Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Review
Critic Spencer Perry’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Review gives the film 4 out of 5 stars as a promising new chapter:
It can already be daunting to join a franchise that has remained steadfast for almost sixty years, not to mention one that successfully rebooted itself in the 2010s to critical acclaim, but director Wes Ball has managed to stare down that mountain of intimidation with his cast and crew to deliver. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes proves that there is still life left in this franchise and that it can grow beyond the fan-favorite Andy Serkis trilogy while still drawing influence from its roots. Even with minor faults, it’s a grand time, and a worthy follow-up.
Rating: 4 out of 5
