I can confirm that kids love good movies like this.
When i was counselling a summer camp for ages 8-10, we watched 2 movies with the kids at the end of the week. one of them was smurfs or some shit like that and the children just talked and generally didn't care what was happening and didn't really care about the movie, but then the next night we watched Iron Giant, which is a great children's film with interesting and deep story, characters and theme and the kids all were completely engrossed and the movie had their undivided attention.
I was 7 when I saw the first planet of the apes. The movie was old even when I was growing up and I am almost 40 now. Its good science fiction. If your a kid of science you will love the movie.
I came here because it feels like the entire world has forgotten about this triology, seriously why didn't it stick in anybody's mind?
The culture of constantly rehashing long dead franchises has generated a pavlovian response of "in one ear out the other"-style apathy towards any sort of long lost sequel or reboot, even if the material presented is legitimately good such as this trilogy, mad max fury road, suspiria, or blade runner 2049. All now like dust in the wind. This is the cultural consequence of an oversaturated market
I ignored it when it came out and recently saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes and enjoyed it.
@@hawk12983 watch all three, they’re amazing
They're really not that bad. They stay on the cusp of being utterly too ridiculous to believe, but pulling back just enough to suspend disbelief. Great example of taking a whacky theme and making it work.
Because they're forgettable.
Best opening ever
And the ending! "Considering the fact that Plinkett's house is on the edge of a cliff, would it be fair to call the ending of this episode... a mystery?"
I like how their Spoiler Warnings Delay, is based on how much respect for the movie they have. If its a shit movie, they're just like "Spoilers whatever.... no one cares" to a movie like this, where there is a Full Black Screen up for several seconds.
I think they must've thought that at least some people would want to watch that for themselves.
When a movie sucks and they don't think anybody would want to watch it, they just say "Spoilers, I guess, whatever".
DrSmokeTrees then for suicide squad 'oh I mumbled spoilers a few hours ago it's okay'
For one great example of this, check out their intro for the movie Sinister, episode 40.
@Glen tennis Well that's because you instantly assume people want to know 'something as little as possible' from the start.
Sometimes, people just want to be convinced to watch/not watch a movie without being told what the _whole_ story is about; maybe just summary of first act, are the characters interesting, how's the visual, "you would never guess what the great twist (ending) is!", or simply does it have an actor they like giving their best/worst performances.
Personally I have 0 issues with spoilers (because you can make a boring schlock sounds like the greatest thing possible, judging from BotW episodes), but we can convince someone to try/not try something without spoiling everything.
And for things like Amazing Spiderman, it's several seconds after spoiling it they say "oh ye that was a spoiler, but who cares"
The message of the movie is that a few assholes spoil everything for everyone else, and if we could have just killed them off at the beginning we wouldn't have all this trouble. The story of every society throughout history.
Rich Evans gives a powerful performance in this episode. The razorblade-lube speech was quite moving.
I like those jazz piano cues you guys use in these vids
Man these older rlm episodes still has less swearing then Star Trek Picard
FINISH THE TRILOGY YOU HACKS
Jay talked about the third one in the yearly recap for whichever year that movie came out.
They did!
@@MrZarupta 2017
@@MrZarupta Deserved a proper review episode though.
"Would you like some hand sanitizer?"
"Yeah, do you have any?"
"No."
I love little jokes like that.
Grokking what they are doing always makes the most trivial jokes turn into some of the longest lasting and funniest. It's OK. This is a nerd trait, but one I'm not ashamed of.
This joke really hits hard in Corona times.
@@JamesB00n just vodka, self loathing, and red letter media for me in my indoor hell.
"Hey kid, you want a hershey bar?"
Even more relevant now.
I don't think you could put a better group of people in charge of a series of films where apes learn to talk and take over the world.
+Murcia doxial There are very few movies that couldn't be improved by Frank Darabont. Apparently he wrote a script for Indiana Jones 4 that Spielberg called 'the best IJ script since Raiders', but George Lucas tore the thing up and rewrote it. Fuck Lucas.
How could it be the best IJ since Raiders if it had no CGI aliens??
Darabont single-handedly saved that 2014 Godzilla movie
@@samtrevelyan6488 lucas is a visionary fuck you
@@ihatepewdiepiev2419 a visionary fuck indeed
"Would you like some hand sanitizer?" "Yeah do you have any?" "No" These guys can see the future
Is there is a lot of anal play these days
Well yeah didn't you watch the last episode? They went to the future
Saw this with my 14 year old , we were on the edge of our seats . It's Good
would have been better if it was bears instead
2014 was such a good year for movies
Especially summer movies. This one, The Winter Soldier, DoFP, and Edge of Tomorrow (which I haven't seen yet, but I hear is great).
Lol.
Nathan Cardenas 2017 will be the next 2014
Dan Lane But 2016 was already the 2014 of 2017!
@@Fairpoint374 this comment aged about as well as the summer of Cars 3
1:30 Why does Mike's delivery always make me laugh
This is some good fucking dialogue.
I’m watching this episode for the first time and the joke about mike get treats for remembering things FUCKING KILLED ME!! God damn I love these guys, please never stop!!!
God this show is so classy
I agree wholeheartedly with this review.
Would you say you ape-solutely agree with it?
All these puns are unBEARable... .. .... Great review as well.
These puns are bananas
This is a truly great movie. Apes still look fake as fuck tho
@@papamoosey1595 You don't have eyes, then.
I frickin' LOVED this movie.
Hey you fools, can't you just repair that damn VCR? Mr. Plinkett needs it to watch a film for his new review!
Would it be a Plinkett review of Night Court, while force-feeding pizza rolls to a tied-up Markie Post?
The first 5 minutes of this are literally the best things ever
Story? Is that the fucking garbage that gets in the way of the cool action?
Do you like Transformers by any chance?
I've seen a movie with a story once. It was horrible.
Cure4Living Bay! Bay! Bay!
Tom Ebbrell I'd bet money on it.
who needs story when you have explosions
Huh. Wasn't gonna see it. Now I will. Thanks, Red Letter Media!
I always thought they got the names for the first two POTA movies the wrong way round. The first one should have been Dawn, the second one Rise.
When they were trying to fix the dam to get power, I kept waiting for someone to shout "Dam you! Dam you all to HELL!" at the apes. A movie can't be perfect, I guess.
Aww man you left us on a cliffhanger....
no they left us with a mystery
they even said it themselves
***** It was a shit joke about the house being on the side of a cliff. Sorry about that.
Jason R The joke was that the house was on the side of a cliff and he says mystery rather than cliffhanger. Why am I describing a joke that was so obvious?
What have I done with my life...?
Holy crap, they actually threw a dynamic camera shot in there 1:35
Mike getting excited for treats will never stop being funny.
I forgot my glasses when I went to see this movie (not 3D glasses, my actual glasses) so the apes looked super real to me since everything was in a slight soft-focus.
Lmao
For those of you going through the history of half in the bag you should know that, although they were uploaded here around the same time, there was actually a huge gap between this review and the next one. You see, Half in the Bag Episode 75 took twelve years to make.
I often find that I enjoy movies more after watching Half in the Bag and reflecting upon its good and bad aspects. Thank you guys!
I wonder how much of the gravitas was just Andy Serkis being a God damned craftsman
🎵There's a conquest on a rise on a dawn on an escape from a battle on the revenge beneath the hill on the return of the planet of the apes.....🎶
you guys are so much fun...I love how subtlety you mock cinema tropes
This is one of the best years for movies so far. So many good entertaining movies.
This intro was the funniest thing I've seen this year.
One minute Mike is pronouncing chair as chee-ar-ee, and next he's chattin' about the anthropological perspective.
Man, I love this show.
I'm shocked at how few views this has for being 7 years old. 490k. Most of their oldies but goodies have 1-2 million.
this is the closest we get to a matt reeves the batman review
Just bought the trilogy in 4k. This movie still remains a great film!
Great episode
The Thumbnail is so seamless. "Dawn of the Planet of the 22:11"
i love this universe where dvds and blu rays dont exist
They do exist in this universe. That's why Mike and Jay are ripping off Mr. Plinkett in the first place. It's their only job and therefore their only means of making any money.
***** Plinkett dies in Feeding Frenzy and in HITB Jay doesn't exist, their films don't exist, review Plinkett doesn't exist in the HITB universe. However, In HITB they mention the movies they made so that means like the Tommy Westphal universe their movies exist in Mike's head including the Plinkett reviews. It's similar to the Tarintino/Rodriguez universe. If you don't know what that is look it up it My theory will make more sense.
tvfrank57
Review Plinkett does exist in the HITB universe, he's just not around there. Palpy keeps bugging Fake Plinkett asking him when's the next review and Fake Plinkett always responds with "I'm not the guy who does the reviews" so Review Plinkett exists.
StefSarch I don't remember what HITB video it was but Mike mentions one of the Plinkett reviews so it can't exist.
tvfrank57 I rewatched the Prometheus HITB and at the end Mike and Jay aren't really at Plinkett's house they were homeless and took of in a garbage can. So every character in HINTB is in Mike's head.
These movies would be so much better if it was just 2 hours of humans just completely annihilating apes,like an old school buffalo hunt
One of the best episodes
'OH MY GOD YOU WERE THINKING OF LAND OF THE DEAD, I WAS THINKING OF LAND OF THE DEAD'
Story and plot over straight action all the way
Apes was awesome
"What is that, some kind of tube?"
If only I could erase that line from my memory and hear it for the first time again.
Great Simpsons quote!
The best in the 3 films
Good way to start a morning, laughing quite loudly in the Welsh valleys.
I miss the days when RLM didn’t have to bleep out every swear word. Oh, RUclips. What happened to you? You used to be such a fun place. 😕
What bugged me in rise of the planet of the apes was: how did the apes know how to reload weapons? i can see them having understood that squeezing the trigger causes death from a distance. But the how and when to reload part... It could have been a great moment when the apes' weapons suddenly stop firing, causing confusion and panic
That would be to complicated your making it to realistic what's wrong with you and your clever ideas
Eh they've had ten years to figure out how to use guns. I'm sure that was a problem at first, but considering how intelligent they are it probably didn't take them that long to figure it out.
+Einar Grude The apes are really smart, not just "smart for apes" but basically as smart as humans now. Also, something like that would break the flow of the movie.
I never once saw an ape run out of ammo or reload and I'd see hundreds of rounds at a time come out of these fully-auto M16's. Absolutely killed this movie for me, most movies suck at gun physics, but this one was b-movie levels.
lostinthemasses: It kills the movie for you that you have to have everything spoon fed? You're probably one of those persons who believe the apes had infinite amount of bullets despite of us actually seeing apes carrying bullet belts around their bodies and despite that most of the apes did not carry guns, but spears. It's not a films fault that you need everything (gun related) spoon fed to you.
Gun physics...You are a loony.
Do these guys have a podcast? It would seem like they would make a good podcast
5years later... I mean the bunny ears podcast.
"what's a podcast"
Dastan Alibekov what’s a podcast?
Only William Shatner has been able to find their podcast, but he refuses to go on it.
Damn you guys produce great reviews.
Nice watching this ep again
this set is the best
Jar Jar is the key to all of this. If we can get Jar Jar working...
A surprise to be sure at the end with the Bob Dole Simpsons Halloween special quote
you guys are more Tim and Eric-y than Tim and Eric. great job!
Jay hit the nail on the head when he noted that there were opportunities for the movie to screw up and, luckily, it didn't. I had low expectations for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. I thought the series would follow in the tradition of Fast & Furious, Pirate of the Caribbeans, the Expendables, Transformers, Die Hard, and other action movies by getting progressively worse with each movie. After seeing the movie, I was shocked at how well-executed it was. There were some minor blips--like how it took the humans TWO MOVIES to call the army after they are attacked by these primates--but I'm still satisfied.
Fantastic film.
Missed opportunity by not calling him "Kopa Banana", you HACKFRAUDS.
I really want to see them do a retrospective on George Romero now.
There's been alot of great blockbusters this year. Guardians, dawn, x-men, captain America, edge of tomorrow, dragon 2, 22 jump street
I laughed so hard at the beginning of the episode my neighbor came over to check if I was okay.
I love this show!!!
This is the best intro of all
The past few intros to half in the bag have really cracked me up
This is still the best one to me.
Who else can't wait for the sequel coming out next summer: Dawn of the Rise of the Planet of Apes Returns the Winter Soldier Age of the Battle of the Five Armies Begins? I know I can't!
Are you on acid?
I feel Ceasar should die at the end of the next movie, if this is gonna be a trilogy it shoud follow him from birth to death.
Neckbeard level5000 did you read the script too ?
Part 2
"James Franco ruins everything"
And in the movie, too
oh mike you totally got me at the end there
Apes on horses with machine guns fighting humans can only be topped by Ninja Horse
It's only 7 years late, but man if this movie came out today it would still look great.
Even Rise would, because they put in effort nobody makes these days to use the visual effects in effective ways. This trilogy really stands above the mountain of blurry soundstage mush we're always being fed.
Brilliant film.
2:55 Me everytime I go outside in 2021
The Tim burton one was definitely not 2003. I graduated high school in 2002 and I watched that horrible shit in middle school.
Half In The Bag Theme Loop
...I'm so sorry about this.
Wait... is he serious when he says the apes looked fake? The same guy who wasn't sure if the bear in The Revenant was real or not? The apes in this movie were some of the best special effects I've ever seen. They looked hella fake in the first movie, but they were incredible in this one!
He says they looked fake a couple times, then never mentions it again. I was literally asking if he was serious. You can't tell with these guys.
I haven't fully watched the video, but since this is RLM, and he is Mike, I'm gonna assume he was joking...
17:43
Bear rape is very real to Mike
altoidyoda maybe YOU can't tell
I don't know if they read the comments (can't blame them if they don't, RUclips is toxic), but I really really hope they review Snowpiercer. That movie is so fascinating, and more people should hear about it.
These reviews are always detailed, insightful, and entertaining, as are the Plinkett bookends. I do have to ask: Are you people doing some kind of bizarre SEO-type monetization of profanity? After a point it's just brown noise.
this episode was savage AF
man these guys destroy so much shit :D)))))
Well, R.I.P Mr. Romero....
Speaking of ham-fisted movies... has anyone watched Snowpiercer? It's great.
Agreed completely with this review - One of more of the intelligent films of the year, despite some Avatar parallels. I always agree with these guys. I think Jay's mother and mine shared the same milkman.
love it
I realize I'm about 8 years too late with this, but... the character name you gents are having trouble with is "Koba," the bad guy (or bad ape). It was a name Joseph Stalin (or, at the time, Joseph Jughashvili) adopted while a student at seminary; he was studying to become an Orthodox priest but he then started to get involved in revolutionary activity. The name was from a character in a novel that Stalin liked. If you are naming a character in a movie after Joseph Stalin odds are he isn't a good guy (or ape).
Was it me or did a lot of the sets in this movie remind anyone else of The Last of Us?
those first 15 seconds broke my sides
This is the only movie that I went to go see twice in a movie theater
2:55, 'course you don't have. It's still 2014. See you in 2020-2021
You guys are my Ebert & Roeper.

I like how people hate everything but the reviews, when I think the plinkett stuff is much funnier and better than the review. Both together are great.
wow at 13:00 its like ''Woah dude,we should be best friends or someting,maybe even go into business together,open something like a vcr repair store''
“It’s an art house!! AN ART HOUSE!!”
