Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes - Movie Review
Okay, scratch this one off the list lol I fully trust you here.
Oh my lord, I saw this earlier in the week. It was soooo bad, it got to a point where I thought it might have been created by AI and then it was going to be a meta creation. But I don't think so.
Holy shit , horrible movie . Snore fest … we walked out half way through
Thanks for watching and the comment. I get this movie is not for everyone, for many different reasons, but for me personally, I really liked it.
So the same bore, but almost twice longer with couple more concept arts in slow mo?
I just can't help but be sucked into the world that Snyder is creating, visually its compelling. But I get why not everyone will feel the same way.
Yes! I'm so glad you liked it. Fantastic cast, script, and like you said, for this to be Zoe's directorial debut, wow. She knocked it out of the park, I'm definitely interested in what she does next. I loved it, it's one of my top favs of the year so far.
At this very moment, it's in my top 10 of the year. Loved it!
7 Samurai’s + Warhammer + weak story and characters = Rebel Moon
Completely agree.
Could someone please explain when starlight, mm and butcher are in a bar and when starlight gets knocked out by the shapeshifting supe no one seems to notice
Good question, to be honest I just assumed it occurred within a moment afterwards that we didn't witness onscreen.
I think I 100 percent agree! It's very weird, I don't think it all works, but I was always very interested in what was going on and Hunter and Dan were great. I just got out of Blink Twice, so I'm definitely looking forward to your review! My friend and I had VERY different thoughts.
I agree, what Tilman Singer was exploring within its premise didn't quite work or come together for me, but I was always looked in due to how this story was crafted along with the mesmerizing performances. I am going to catch Blink Twice today once I've uploaded my Crow Review, I look forward to checking it out.
While I love the original Alien, Big Chap. I personally find it being found to be incredibly silly and over the top. As you know from the forums, I tend to be a bit too logic minded when it comes to the plausibility XD. The chances of finding a small dark object in the vastness of space is just stupid, and not to mention it was no where near the Nostromo wreckage when it was expelled from the shuttle. (which is where its found in Romulus) Big Chap being alive makes it even worse too as it apparently can survive over 15 years without air or food, which makes it borderline supernatural instead of being a living alien organism. The franchise is supposed to be science-fiction, not fantasy genre. Big Chap's survival actually undermines the accomplishments of Ellen Ripley as well. All that effort to expel it and incinerate it the shuttles thrusters and she apparently didn't kill the Alien.... Worse is that it means she didn't kill the Queen either. A badass fight with a power loader, a tense escape from the air lock, only for Romulus to say it didn't do anything because they could still be found alive.... Its strange but the sequels seem to really like undermining Ripley's efforts. Alien 3 undid her effort of saving Newt, Alien resurrection undid her sacrifice to prevent an organization to get Aliens. Heck even the crossover AVP prequels (granted they not canon) had the Aliens on earth all along. So much for trying to keep them from being brought back to earth or any place they could spread. Ideally Romulus should have had the intro either with the W-Y (or another company) ship going to a different planetoid that also had a signal or cache of eggs, or simply remove the intro all together and just leave how they got the aliens left as a mystery or simply explained mid-way through. The callbacks were unnecessary for sure. The 4th act needed a Xenomorph, not a hybrid. At least that is how I feel. Great video though, keep it up :)
Thank you for watching and the comment, I really appreciate it. Yeah, I completely get where you coming from, with how these stories tend to undermine what Ripley achieved, but for me personally, the inclusion of finding the original Xeno added a sense of real threat/horror to the story, but was cut short. It really solidified the idea of this creature being the "perfect organism"... but then that's also diminished when we get the reveal to its outcome. The movie lacked urgency and threat, i felt having a thread within its story that would attach itself to the Ellen Ripley story would give it this, but then also get why you would see it from the perspective of undermining the characters achievements. Its why I loved the Alien Isolation game/story, its that connection to the events that's already happened, the emotional beats. Though totally get your frustrations. I also completely agree with the new creature during the third act, even though I didn't hate it, i didn't love it either and it should have been a Xeno, especially Scorched. They attempted to give this particular Xeno a distinct character but felt short lived. Thanks again for the kind comments, really appreciate it.
A longer version of that POS god awful worst film ever made? 🤮Sadists rejoice!
I really think that if they did not do the "Stay away from her, you bitch" line, this movie would have been close to a masterpiece. That one line really took me out of the immersive world I was in and made me remember, yeah, this is just another Alien movie.
Yeah, I completely agree. I hate that they recycle classic lines from previous movies, I will never understand it. It takes away from the immersion, and even though with Romulus, there is an attempt at making this line work, it still felt unnecessary.
Haven’t seen it yet, will do next weekend. So I’ll come back to hear yr thoughts
Let me know what you think! 😀
Good review. I agree that the rook thing was not good. It should have been a completely new character. The cgi did not work and it kind of undermines how Ash was supposed to be a spy, his model appearance shouldn't be common. I don't think they would be able to have an actor with prosthetics to look like Ian Holm, there is a law about it due to hollywood doing this to actor in back to the future. I enjoyed this movie but I am not a fan of prequel references, especially black goo which is just a magic mcguffin. The aliens could have used more presence as well.
Thanks for watching and the comment. Yeah, I'm not a massive fan of the connection to Prometheus, but I feel they did it in a way that was clever. Did i need it? Not really, but I felt it was done in a way that wasn't too heavy. Thanks again for the feedback, much appreciated.
I'll be honest, it's one of my least favourite of the year so far. It just didn't do anything for me. But I've seen a lot of people love it, so I definitely think I'm in the minority and I'm happy that everyone who liked it did.
Thanks for watching and the comment. I didn't love the movie, but I loved many aspects of it, especially from a technical perspective. I really enjoyed it, but still had quite a few issues with it.
I really dislike Zach snyders movies. I haven’t seen his highest rated films though. Very little character development, unnatural character behavior, dull dialogue.
I am a massive fan of Snyder as a director and visual storyteller, but for personally, he only truly flies when he's adapting from established material. Man of Steel & Watchmen are not only some of my favorite movies by Snyder, but some of my favorite's of all time.
The one scene in Season 4 that really bothered me is when The Boys let Deep live. Made zero sense to me.
this movie was a heap of crap, fuck Joe rogan for bringing this cunt on.
The wheat had more character development and personality than any of the other cast
This made me laugh... I mean yeah, I wouldn't disagree.
interesting take, but Homelander also had me on pins and needles this season. I mean that ep where he "went home", my goodness
Thanks for watching and the comment. I absolutely agree. That episode is an exception, one of my favourites of the season.
Great review, I love this show. This season wasn’t the best though
😂😂😂 I loved your achievement pop up!
Cool film!! #RebelMoon #RestoreTheSnyderverse
I agree with you 100%, it felt like a combination of elements from the first two Deadpool movies and MCU DNA, which I find less compelling. I enjoyed the movie, but it's certainly my least favourite of the three films. I gave it a 3.5/5 on Letterboxed, so we're on the same page in terms of rating.
Thank you for watching and the comment. Yeah, that MCU DNA is very present, which in ways holds the movie back a little for me, but I still had a lot of fun.
I've been waiting to hear your thoughts on it! I definitely agree, I found it creepy, unsettling, chilling. I think I was scared a couple times. And the performances were great. I plan on seeing it again in a smaller dingy theatre that I think will suit the vibes of it. My favourite Perkins film is The Blackcoat's Daughter, it also co-stars Kiernan Shipka who played Carrie Anne Camera in this. That's the one I've been recommending to people who liked this.
Thank you for watching and the comment. It was definitely an unnerving experience that I really enjoyed. I'm glad you also had the same experience. I think watching this in a smaller, dingy theatre would be perfect for a movie like this. I'll have to add it to my list of movies to watch, I was really impressed with Perkins work on this movie. Thanks for the recommendation. 👍🏻
Great review, I loved this film when I was younger. It still stands up.
Thanks for watching and the comment. Appreciate the feedback. Yeah, I appreciate the movie more now than I ever have.
What a piece of crap! When you walk into a movie theater on a Monday and this movie came out over the weekend and look around and only see about 20 people. Oh no, not another crappy movie and a waste of our time and money. Don't be fooled by some critic reviews. When the numbers come out you will see on money it made after the initial opening.
Thanks for watching the comment. This was a bit of a disappointment for me, but there was still a lot that I really liked about this movie. It was not the strongest out of the 3, but I still really enjoyed it.
I wanted more of a mystery (it seemed very obvious), and I wanted more of a slasher, like X. I was still into the vibe overall, and I agree that Mia Goth's performance was great. But I don't think I'd rewatch it the way I rewatch X.
Great review, I liked this film but didn't think it was as good as the other two.
I watched the movie 2 days ago and loved it. Sound design was brilliant, packs a punch emotionally and good chemistry between the cast, i really liked how the movie felt a little small in scale. Great video 👍
Thank you for watching and the comment. I completely agree, sound design was great, and it's an emotional ride.
I loved this movie. So much feeling and heart for a tense movie.
Good
Your accent is a human story. Bit of Jamaican, bit of Scottish, bit of Welsh. Where is it from?
@@arnoldas-2561 😂 I'm Welsh. Thanks for the comment.
Nice review
@@jordanmccoy1099 Thank you for watching!
hi😀
Hello! 👋🏻
I totally agree with all of this! The first act was by far the strongest. I was really on board at the start, I think it was an interesting concept and set-up. And then it totally lost me. The third act was ridiculous lol it felt like it had 4 endings, it kept going on, and it was so silly. But at the same time, even as it was losing me throughout the third act, I still wanted to know what was going on! I was still intrigued.
Thank you for watching and the comment. I liked the concept, but it just failed to deliver its ideas in a way that was emotionally impactful.
Thank you.Really.Thank you.
Thumbs Up! Definitely a date night type movie, I took my wife to see it. Love the E.T. lunchbox. THUMBS UP!!! later on Jay
I have avoided the trailers, as I want to watch this cold turkey. Knowing nothing about the feature. Thumbs Up
Here are my thoughts on the most recent trailer for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. What did you think? You love or hate it? Are you looking forward to the sequel? Let me know in the comments.
`Straya mate
Thanks for the review. I'd suggest a lil more scripting. Good luck.
Thanks for the feedback and watching, appreciate it.
Is music from the first trailer in the movie?
Thanks for the comment. Are you referring to the song 'Man Who Sold The World'?
@@AshleyThomas88 No. I mean from Teaser Trailer.
To be honest I am not 100% sure if that was actually part of the score or not. Similar sound, but not sure if it was exact piece of the actual score.
I thought Fury Road was overrated!Tom Hardy sucked as Max..bad story overall..Furiosa didn't come across as a warrior princess..but I am going to see the new movie
Thanks for watching and your comment. Once you have seen Furiosa, let me know what you think.
Fury Road was never overrated, it was a surprise hit that no one asked for. The bar was low, that certainly added to the enjoyment of the experience. It was a very simple, straight forward story to give a little depth to the characters that sit behind the wheels of what is essentially a very well done but hugely over the top car chase from start to finish. It was never designed to be anything more than that. That's why it was a box office hit. Good old popcorn flick.
@@MLG85 It was way overrated!The Road Warrior was a far better movie
@@jefferysteen1041 👍 ok
@AshleyThomas88 I just saw it!I liked it more than Fury Road ..it was more like a Robert Rodriguez movie..so many crazy characters!I give it A-
so I somehow stummbled across the new guy on You-Tube. You seem cool . Im not subscribing yet but I left your video a like. If we meet again I think I will subscribe next time.

Thanks for the review. I enjoyed the presentation and had no issues with it. Perhaps it's a cultural thing in regards to the previous comments by Shafiq. I'd probably block him from the channel, it actually draws attention to stuff that would've gone unnoticed by most.
Thanks for watching and the feedback, I really appreciate it.
Easy there, mate. Easy!
I am also noticing that you're coming up with words as you go and because of that there's a lot of *Kinda, sorta, like I said, Like I* which adds to the time your reviews take. I would suggest coming up with a script or at least have a piece of paper laid out in front of you that contains the bullet points you would like to talk about. They'll help direct your review/video and make it more effective. Plus, they need to be edited better. Let's say you're talking about Chris Hemsworth, the video should be shuffling between scenes of you reviewing the film, scenes of Chris Hemsworth being a menace in it. That would help. Once again, your videos need to be shorter and precise in order to attract more audience.
Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching, appreciate it.
For a new channel like yours, short reviews would help. Keep the reviews short and precise. I would suggest making shorts via which you could promote your channel more effectively. Or you could make two versions of the reviews. The audience needs to connect with you in a shorter period of time and 17 minute videos are not going to help achieve that.
Went to see "The Fall Guy", today for my second time for Mother's Day and took my husband for his birthday and we both love it. I am 78 and he is 74. We laughed a lot. Saw things I didn't notice the first time and am anxious to see it again to see other things I missed.
Thanks for sharing! I'm glad you enjoyed the movie, it is a lot of fun!
I'm going to be honest, I hated it 😭 which was a big disappointment after how much I love Saint Maud, Rose Glass's first film. but based on this review and others, I'm definitely in the minority on that. Great review, though!
I don't think it's for everyone. It's a revenge story told through quite an obscure/off beat lens. I've not watched Saint Maud, but it's definitely in my list of movies to watch. Thanks for watching and the kind feedback! Appreciate it!
the idea that journalist van maintain independence in this civil DISREGARDs the idea that it is our dystopian journalism today that creates the civil war environment. these people would be shot before leaving NY.. so lets start there!
