Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will continue Hollywood’s most underrated franchise
The recent Planet of the Apes trilogy is one of the most consistently fun and thoughtful blockbuster franchise revivals in recent memory. Beginning in an understated fashion with Rupert Wyatt’s 2011 film Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the series took off when The Batman director Matt Reeves grabbed the baton for 2014’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apeswith an understated approach to post-apocalyptic action that never lost sight of the humanity in its story about a burgeoning ape society.
