Critics Consensus

Carving out a new era for The Planet of the Apes with lovable characters and rich visuals, Kingdom doesn't take the crown as best of the franchise but handily justifies its continued reign.

Odie Henderson

Boston Globe

“Kingdom” aims for some sort of anti-fascism and anti-gun statement. But the film tramples on its own undeveloped ideas when it suddenly become a large-scale actioner. It’s as if the studio had a carnage meter that had to hit 11 before fadeout.

Rated: 2/4

An astounding vision, profound writing and originality are missing in this pretender. It’s a shallow knockoff that can’t carry the weight of the legacy it inherited.

The action sequences are thrilling, and Ball always makes sure they are in service of progressing the plot and not just spectacle for spectacle’s sake.

The graphics were good and that is why I gave a 2 star rating. I watched the original Planet of the Apes movie in 1968 and was in awe of the possibility actually happening. I did suffer through the follow on of the Ape movies but got burned out. and now 55 years later you want to remake the movies. Your latest movie starts out long after the apes took over so there is no beginning and you are clearly planning more additions to the remake of the story of Planet of Apesl I wasn't thrilled with going to this remake but the reviews sounded good so I took my grandson to watch it. He liked it but I was totally disappointed.
