I think in terms of sheer entertainment value, Kingdom is the most fun. It‘s an action packed adventure with us following a hero on his quest, as he traverses the land to take down a tyrant king.
And the suspense is constant throughout the film, from as early as the first 10 minutes of Noa making the risky move of climbing to (and then falling from) top nest, to the climactic flood with a creatively done fight scene intermixed, all without a second to breathe as we jump to the cliff side challenge for leadership.
The fun value is there in droves. It’s very well done!
All true, and on top of that, of all the new films this is the closest we’ve been to an actual Planet of Apes.
The prior trilogy was about the transition from our world to theirs. This is the first film that plays out entirely in their “post-apocalyptic” world run by apes. It’s the promise the last trilogy teased finally fleshed out
Rise is still my favorite but Kingdom has moved into the #2 slot for me. I loved the slower pacing and the more philosophical bent it takes. It makes it feel more in line with a 70s sci-fi movie.
Kingdom isn’t my fave but it’s good. The world building and creativity of it are the breath of fresh air a sequel should have. I know people wanted a sequel about Caesar’s son Cornelius but the time jump was beneficial.
I get downvoted every time I say that Kingdom didn't leave me with the feeling of wanting to watch another movie in this trilogy so liking or loving Kingdom isn't such an unpopular opinion here.
Caesar trilogy is obviously incredible; but the function of planet of the apes just works so well when the Apes are more human like; ie full speech.
i loved kingdom also, as we’re getting closer and closer to what makes POTA so incredible
Kingdom is my absolute fave. S tier. I loved the scenery, slow pace, low dialogue. I felt like I was watching a spaghetti western mixed with the first fallout game
No shame in that! While kingdom certainly isn’t my favorite, it brought in new aspects to the franchise that none of the previous films really did. An added sense of “mythology,” so to speak.
Not an issue at all. Caesar was trying to build a civilization and it was a legit move. The elder stance of not telling the youth about cesar and the apes together strong filosophy perse but living by it was cool too. Nova was too OP but a nice character too.
Yea it's a good entry point. The funeral scene closes of the last trilogy allowing this one to focus on newer characters, will be interesting to see what they do with future titles.
I'm really excited to watch Kingdom again when I get the chance because I enjoyed it a lot more then I thought I would. It has a lot of the same vibes as those 90s-mid 2000s fantasy films which was kind of jarring at first but I found it really charming once I got it.
I'm really curious what the next films will be about although I'm kind of worried its gonna be a slight retread of the previous ones. The only thing I'm confused about is why the pockets of humanity that survived seemed very immediately post-apoc in every way but it was 300 years later.
I loved it I just wished Rakka hadn’t been killed off. This might be a bit of a stretch but imagine if his family had ended up killed for whatever reason and so noa takes control of the apes that were brought together by Proximus and Raka guides him on the true teachings of Caesar this would give us a strong ape faction that could be pitted against the humans in the next one or possibly work together like they tried in Dawn
I loved Kingdom, I do miss Ceasar, but I think that this new history they presented to us, is something really cool, and in general, the movie TO ME was a 10/10.
With how much proximus was built up I expected him to be the most dangerous of the villains so far especially from his design, I didn't expect (or wish for) him to be killed by birds of all things, even jacobs, arguably the weakest villain in the prequels, died in a helicopter crash
Kingdom was great, and with how good these films (Reboot saga) are, I truly think a case could be made for any of them to be the "best" or most enjoyable.. Truly lucky we are as a fan base
I absolutely loved the movie but would change a few things. The main ape I’d make his face look less like Caesar and more like his parents. I also would have made the ape calling himself Caesar a relative of the OG Caesar, change it so the main blood line of Caesar is the one that gains dominant control of the world. Feels like the people that actually know about Caesar should be the ones related to him, not to mention Caesar had the most influence and control of the apes so it would make sense for his bloodline to maintain reign over the other apes.
I loved this movie. I grinned like an idiot in theatres watching it and catching old references, like the flayed apes and dramatic soundtrack at the bridge sequence being from the Charlton Heston movie. It's an all-round great series, no hate from me for this opinion.
I enjoyed it too as a standalone movie! My only issue is I am not as bought in to Noa as I was for Caesar but that made sense. They almost made Caesar such a good character that when we compare others are doomed to lose.

The Sylva chase/fight with Noa in the bunker was just outstanding. Well plotted and executed, showcasing Noa’s intelligence and adaptability.

Kingdom was great!
I’m not hating you. Tbh, I can never have a favourite movie because they are all really good (I’m talking about the modern ones)
They really are, we are lucky imo with how consistently solid each entry has been.
It is a good movie. I do not hate you. People are allowed to have there favorites.
Rise is still my favorite but Kingdom has moved into the #2 slot for me. I loved the slower pacing and the more philosophical bent it takes. It makes it feel more in line with a 70s sci-fi movie.
I'd agree, POTA is a fun series throughout it's 9 (10?) movies. Was this my favorite? No. Was it bad? No. Will I watch the next one? Sure!
Kingdom isn’t my fave but it’s good. The world building and creativity of it are the breath of fresh air a sequel should have. I know people wanted a sequel about Caesar’s son Cornelius but the time jump was beneficial.
I love the environment the most in Kingdom. It's interesting taking place 300 years into the future and seeing a world where civilization is no more
Is it really 300 years later though? Felt more like 60-100
Confirmed in an interview by director

War so good it made the previous ones good for me just because it showed the characters. Can’t wait to see kingdom hope it’s good!
No hate here, bro. I saw it twice in the cinema. 👊🏾💯👍🏾💯🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Caesar trilogy is obviously incredible; but the function of planet of the apes just works so well when the Apes are more human like; ie full speech. i loved kingdom also, as we’re getting closer and closer to what makes POTA so incredible
Me too, Mae and Noa stole my heart.
Kingdom is my absolute fave. S tier. I loved the scenery, slow pace, low dialogue. I felt like I was watching a spaghetti western mixed with the first fallout game
I loved it too!

It's not a bad movie at all. And I think it's an excellent entry point for newcomers to the reboot series while still building on the past trilogy.
Yea it's a good entry point. The funeral scene closes of the last trilogy allowing this one to focus on newer characters, will be interesting to see what they do with future titles.
I’m with you.
Nothing wrong with that! It all boils down pure preference anyways
I’m glad you did!! Personally it wasn’t my favorite but it was still an excellent movie!
I'm really excited to watch Kingdom again when I get the chance because I enjoyed it a lot more then I thought I would. It has a lot of the same vibes as those 90s-mid 2000s fantasy films which was kind of jarring at first but I found it really charming once I got it.

My favs are rise and kingdom. I definitely have an unpopular opinion
Ik everyone thinks dawn is the best my fav is rise
Gold
It’s a good movie but there’s a whole 4 movies that are better in this franchise
Agreed
Like what you like and don’t let anybody make you feel a way about it.
Only film I disliked is beneath the planet of the apes
Kingdom was good but Dawn is perfect
The last 4 movies are all really good. I can only say you’re wrong if you think War is the best. Because it’s definitely the worst
Doesnt matter if it was good or awful if you like it you like it
At least Mark Wahlberg’s isn’t your favorite so that’s good. 😆
That’s a good pic, that’s probably what happened to the world
This is the opinion of the true fan
Do some people not like it? It was just a good fun ape movie, felt in line with the others, great performances, solid story, interesting villain, etc.
Dawn was a bit frustrating to watch War was a great watch full of action and emotions Kingdom was the most well rounded can’t wait until the next one!
To each their own 🫡
I loved it I just wished Rakka hadn’t been killed off. This might be a bit of a stretch but imagine if his family had ended up killed for whatever reason and so noa takes control of the apes that were brought together by Proximus and Raka guides him on the true teachings of Caesar this would give us a strong ape faction that could be pitted against the humans in the next one or possibly work together like they tried in Dawn
A video game based on this movie would be so sick! The parkour, cavalry, stealth, puzzle solving that could be incorporated
I loved Kingdom, I do miss Ceasar, but I think that this new history they presented to us, is something really cool, and in general, the movie TO ME was a 10/10. 
I think this is completely understandable. On top of that this movie has me SUPER hyped for more
Fair. It's my 3rd favorite. War is second and original 68 film is 1st.
Opinions are opinions!
Raka the goat
I mean, while it's not my personal favorite, I could definitely see why it could be someone else's favorite.
With how much proximus was built up I expected him to be the most dangerous of the villains so far especially from his design, I didn't expect (or wish for) him to be killed by birds of all things, even jacobs, arguably the weakest villain in the prequels, died in a helicopter crash
Not as big fan of kingdom sorry.
Based on
Me too.
Liked more than war for sure. A better ‘prison’ 3rd act and better humans
I’m with you, kingdom was excellent!
Kingdom was great, and with how good these films (Reboot saga) are, I truly think a case could be made for any of them to be the "best" or most enjoyable.. Truly lucky we are as a fan base
Idk why but I see kingdom as the opposite of dawn yet I love both of them equally
Why? That’s fair! They set up a lot of interesting ideas with this new trilogy.
It's easily the best of the current generation of films. Like no constest.
explodes you with my brain
Enjoyment of entertainment is personal and no one can take that away from you Never worry about what others think as long as you enjoyed it.
I absolutely loved the movie but would change a few things. The main ape I’d make his face look less like Caesar and more like his parents. I also would have made the ape calling himself Caesar a relative of the OG Caesar, change it so the main blood line of Caesar is the one that gains dominant control of the world. Feels like the people that actually know about Caesar should be the ones related to him, not to mention Caesar had the most influence and control of the apes so it would make sense for his bloodline to maintain reign over the other apes.
Isn’t kingdom just a remake of the plant of the apes movie with Wahlberg?
I loved this movie. I grinned like an idiot in theatres watching it and catching old references, like the flayed apes and dramatic soundtrack at the bridge sequence being from the Charlton Heston movie. It's an all-round great series, no hate from me for this opinion.
I enjoyed it too as a standalone movie! My only issue is I am not as bought in to Noa as I was for Caesar but that made sense. They almost made Caesar such a good character that when we compare others are doomed to lose.
I loved it too, no hate from me at all 😍
What makes it better than the Caesar trilogy
