Film 2346 - Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

Intro: We're going back in time for this one because I forgot to note in down in my list of movies to review and... I completely forgot about it until the Oscar nominations came out and Bowen Yang made that joke about so many movies nominated for Best Visual Effects portrays monkeys in their stories.

Film 2345: "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" (2024), Wes Ball
Watched on: At the movies
Language: English
Watched with: Niamh
Thoughts: The fact that I completely forgot i watched this movie I think says it all. It's not a bad movie, to be fair, but it's nothing we've seen before. To be completely honest, the thing I remember the most about "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" is how many times I yawned: the running time is too long (145 minutes) and for a lot of the plot nothing really happens. Probably I wasn't really in the mood to watch this film, but yeah, I remember I was bored.
The visual effects are great, though, and the premise of the "Planet of the Apes" franchise is always fascinating. But I feel like we milked it enough.
Ps. While I was writing down the list of the other "Planet of the Apes" movies I saw in the past, I noticed there's one missing from my reviews that I know I watched back in the day: "War for the Planet of the Apes". Funny enough, I forgot to write about another film from this saga.
