Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - MOVIE REVIEW

Hey everyone, "what a wonderful day!" Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, one of my most anticipated movies of the year, has now hit theaters! I absolutely loved the previous trilogy, particular the latter two films directed by Matt Reeves (who went on to direct The Batman). The trailers for this film and how it seemed like this movie was going to handle the legacy of Caesar seemed awesome to me. So, is Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes a worthy continuation of one of the best reboots in film history? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review!
