i aint spinning nothing. if i somehow like it i'll like it, but gad is a wasteman so it would be a steep uphill climb.
on that note with Reeves I rewatched the Apes movies again recently and holy crap Dawn is so damn good. best blockbuster from 09-14 for me easy. there's a real strong sense of ambiguity as to who you're supposed to be rooting for here. how is a mocapped monkey more emotionally compelling than most protagonists we get today? HOW SWAY?!
dudes if War of the Apes is anything like this, and if Batman then continues the man's streak even further...we are blessed.

I love Dawn as much as the next man but the human side of that movie is boring and unengaging as fuck. It's says a lot that I remember the apes' names over any human characters.

the humans seem like they're basically a way to anchor the audience and relate to the story and conflict in each film.
i disagree with you in that they're boring. though clearly the apes are getting the development and consistency over the trilogy. human characters in this series come and go. the antagonist in the new one coming up is simply named the Colonel for example.
gary oldman surprised me quite a bit in the last one since I went in expecting some evil dictator going by the trailers, and yet I ended up sympathising with him and understanding his actions. he just gets one little scene of emotional vulnerability and the movie does enough with that. i don't remember any of the humans names in the movies toov but i don't think that makes a statement on how effective their role was in the film either.
i remember being pretty meh on rise, and dawn i liked quite a bit when i saw it but i had my complaints. they're aging so well though. especially this one which i have had a stronger opinion of rewatching it a few times since theaters.

So I went to see WW again, and it was in a theater that assigns seats. The theater was half full, which is okay, except that for some reason I happened to be the only person who sat on the L row.

mine was half full. but it was a thursday night. and all of row L was packed too.
didn't even get a justice league trailer though which was wack, or even spiderman. got some piece of crap called geostorm and also Dunkirk which at least was a damn good one.

James Franco for Penguin
The trailer for War looks amazing.
Probably the best CGI I've seen in a long time.

Yes I literally did. The girl who sold me the ticker recommended me that seat, and I just agreed without thinking ; - ; Ended up in the L row alone lmao
This is a nice quote. I sort of feel the same, but I feel a lot of popular media handles this very well. Movies like Fantastic Beasts and Finding Dory are cheesy as hell yet they're all the better for it.Patty on "Cheesyness"
I think cheesy/hammy get a bad rep and glad she feels the same

I'd give anything to see a genuine Disco breakdown. like josh gad penguin and michael cera riddler are the villains of Reeves batman.

I would rather have him cast Andy Serkis and do a CG villain.
My even be more epic then that dude who didn't like BvS but attacked anybody who didn't like it on here. That was epic. I wonder what happened to him.

Casting meltdowns are a great sign at this point. Gadot being the latest example.
Sarcasm? I think it's almost eerily on point. lol

I still maintain to this day that was not my fault
Anybody who posted a positive impression after screenings are at fault for how bad it became tbh.
I actually remember some comparing it to Rises and saying it was DC's best film since TDK.
