Critic Reviews:
- " These are movies about gorillas who ride horses that feel, at first blush, like kiddie fare. And yet, once you take the step to suspend your disbelief, this is one of the sharpest franchises about the human condition. " – Jordan Hoffman
- " These are characters. They are also animals, and when they are slain, there's a ghastly novelty to it, one that has long ago worn off the spectacle of dying humans. " – Tara Brady
- " Matt Reeves's ‘War for the Planet of the Apes’ is a rare work, in which the power of the ideas matches the skill of the craft. " – Jason Bailey
