Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (July 11, 2014)

This is someone off-set by the fact that this movie allowed me to seriously utter the phrases "monkey coup d'etat"

Spoiler: show

If you go look at the soundtrack, the title for what's playing that moment is in fact "Monkey See, Monkey Coup"

[Deftscythe]

That is amazing.

[Odesseiron]

Wasn't bad. I still have a hard time suspending my disbelief with some scenes.

A single ape takes down a tank with 3 people in it and a top mounted machine gun? Gtfo. This is someone off-set by the fact that this movie allowed me to seriously utter the phrases "monkey coup d'etat" and "roaming monkey death squads."

I'm with you on this..

When war finally happens, you're telling me a bunch of apes that have never seen a gun, let alone fired one are picking off targets? on horseback? Versus humans that have practice? Get the fuck out of here. I enjoyed the movie immensely and it seemed longer than it was (not in a bad way) but that shit made me lol. Where does the series go from here? Way into the future? The first movie showed the rocket taking off into space. So there's the possibility of that? Maybe 2 factions in the future. Ones who believe in Caesar, and the other group doesn't.

Also; apes would ahve to have been directly exposed to the virus to get like that. (like in part one where they were gassed, or have offspring with one that has). So even if one in 500 humans survived, the virus is dead and people can still have kids. The apes are only in that one portion of the US. It's not like they can take over the entire globe.) And still a ton of humans left.

I thought it dragged on too long and was ok overall.

I hated how the kept bringing trigger-happy dumbass along when he could single-handedly start a war at any time.

Yeah that part was annoying to me too. Maybe close the hatch on the top so the monkeys have no possible way of stopping the tank...

[Titanss]

...lol

[Qalbert]

you know the nice thing about having a button that automatically puts tags in is that it doesn't fuck up the tags

[Jaybar]

I find it entirely ironic that the vast amount of comments in here are "How can apes...." when the premise of the movie(s) is "They aren't just apes"

But I get it, don't get me wrong

Spoiler: show

Do they ever reload? lol

[Tyrath]

Saw it. Really enjoyed it. Let the little things everyone is complaining about go because it's a movie about apes fighting humans.

[Moss]

it was less "how can apes..." and more about why the humans were being stupid

Humans are pretty stupid
