    Battle was a real disappointment. I think the fact that it had been built up quite a lot within the series let it down. Roddy McDowall was always entertaining to watch though, worth seeing just for his performance.

    Battle For the Planet of the Apes was a lot better than I was expecting as any other installment in the series aside from the original was just tired and for the most part pointless. Paul Williams was pretty entertaining here and Caesar's son Cornelius was just creepy. I liked ho...( read more)w the movie had a clean break for the end for the series almost guaranteeing there wouldn't be any more of these forced installments with sloppy battle scenes at the end.

    The future of Humans and Apes is here... very small scale primal struggle. It's slow and contemplative.
  • November 23, 2006
    The seminal sci-fi classic spawned a series of increasingly duff sequels, and this is the last and worst. The script could've been written by a 14 year old boy; all ham-fisted analogies and running around with guns. Stupid and pointless.
  • September 15, 2006
    A lackluster conclusion to the series.
  • October 28, 2009
    Very poor sequel but if you're into the series, you must see it.
  • June 2, 2009
    The best of the sequels of the Planet of the Apes.
  • May 18, 2009
    By far the most boring film in the Apes series.

    who said 'I know. Lets make a fifth monkey movie.'
