I really liked the second movie in the reboot trilogy but thought the third movie was a terrible dud. It was so ham-handed! And in the over-the-top efforts to make the apes out to be a sympathetic species so you would rejoice in their triumph over man, they also succeeded in making them terrifically stupid.

*Spoiler Alert* The movie lost me near the beginning when the apes, who are in hiding in the deep forest, decide to make a desperate and secret bid for escape by TAKING THE MAIN ROAD WITH ALL THEIR NOISY HORSES AND CARTS AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN TOW. Why didn't they just send the high-powered military a map of their route? And the stupidity continued from there. 

Only deus ex machina could save them from inexorable Darwinism, and that's what eventually happened, but I can't say I was impressed. Yeah,  yeah, the theme was the meek shall inherit the earth, but you'd think they could still put up some fight.
