Thoughts on it? I personally think it's the best in the series and my favorite film of the year.

It's my favorite Planet of the Apes movie and it was my favorite film of the year, until Blade Runner 2049 came out.

I was disappointed. I really want to watch it again, though. I've given many movies a second chance and they end up winning me over.
My favorite is 'Dawn'. That's the Matt Reeves I hope we get for 'The Batman' in a couple years.

I really liked all three of them, but have to watch War again. I think it's on par with the second one and above the first one (which was decent too).
In any case these are masterpieces of B-Movie filmmaking; only the original was better. Who would have thought that they would be able to upgrade the lesser chapter of the Apes Saga and make something remotely deep out of it? Great artistic work instead of the formulaic dumbing down for the masses. Matt Reeve rules!

Second best of the new trilogy. I really liked that they went for the slow burn approach that they wanted it to resonate longer than a typically popcorn film. Some really interesting character arcs here.

It was good but not what I expected. I think it was hurt by misleading marketing and a lot of misinformation about the entire franchise on the internet.

Certainly my favorite of the trilogy. I do agree it wasn't quite the "war" I was expecting, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the story we did get.

I liked it and found the film to be a satisfying conclusion to the new reboot trilogy.
Man, that bit where Nova bonds with Caesar and the other apes show their support was one of the most touching scenes I've seen in recent years.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. A fitting end for Caesar.

Very hard to say which is the best in the new trilogy - all excellent.
One thing I was glad about was War not being a repeat the storyline a lot of people wanted - i.e. an Apes Vs Humans battle. We had that in Dawn, and despite being uneasy after seeing the trailers, it was a nice surprise to find it did it's own thing, i.e. the story of Caeser battling against his own demon, in the shape of a need to chase vengeance...

I just finished it a few hours ago. It's pretty good; undecided whether it's a 7 or 8 in my book. I'll confess it wasn't what I expected. Something bigger and grander in scale. The character development and conflict with Harrelson's villain was great. But I was bored in parts.

It had its problems, like how there was only one guard with the Apes who abandoned his post when something threw poop at him.
