As the final entry in the film series, ***Battle*** is anticlimactic. There's no battle sequence in here that remotely beat the one we had at the end of *Conquest* with the apes vs. the police force. The second act was so slow it got me disinterested in seeing the rest honestly but when we get to the third act there's finally a bit of action. I can't say those action sequences were worth waiting five movies for.

It's weird that in a final installment of a five movie series I can't recognize any of the characters, they're all new except for Caesar exclusively—I don't care for anyone or who ultimately wins the war. A great score but too much of it at times. Nothing much in the way of visuals. The entire budget probably went into the costumes and ape masks cause there were a lot of them. One of the lamest 1v1 fights i've ever seen in the last 10 minutes. Very predictable ending but fitting I guess.

Overall this film series has been a huge disappointment and a waste of time. The original is the only one I would ever rewatch. Now on to the better entries in the franchise finally...
