I already loved the first movie, but the second is even better. Darker, a little more action and also moving moments. I'll tell the positives and also the rare little disappointments I've seen in this amazing film.
The story takes place ten years after the first film. Caesar now lives in the forest with his family and his community, in a wooden fortress away from humans. Caesar did not want war with the humans, he wants to live in peace with them, but without being in contact. A group of humans comes into their territory, but do not want to hurt them. At this moment, Malcolm and Ellie, the two main humans of the film, have befriended with Caesar and want what the apes want: to survive and live in peace. Unfortunately, the greed of some men and apes will threaten the peace and lead to a confrontation that seems inevitable. As Caesar said: "War begins!"
The positives:
The script is basic, but very effective. Caesar has a family now, a wife and two son, he wants to protect them at all costs. One might think that Caesar hates humans, but in reality, he wants to give them a chance, because he knows that all humans are not killers. He wants to believe in the goodness of some humans, and that, it proves that Caesar showed more humanity than some men, then that it is a ape. This is why Caesar is my favorite saga character: it is a ape, but with a good man's heart.
The villain of the film is not a man but a ape: Koba, the Lieutenant of Caesar. If Caesar wants that the humans and the apes live in peace, Koba wants to make war against them. It has a boundless hatred for humans since the torture that he suffered in experimental laboratories, which proves its scars on his face and body. Koba is ready at all to eradicate humans, even kill his own brothers and its leader to take his place. Moreover, I was very scared at one point of the movie because I thought Koba had killed Caesar, but finally, Caesar comes back and kills Koba, in an incredible battle at the top of a tower. My only disappointment is that Koba became wicked. It was a very interesting character, and I think it's a pity that it is became like what it hated: a human. But also, I find it interesting that even monkeys can become bad, like humans. Moreover, Caesar realizes when he knows that Koba has trying to kill it, and it told his son: I thought apes were better than humans, but I was wrong. We are like them. "
The end is very beautiful and moving. Caesar killed Koba and took over his place of leadership, but he also knows that an army of humans is on the way towards them, and that confrontation is inevitable. It asked then has his human friend, Malcolm, to flee with his family, to give them a chance to survive. This suggests that Caesar will stay with his army to fight, and give a chance to his new friends to survive.
I put the note of 10/10 to the movie, because I have not been disappointed once (except for Koba, but I do not take that into consideration). This film is a masterpiece, and I hope that the sequel will be just as epic. Go Apes! Go Caesar! War begins ...... Now!
