That scene where Caesar says “NO” still gives me chills.

I'll never forget watching this when it was released, and the whole theater going silent when Caesar yelled, "NO!!!" for the first time. Then hearing everyone immediately cheer once he hits Dodge and starts releasing the apes. It was quite the experience. I think this is an underrated and really impactful trilogy. 👏👏👏

It always amazes me that you are able to get a full length movie down to a “KZfaq-friendly” half hour or so video… kudos on the undoubtably arduous editing process 👏🤜🏼🤛🏻

You might have cut it for time or missed it, but I'll never forget the scene of Will's neighbor inadvertently spreading the disease through the flight routes. Especially the credit sequence showing it spread across the globe. It's quite the experience rewatching that scene 9 years later.

Cesar going from being happy in the attic, to feeling like a pet, to realizing he's a prisoner is just so damn compelling! One of my favorites of all time!

This was the epitome of "turning lemons into lemonade." He goes from hitting rock bottom to "I'm gonna take over this whole block, and it'll be like taking candy from a baby." As much as I love Gollum, I think Ceasar might just be Andy Serkis's best performance. He is absolutely phenomenal in these movies. I just watched these about a month ago, and man, they're so good. As far as big budget movies from the 2010s go, I feel like this Apes trilogy gets criminally overlooked and underappreciated for how good they really are.

This was one of the movies I was pleasantly surprised by when it came out. I honestly expected a run of the mill remake cash grab, but it was actually really, really engaging. This film alone made me an advocate for a mo-cap Oscar category if they aren’t going to give proper attention to the acting Serkis and others do.

That first scene with Caesar speaking was filmed so incredibly well, the way the music drove up the tension and it zoomed in low on his face was fantastic

Saw this with my brother and I was amazed on how perfect this movie was! It shows you the true origin of the Planet Of The Apes saga. There's a clever Easter egg in the film where it states that the ship, ICARUS, having launched from Earth on its way to Mars, ends up disappearing without a trace.

Legit one of my favourite trilogies OF ALL TIME. Amazing movies. Sublime characters 🤌 I guarantee by the 2nd movie you'll forget youre even watching CGI characters The fact that they were able to revive a franchise like this which easily couldve been corny or weird, desrves so much respect

One of the best trilogies of recent memory

I genuinely believe that this trilogy is one of the best trilogy in the history of film making. It's really rare to see a trilogy where not only is every entry really good, but they actually get better with each installment.

I have been waiting for you to check this trilogy out! Heck yes. Let's gooo!

I was blown away the first time I saw this. Such a great movie that exceeded my expectations in every regard.

These movies are so good, Truly an unappreciated trilogy, one of the best of our time.

Gotta say that this trilogy really cemented Serkis as the master of mo-cap. By the end I’d forgotten that the apes are cgi.

Sweet! This was an excellent trilogy.. underrated. Some of these rewatches give you a chance to notice clips you may have missed before. Great reaction per usual, fam. You have been tearing up the franchises lately.

I'm loving the trilogies reactions that you're bringing to the channel, keep the good work bro 💯👏

YES DUDE! One of my all time favorite trilogies. These films are so damn good!

I think him doing that last "Ask for permission" is almost like him saying, "Do you believe in me to do this? Can I be free forever? Will you let me go?" But its so simple yet meaningful bc he still looked up to him as a "dad" if you think about it

I watch this movie every day for a summer with my grandpa he loved this movie and loved Caesar. He thought he was the one of the greatest characters he ever saw. He love buck (the gorilla 🦍) and cried when he died

One of the few times in cinema history where a reboot of a franchise is done right! Such an underrated trilogy! Andy Serkis is brilliant as Caesar!

Oh word this is one of my all time favourite trilogies, I’m so hyped to see your thoughts! ESPECIALLY on the Matt Reeves directed ones

This movie is brilliant and Andy Serkis once again shows how underrated he is as an actor with his incredible performance!

The track at the end called 'Ceaser's Home' is actual perfection

the channel has grown so much within the past couple months, glad people are finally finding this gem of a KZfaqr

All these movies are so incredible so glad you’re doing this series your reactions are always on point

Been recommended this film trilogy for ages, glad it's coming up in the reaction scene and a bunch of people are watching them. Damn excited to see your reaction too, James. These are some complex and emotional films, especially when Matt takes over, although I'll admit I have great love for the original. Alltime favorite trilogy.

I expected a huge "Yo" at Caesar's "No" but "shivers" is good, too. That really is an excellent moment. The slow build up, the shock and then the ramp up. When I saw this in the theatre on both occasions (I had to bring another friend to see this movie), you could hear a pin drop at that moment.

Andy Serkis should have won an oscar for his performance as Caesar

omg YESSS these movies are so underrated! Cant wait to see em all with u again!

Some of Andy Serkis' best work! "Caesar is home..." *chills* Shan recently watch Ben Hur! I'd love to get your take on that Heston classic as well as The Ten Commandments (Easter is close) and Soylent Green!

I've been watching your channel for a while, this is by far my favorite reaction you've done. Maybe it was the editing, but I was with you the whole time. And I LOVED your Fargo reactions, but this was seriously well done. Now I have to rewatch this movie.

Caesar is honestly one of the all time great leaders in the history of film

"Take your dam stinking paw off of me you ape" was the same line used by the actor Charleston Heston in the original movie, Planet of the Apes.

Love these movies and the concept. Watched the originals decades ago and loved them then too. Glad you're doing this trilogy. Thx. 👍

I recently discovered that the scene of Caesar yelling "NO" was inspired by a monologue from the original Planet of the Apes trilogy. A monkey named Cornelius explains to humans how apes became the dominant race. He says that the monkeys started to learn from the humans and understood that they were being abused, that's when one of the monkeys received the order from a human and he simply said "No".

For me, these movies get better with each one. Excited to see your videos on this trilogy. The next movie just steps up pretty much everything. You can tell it’s a different director seconds into the next movie.

I've been waiting for to to watch these. 🔥🔥🔥

always so happy to see a new James VS Cinema video!! happy Friday mate

Ohhhhhh yeah. One of the best Hollywood trilogies in years, maybe the best since LOTR, outside Dreamworks. Cannot wait for you to check out the other two; each one is exponentially more hype than the last.

My favourite trilogy by far.

Yesss!!! I love this trilogy! I have to admit your comment about being checked into a mental hospital had me laughing so hard. 🤣🤣 Also the bit about humanity being screwed if we didn’t have intelligence above animals. How true is that. o__o Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction to this!

You’re reacting to all my favorite movies lately!!

Oh hell yeah, been waitin for this

Most people I know, LOVE this movie! It's still underrated 💯

Love this film! I get so hyped when Ceasar stands up and says no!

I've been waiting for this

Awesome movie, and great reaction bro 👍, I'm so anxious to find out what you choose to watch next 😁

Yeah you're doing this !!!! I can't wait for the sequels ^^ !!

I was a huge fan of the original movies...and was honored to be an extra on the Golden Gate Bridge scene...spoiler... It was a giant green screen.

Loved this movie! Wasnt expecting it to be this good!!

DUUUUUUDE You are gonna LOVE the second movie. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is a perfect film. I can’t wait.

In the Original Planet of the Apes, the Apes described the moment Apes took over was when one Ape named Caesar said No.

Two actors who can act with their whole bodies are Andy Serkis and Raoul Trujillo (he played Zero Wolf in Apocalypto and Queequeg in Moby Dick).

Just watched these movies, perfect timing

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

the next movie, the apes are picture perfect and flawless. a masterpiece

I love this movie and this trilogy!

This trilogy is one of my favourites ever. I absolutely love it.

Movie came out of nowhere, and everybody was like "Wow, this is pretty f***ing good."

LFG can’t wait for you to get to War. That was a breathtaking experience in theaters

I grew up on the original films. Bought the box set DVD from the mall. As cheesy as they could be I loved those movies. Went into this series with no expectations other than wanting to see Andy Serkis work. These are now one of the best trilogies ever made. Matt Reeves made some beautiful films with the next two.

Great breakdown

It's time for the reign of Caesar! ------- Want to vote on what I should watch next? Click here! www.patreon.com/jamesvscinema Be safe out there and enjoy the day!

Toby Kebbell did the mocap and voice for Koda in the next two films he also played Kong in the Monsterverse. He was in a great film called Rock n Rolla that is a bit underrated.

The next two movies are even better. Koba turns into one of the greatest villains on screen ever, and Caesar becomes... well, you'll see. Welcome to the Planet of the Apes !

Hell yeah! This trilogy is great.

I believe Caesar is way smarter than Koba, since my boy Caesar was born with the 1.12 and then also breathed in the 1.13 while he was making the rest of his caged apes smart. Plus Caesar unlike the rest recieved an education as well as a loving family. All hail the great Caesar 💚

Thanks for your time and thoughts as always. Great stuff. You should consider watching the orginal 5 POTA movies, especially the first one, they are great films that has a lot to say about a lot of things. As always, stay awesome, stay genuine.. much love

Yes😢😂Thank you I love this trilogy.

this film was done with the utmost care and respect to the original 1968 movie

Yes. Reeves did the sequels, but this one is also stellar. That being said, the sequels are outstanding and deeper than this one.

Lol I did see that! I was an extra on the bridge scene. I have a split second close up with an ape at the car window.

I just watched another Rise of the Planet of Apes reaction a hour ago. I love these movies but I can only watch 2 out of 3 of the movies. I hate seeing animals get hurt.

Was working as a support worker for a guy with dementia when this came out. I guess it made the main (human) characters motivation hit a bit harder. Would love to see your take on “The Father” with Anthony Hopkins. That movie genuinely had me crying in the theater, but the way the set design also tells the story is astonishing. If anyone on the Patreon has seen it, can they get it into the running please?

Andy Serkis studied how apes actually move in order to get it right

Comin up on the 100k mark 😮🎉

Good news man, I might be accepted for a job in the next few days. Hopefully this could mean joining the Patreon community in the not too distant future!

Whats beautifully done well is how they differentiate Caesars life experience compared to basically almost every other ape. For example, those other apes might have been smart, but on the bridge they wouldn’t have known a ambush was waiting for them because they don’t necessarily know how the police operate. With Caesar however, he was raised as a human. Therefor knowing how they operate in certain situations. Its also cool how every ape follows him without question. Those apes at the zoo weren’t necessarily smart because Caesar didn’t use the gas on them but somehow they still followed him because in nature every pack has an alpha, and with Caesars actions and presence they determined that Caesar was the leader which in turn got them to follow him.

This is one of the few trilogies or film series that is great from the 1st film to the last

Starring James Franco as a neuroscientist looking for a cure for alzheimers syndrome. Also featuring Andy Serkis as Caesar who has developed sophisticated intelligence

Sorry I might’ve missed it, but have you seen the other sequels in the past? Or just the first one?

I didn't think I was going to like this trilogy but it really impressed me. I love all 3 films.

I dont know if I'm just some squeezenut or what, but Koba is in my Top 10 villains and maybe even top 5. "Human work" always gives me chills.

Love this series

When will you do FARGO S3?

I loveee this movie

Great channel just curious do you make monetization from youtube off of these videos or do you have to pay the copyright holder ...If you do these shorter clips do you get to stay monetized. Really love this stuff and was just curious towards doing this with say war movies ..

My Friday is SAVED!!!!

Okay...first. Awesome reaction to the opener of one of the most slept-on trilogies. Period. Love your take on all film and this one in particular. Second, I may have missed it but I kept waiting for a mention and didn't catch one - did you ever see the original? The first is classic. The rest...depend on the person and perspective. Obviously a review would be great but as a film guy, I was just curious either way. Keep up the awesome work.

The Lord of the rings, original star wars, and this. The 3 best trilogies of all time.

This is an underrated trilogy. One of the best trilogies ever imo

Such a great trilogy here

I just can't. I love the Roddy McDowall films too much 😀

I'm glad you're watching these; The Lord of the Rings is the best trilogy of all time and I consider the new Planet of the Apes trilogy to be the second greatest. It gets better and better. Matt Reeves' stuff is 10/10. Andy Serkis proves he is the best mo-cap actor of all time.

My favorite scene. “NOOOOOO!” 😱

Mentally they are not as far off as we would like to think. There was an orangutan in Omaha in the 60"s who hid a piece of wire in his mouth and would use it to let himself out of his enclosure. It took keepers a while to figure out how he was doing it. I really enjoy this series and I love that they did a throwback to the original Charleton Heston version with the "damn dirty ape" comment. This was fun to watch, thanks!

I do love this Trilogy. I do hope you give the original Planet of the apes from 1968 a watch someday.

Hey James! have you seen The Ballad of Buster Scruggs before? Because I'd love your filmmaker's view on it (Coenn brother's film)
