Overdose of optimism
For example, Griffin Schiller of https://twitter.com/griffschiller/status/1786244312868831286 He was delighted with the final result, pointing out the following in this regard:
The apes have never been stronger than in Wes Ball’s “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.” The complexities of Caesar’s legacy loom over this odyssey of truth and lies, of knowledge and power. An impressive visual spectacle. A new hope for the ape franchise.
For its part, Kevin Polowy of https://twitter.com/djkevlar/status/1786245571226837078 He thinks it’s phenomenal and compares it to ‘Apocalypto’, the excellent adventure film directed by Mel Gibson:
I loved ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’. Is it as good as Matt Reeves movies? I don’t know, but it’s phenomenal. ‘Apocalypto with apes’, as Wes Ball promised. Exciting and moving. It remains, pound for pound, one of the best, if not THE best franchise active.
Perri Nemiroffof https://twitter.com/PNemiroff/status/1786244293839253561believes that it is confirmation that we are facing one of the best reboots of all time and praises Ball’s work:
It’s still one of the best franchise reboots out there. As expected, there was no better director to take over than Wes Ball. Of course, Wētā’s magicians had a lot to do with it, but there’s also no doubt that Ball’s personal skill with visual effects has greatly contributed to the incredible look of this film.

‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ is a solid continuation of the series. It takes a while to find its footing, but it builds to a captivating second act and a thrilling finale. I can’t wait to see where it goes after an intriguing ending.
Germain Lussierof https://twitter.com/GermainLussier/status/1786244292580626689has problems with the ending, but believes that it is a film that does not detract from the saga:
‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ makes the ape saga proud. A great adventure with wonderful effects and interpretations. It has a LOT to say, which leaves it thematically murky – I don’t like it either. charm the ending – but they are minor complaints for an otherwise enjoyable and engaging film.
Brandon Davisof https://twitter.com/BrandonDavisBD/status/1786248389803262080also took a while to get into the movie, but then he was impressed:
‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ is a classic summer blockbuster. It takes a while to get going, thoroughly introduces the new characters and timeline, and doesn’t look back. The visual effects are amazing. Great performances. It seems like the beginning of a new epic saga. I need the next one as soon as possible.
Russ Milheimof https://twitter.com/RussMilheim/status/1786247407833162196assures that it is a great new installment and praises both the visual effects and its characters:
‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ is a fantastic addition to the saga. Although it sometimes falters in pacing, that doesn’t stop the film from being absolutely exciting. The visuals are amazing and the characters are wonderfully created. I can’t wait to see what comes next.
For my part, I was also able to see it already – I cannot publish the review yet because it is embargoed – and my enthusiasm is somewhat less than that expressed here by those other critics, But I am clear that it is worth taking a look at and that it is better to do so without wanting to compare it with previous installments.
