Review by Morning.star
I enjoyed everything about this film except for the frequently schlocky score which at times I found excessively emotional to the point of triviality making otherwise meaningful scenes genuinely groan-worthy.

Tell us what you thought about War for the planet of the apes
Review by unofficial reviewer
Very good film in the redux of the original franchise, with more special FX, great cinematography, very well defined and acted characters and a great story. Interesting to note that the apes show more humanity than the humans. Great dark and strange villain role played by Woody Harrelson.
I would watch this one again.
