids!!
This film is one of the best sequels ever made, if not the best!
He's practically perfect. Respects the characters and develops them brilliantly.
Waiting for the reaction to the last chapter that closes everything in a spectacular way!
Alongside other great sequels like Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Aliens, The Godfather: Part II, The Empire Strikes Back, Rocky II, Bride of Frankenstein, and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
not the last chapter anymore, part 4 is coming out!
This movie was important in the sense that Caesar realizes just because someone looks like you does not automatically make them your ally, nor someone different the enemy. We all have the same capacity of good and evil. It is our choices that determine who we are and how others should see us. War becomes inevitable when we forget that.
I know this is not within this universe but Rosa Salazar gave a near Oscar for motion capture worthy performance in Alita Battle Angel, based on a manga. It’s not a perfect film but it’s so darn entertaining. She became a polarizing figure on RUclips and pinned against Captain Marvel as Alita, the movie, doesn’t paint men as sleazy and dumb. Captain Marvel has some of that and I guess she was too assertive for some and it became an agenda and there’s videos about it and the comment sections were ablaze. It was nuts 🔩 The New York Times wrote an article about how she was basically a sex bot. It was insane. You guys should watch and be the judge. A campaign was launched and a plane was hired to fly above the Dolby Theatre during the 92nd Oscars with a banner asking for a sequel. It was a James Cameron project that he passed to Robert Rodriguez because of Avatar.
I was a tour guide when this movie was being filmed and I still remember looking down from the top of the open tour bus at the next lane on Columbus street, which was turned into a set with weathered vehicles and there were two men in motion capture suits and two black SUVs with cameras on cranes. It was cool.
Each chapter gets better even though it doesn't seem like it shouldn't possible. I didn't see this and the next until 2021 while I was bed ridden. And of course regretted not have seen them sooner.
Andy Serkis is a Legend...
-The End
Nuff said
Finally part 2. Was waiting for this. I love planet of the apes movies so much. I'm glad you guys are enjoying 😎❤
Thank you for watching these with us! It truly means the world ❤️😄
Huge fan of the original films. The remakes definitely did them justice and I can't wait to see the new one. This is my favorite of the three. Koba is scary as hell but Caesar is a true leader.
I don't know what's sadder - the tragic end of human civilization, or the fact that the new dominant species of intelligent beings is in no way different from the previous one...
Koba really hit us with the "Look at me, I'm the Captain now"
3:03 i remember this shot of him on that tree in the rain being the only thing i saw in what i thing was like a ten second trailer, and that was all needed to want to see this movie, same as how the first one just showed the side pan closeup of him in his cage for a few seconds, that was all i needed to wanna see it. and now there's a FOURTH plant of the apes film coming out i just saw the trailer for called Kingdom of The Planet of The Apes. i hope this franchise never stops, theyve been so good. i gotta see a time traveller shouting at the statue of liberty!
I love how you guys will also talk about the editing, characters development, lighting, acting, directing. Pretty much cinema photography in general.
I loved how blue eyes looked at Koba after he killed Ash his face conveyed everything that I'm about to say: "what have I done, this can't be the same Coba I grew to admire… How could I have been so blind?"
52:27 if you pause it right there ice I promise you that eight with the gun that he's pointing at himself. He's doing the peace sign or victory sign at this point.
Also, Koba, when he ran through the fire, I got demon vibes coming from him, he is the embodiment of human cruelty and evil. Caesar was the embodiment of kindness and understanding and love.
Koba wasn't always evil. He did care about his fellow apes at the start. But then, his hatred for humans radicalized him to the point of him turning on his fellow apes.
@@dracodracarys2339 true had the humans not revealed themselves to the apes Koba might've stayed the way he was before all that mess.
Andy Serkis always amazing the technology from gollum to Ceasar is crazy the storyline is amazing the emotions of being a leader family
The 3rd movie in this run I got to see 2 weeks early. Was at a convention in Austin and Andy Serkis was there doing a keynote talk about performance capture, and we got to go see an early screening with him there doing a q&a afterwards. Really special moment
This is my fave of the new trilogy. The world building is immense.
Maurice is still my fave. I'd love to sit and read some books with him.
I liked the moral of this movie of how peace is very fragile and can always be broken easily by either side.
Man this one is incredible…the plot slays, the score slays…everything slays. 😭 The final fight between Caesar and Koba is definitely in the top 5 cinematic fights.
Let's just get this out of the way.... Caesar is one of the greatest characters in cinema history. Fight me if you want but it doesn't make it not true. Phenomenal.
Ok... Now KOBA is a GREAT villain. The character building of Koba from the first movie to this one is masterful. And the acting is just as masterful.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@40:00 Denise "Bad Ape"... 😂😆🤣 How's she serving up spoilers for the next film?!?!
Dammit, you beat me to it
This trilogy stands up there with LOTR for me. Wonderful acting, wonderful directing and the emotional pulls are so heavy and so well done.
It's one of those sequels that's better than the first. And I agree.
FYI, Andy Serkis also did the mo-cap of 2005 King Kong remake.
The say Koba gets the apes to fight humans is pretty smart, making them think Caesar was killed by a human and burning their beloved home. And they'll believe they are fighting for their leader who is seemingly dead.
Koba: APES MUST ATTACK HUMAN CITY! FIGHT BACK! COME! FIGHT FOR CAESAR!
You guys are my favorite reaction channel, truthfully.
You guys are always so attentive, invested, and pick up on the little details of the films you watch all the time. Thank you and keep it up!
planet of apes are some of my favourite movies and i’m so glad i discovered you guys!!! i love your videos so much, you’re both so intelligent and well spoken, i enjoy hearing your thoughts :)
Ya, 10 years and I believe I appreciated it more this time around. Very impressive. Thanks.
Can't wait to see your reaction to this. This was so well done. All the actors did such a great job with the motion capture. Andy Serkis is amazing. Toby Kebbell as Koba brings the villain to another level. I'm glad you enjoyed this.
We hope you enjoy! The performances in this are through the roof! Both of those actors injected so much life and personality into their characters.
@@OfficialMediaKnights thanks for inviting me to join your channel as a YT member. You both are exceptional. Fun fact, the chimp vocalizations were recorded at Chimp Haven in my home state of Louisiana, in the Shreveport area. Then the sounds were adjusted in the sound design. Chimp Haven is great sanctuary for rescued chimps.
There are Shakespearean levels of tragedy and humanity here. The damage echoes and re-echoes, repeats over and over.
1:01:58 Actually two ironic things, Koba died becoming no better people who tortured him in the first place and he died the same way he killed Jacobs, pushing someone of the high ground to fall to their deaths.
You know Koba is a good character if you seriously understand where he’s coming from but you hate what he’s doing.
Wow! I forgot what a great film this is. Fantastic performances by Andy Serkis and Toby Kebbell. loved the nuances and seeing both sides of the conflict. Great reactions!
This one is the best of the rebooted trilogy.
The look on your guys faces when Cesar screams GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! 😂
Love you both n your channel ❤. Hope your first few months of the new year have been good for y’all, I’ve been subscribed for about a week or a lil over. Been enjoying your reactions. The movies you react to I grew up on and love heavily. Some of the movies that you’ve watched were part of my childhood and really take me back to the good days. Even love you reacting to the movies from my teen years. And even the newer movies from 2020-now. Y’all are like 1-5yrs older than me, I always love coming across people close to my age on RUclips that I love watching your content.
I have been enjoying your reactions for many months. I just want to say that you both seem really nice.
Dude….🥺 the bit from 46:00 - 46:20 ish is why he should have been the main character, or at the very least he should have gotten far more screen time!
Cause I mean like seriously my dudes, he is just absolutely freaking amazing! It’s actually kinda ridiculous but imo this small scene has more emotional depth and weight than any other human scene in the movie….ffs my dudes…how!?🥹🤷♀️
………oh and btw damn this was a great reaction(as always😉) you guys are freaking awesome!!😅👍
Yesssiiirrrr once I saw Rise of the apes I knew dawn was coming next!
I remember going with a bunch of my buddies to watch this one in theatres and we were hooked the whole time
I’m not sure if it was intentional or not but something I noticed in the scene where Ceasar and Koba have their fight, Koba touches Ceasar’s chest with his pointer finger. Which upsets him and leads to their fight. Similar to how in Rise the neighbor touches Will’s father with his pointer finger when threatening to call the cops on him. In both scenes, Ceasar sees this as a sign of disrespect.
It definitely added fuel to the fire! Didn’t catch that detail when watching so thanks for pointing that out 😉 with the amount of intentional storytelling they deliver just with visuals and hidden details like that I wouldn’t be surprised if that was a callback.
I didn't get to see this in the theater but I heard it was pretty good.
Oh it's a fantastic film, you should definitely give it a go! Incredible performances, rich exploration of themes... It has it all!
33:26 - 33:30 Caesar: "Human... Remembered to tip valet on way out."
this was deffo my fave planet of the apes film, dark, gritty, perfect villian and plot
This is the best of the trilogy in my opinion
This one is definitely up there! The writing, character development and performances are all top notch.
It def' is!
In many great cinema trilogy more often than not the second opus is the best.
StarWars OG, Nolan's Batman, The Godfather, LOTR -controversial-, and the list goes on
As much as I like this movie, my own life events pretty much mirrors Koba one to one. So its always a tough watch for me personally.
Great movie.
Damn, Koba was having a peace until saw human triggered his past and his hatred taking him over.
Vous n'êtes pas prêts pour le troisième opus. Cette trilogie est un chef-d'œuvre !
This trilogy is fantastic! It's a joy to hear your analysis, keep it up!
I watched these over so I could watch your reactions and know the entire movie. Thanks guys❤️💜
So I haven’t finished watching the video, but you guys asked what happened to Will. And apparently Will had died off screen to the Simeon flu (if that’s how it’s spelled).
Man I really enjoy you two reacting! Love these movies! keep on doing amazing work guys!
Thank you for watching these with us! It means a lot to both of us ❤️
I like the first and I like the third but personally this ones my favorite. I really love the development of Rocket and I like seeing Maurice as a teacher... It's cool to see the politics play out between the apes as well
Dark forest theory is a hell of a reference
Probably the best sequel since the dark knight. Andy Serkis was born to play Caesar and Toby Kebbell steals the show. Matt Reeves kicked it to 11 with this!
If you haven’t seen The Batman by Matt Reeves, highly suggest it.
I've only seen 2 10/10 movies in my life. The Shawshank Redemption and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Koba and Carver
To a Hammer, everything looks like a Nail.
