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
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.
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.
