May 10, 20241 yr any surly opinions on this one yet? i hate the title. 83% on RT but i feel like that can't be trusted anymore.
May 10, 20241 yr The previous 2 were both good but its no longer Matt Reeves so this will probably be as good as the James Franco one which wasn't bad

High critic + High audience = must see High critic + Low audience = don't see, will probably win awards Low critic + High audience = probably a solid comedy Low critic + Low audience = my wife's favorite movie

May 10, 20241 yr RT audience score can be useful for certain movies that have a high self-selection audience. An example is the latest Guy Ritchie flick. People who go to see a Guy Ritchie film are generally fans who want to see a Guy Ritchie movie and all that entails. A high audience score tells you it hit the mark regardless of how the critics view the film. I've always been a disciple of the Ebert school of review. it . I will watch anything from The Room to The Godfather and can enjoy it all with the right frame of mind. The critic and audience score combo will generally tell you what to expect as laid out by @Chuckie Finster, but I'd have different definitions. High critic + High audience = well made, enjoyable on multiple levels. You might not like film if you don't like this. High critic + Low audience = niche subject or plot, outside the realm of the vox populi. Possibly outstanding. Possibly horrendous. Low critic + High audience = self-selecting audience who got what they were looking for and maker who couldn't care less about prestige. If you're one of the self-selecting, you'll love it. If not, you just don't get it, man. Low critic + Low audience = Razzie nominee, possibly worth watching on an edible night.
May 11, 20241 yr Author it was okay. lagged in the middle, i got drowsy lol. more exposition than action but the narrative didn't actually take you anywhere that interesting, there was no real climax or explanation of anything. Caesar was missed. CGI was outstanding, but at a certain point you're just watching a cartoon.

I liked the first two of this reboot series (the James Franco one and the Keri Russell one) but I run into problems with the CGI taking me out of them. But I have the same issues with the Marvel movies and most current Hollywood blockbusters...the cgi just looks like cheap cartoons. I don't think I saw the most recent one before this one.

Glad to see in theatres, doubt I'll watch it again type. Filming and scenes were great, story wasn't bad, just not overly engaging. Looking ahead I feel like the next one will be better without knowing much about it. Edited May 13, 20241 yr by MonkeyDoughnut

August 3, 20241 yr This dropped on Hulu this week. Solid entry to the Ape franchise. I'd like to see where they go after this. Don't know if they will get the opportunity.

Don't know if they will get the opportunity. This one is supposed to be the first of a new trilogy. Successful franchise still making a boatload of money? I don't think you need to worry about more being pumped out.

August 4, 20241 yr CGI-wise my old ass eyeballs haven't been able to discern any advancements since Terminator 2
