I’ve seen glaciers move faster than Writer/Director Matt
Reeves misnamed War for the Planet of the Apes; misnamed because it’s actually
more of a revenge gang fight than a war until the last few minutes of a movie
that Editors William Hoy and Stan Salfas should have cut by at least an
hour.
I could not keep thinking…and there is a lot of time to
think while watching this snail-paced adventure…that so much money went into
creating truly amazing ape-characters and they were wasted on this tepid story,
when they and their creators deserved something far more grand.
What’s more, Composer Michael Giacchino almost outdid
himself with a sound track arguably worse than last week’s Spider-Man: Homecoming
soundtrack. Unbelievable.
It’s not that this is a bad film, it’s just a sad
experience that should have been so much better. I give War for the Planet of the Apes a 3.1
out of 5.
