All I really remember about that movie is a song about 'in and out' making the world go round (fair enough), unrequited squirrel love, and wanting to play Dragon's Lair

How are the gender politics in it? I judge all my movies based on how much it promotes women belonging in the kitchen.

A monkey on horseback with a machine gun does battle with a tank. It's a metaphor for anything you want it to be, Burt.

Terrible trailer for what will surely be a terrible movie. Harrelson's speech is trite garbage.

Yeah I'd rather see a follow up to what happens when marky mark lands back on earth in front of the aperaham lincoln statue.

Did they ever explain how the smart ape population could have grown large enough that fast to be a threat to humanity?

I think between the last two movies a disease wiped out a lot of humans.

I'm seeing this with a female friene of mine in the cinema later today. Saw the first ones with her as well, so almost a tradition. Hope it's as good as the first two.

This has been a really solid trilogy. I liked the second movie best, while the first one was the most original. This one was more typical, with a real deus ex machina moment towards the end. Still entertaining, and I think most people got what they came for.

Yeah this was decent. Pretty slow second act. But Woody Harrison's last scene was really great. It was entertaining though
