My WIFE watches Rise of the Planet of the Apes for the FIRST time 

This modern Planet of the Apes Trilogy is, in my opinion, one of the coolest achievements in cinematic history. Not just because they are just fantastic films but also because the interaction with animal and human, and the emotion they expressed between the two species is just mind blowing to me. Having a war between Apes and Humans and NOT making it stupid was a big achievement imo

This is one of my favorite film trilogies ever. It's seriously underrated

I love that they went for it and made Ceasar the protagonist, despite not having the ability to speak at all. It's all on the filmmakers and Andy Serkis' performance to let us know what he's thinking at any moment, and it's done masterfully

*A very ironic fact: in Spider-Man (2002), James Franco was originally considered to be Peter Parker/Spider-Man, but Tobey Maguire got the role. In this Planet of the Apes movie, originally Tobey Maguire was considered for Will's pale, but James Franco ended up getting the role. James got revenge on Bully Maguire!*

7:40 Holden: “here Boston have some popcorn” Also Holden: “choke on it” 😂😂😂

The pre-show of this video is probably the most tense I've ever been watching any of your content lol. The look Jen threw Holden...

Jen: I love dark and gritty. Holden: *Makes a dark joke* Jen: HOLDEN THOMAS HARDMAN!!! In reality, your guys’s back and forth when you make jokes is funny as hell 😂🤘🏻

caesar has the best character development for a cg character ever. to think he was being walked around the woods on a collar, to leading an entire ape colony fighting against the last remaining surviving groups of humans left on earth. it couldn't possibly get any better than that.

This new Planet of the Apes trilogy is definitely one of the best trilogies to ever be put to film. It’s incredible and masterful with how they do the CGI

I like many people consider Dawn of the Planet of the apes to be the best one out of the trilogy,but Rise of the planet of the apes is the film I find the most fun to rewatch. My favorite scenes have to be when the apes wake up after being given the Gen-z virus by Caesar and how they wake up with a new sense of awareness. My other favorite moment is when Caesar speaks for the first time by saying "NO!"

Jen: *ranting about Holden making her watch movies where animals brutally die* Holden: *peacefully eating popcorn* "Yeah."

Rise is a great start to this trilogy, but it’s pretty much universally agreed the next two movies blow this one out of the water. Dawn is my favorite of the three. Brilliant storytelling and filmmaking. A true achievement.

She was so focused on the her dog she missed the entire turning point of the movie.. when Ceasars realized he had a leash like the dog in the movie

I’d love for Jen to see the behind the scenes on these film. It’s such a cool thing to see the advancements made in motion capture, through these movies. Plus, seeing the incredible work the actors behind the apes put in, to inform the graphic artists, is outstanding. Shame on the Oscars and Academy for not recognizing their work and performances as “acting.”

22:55 .....I remember watching this movie at the cinema when it came out, and the scene where Cesar screams "NOOOO", the whole room gasped at the same time...... That's when you know for sure the movie is great.....

This is one of the best trilogies to exist. I love how it started as a reboot, and transitioned into a prequel by the third movie.

One of my favorite moments in Cinema is Cesar saying No. When hearing it for the 1st time u actually feel a bit shocked that a Monkey/Ape just spoke, but everytime I hear him say it, I get chills

The James Franco comment killed me

5:07 OMG ! I laugh so loud. I was drinking and I almost spit out the whole thing. The way Jen is relieved before realizing what Holden said is so genuine. That's a priceless moment! 😂🤣😂

This is how you reboot a franchise, go in an original direction rather than making a shot for shot remake

Wedding Officiant: Do you take Jen to be your lawfully wedded wife? Holden: Who's to say?

Such a amazing trilogy! Dawn & War has still the best CGI I've ever seen, its crazy how good at it they got from Rise to War (and Rise is still very very good) Holden you should show Jen the "demo" they released of Andy Serkis talking slowly transition into Caesar to really show of much of Andy's performance there is behind all that CGI. It's up here on youtube.

It’s Holden’s ability to keep a straight face every time he says “….who’s to say sweetie” for me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is my favourite trilogy. All three movies carry on the same level of entertainment and emotions.

I just love that this trilogy was made by the same person that also made the Batman. Such a great director

*Even outside of Harry Potter, our beloved and hated Draco Malfoy is a cruel guy to animals.*

Arguably one of the best trilogy’s I’ve ever seen. So glad you got Jen watching it.

The neighbor, David Hewlett, is one of my favorite actors. He's one of the main characters on Stargate Atlantis, where he plays a dorky mad scientist who's both sheepish and full of himself. Great character. In real life he as an real person is SUPER dorky. Like he salvaged a ton of the Stargate Universe sets.

Glad to see you guys going through this series. I grew up watching the original Planet of the Apes series from the ‘60s and ‘70s, and the new trilogy gave me absolutely everything I wanted. It was a brilliant way to pay tribute to the original films (even the lesser ones), but also tell its own original story.

Yes!! There's a clever Easter egg, where it shows that the ship ICARUS, from the original film, on it's way to Mars, having disappeared without a trace

Jen: I cannot watch anymore animals being slaughtered. Holden: Let me fetch Rush Hour real quick...

“I can’t take any more animal massacres” Oh boy she’s gonna LOVE this trilogy

That “Harambe” reference will always have a place in my heart. Im from brownsville, tx where harambe was born and raised. They took him away to cincinatti and he was dead. Everyone here adored him, we even have a stone in the front of the zoo of him, RIP Harambe ❤️

When I 1st saw this movie I was completely blown away, wait, I saw the subsequent sequels in theaters explode away by those too

oh man I already know Jen is going to be an emotional wreck watching this trilogy lol.

I’m so happy that you’re finally watching these movies. I love these movies and I personally see these new planet of the apes movies as one of the best movie trilogies of all time.

Adore you Jenn! Loved the Jurassic Park reference, so I will give you this advice, Hold onto your butts. You guys rock and congratulations!!!!!!

this trilogy is golden. Matt reeves filmed the last 2 movies, and they were phenomenal! still got to see his batman film.

The long pause after Holden said “I love these dogs” just says more than he actually does 😂

Loving the videos and content, man. You’re one of the few you tubers I check every couple days to see what they’re up to. Keep it up!

Andy Serkis was the glue that held this movie trilogy together if they decide to continue with the saga that we see Andy play Casear's grown son Cornelius. Like Roddy McDowell did.

Loved this episode! I love the POTA thrillogy! Btw; where did Jen get her awesome sweater?!

I love all The Planet Of The Apes movies. Yes, Even the 2001 one. Basically everyone involved has at some point has said a forth movie is possible. The way War For ends it could go anywhere. I’d be happy to see it

YEEEEESSSS thank you! Most underrated trilogy and one of the very best out there!

Wow this is great . Yall just made my night thank you from Canada 😁

You guys should try and find a version with subtitles when the apes are signing. Understanding their conversations makes the whole trilogy better.

Yes!! I have been asking for the reaction of this trilogy for months!!

Man, I recently started watching the planet of the apes movies and now I'm noticing some people are starting to react to these movies. I'm so glad

I remember this fight between Caesar and Malfoy the first time. The theaters went on cheering in the 2011 release. But when the moment Caesar said "NO!", the entire theater went dead silent. What an amazing moment!

I haven't watch the video yet but I'm so hyped. I think that this is the best Movie trilogy ever and I have been wanting Holden and Jen to watch these movies for like a year now!

Oh God what an incredible trilogy of films to go through. Jen will love these, they get really dark.

Omg yes, I've been waiting for you guys to watch my favorite trilogy 😍

one of my fav film franchises in recent years. Glad you guys are reacting to it.

“…where dinosaurs are killed” didn’t they start the killing first? 😭😂. This woman will sacrifice us all to animals I swear.

We wanna see “My wife and I watched Moon Knight first the first time”

Holden- “How are you feeling about going into this movie?” Jenn- “Monke”

YES YES YES FINALLY!!!! I'VE BEEN REQUESTING THIS FOR SO LONGGGGG!

This trilogy is a million times better then the dark knight trilogy. Yes i said that. Can't wait for dawn and war. 1:15 yes the mid 60s to the 70s a total 5 movies

I’ve been waiting for this for so long !

the BEST movies to hit the world in YEARS. Matt Reeves is personally why i feel they got even better as they went on. He DRASTICALLY made the story more intense, detailed, and built up those characters we all fell in love with in this first movie. LETS GO!

Holden the special effects has become so realistic that the way Peter Jackson has perfected it by getting Andy Serkis so realistic is amazing that sometimes you forget it’s cc. Just amazing this is Weta at their finest moment. You forget he’s not an ape. Really well done. Omg

I love Holden trolling her, then being like, "Alright, ready?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

7:25 that last part: "and choke on it..." The expression on her face! LMFAO!!!!!!

She’s like ranting about how she doesn’t wanna see the apes die and he’s casually just eating popcorn 😂

So excited you are doing this trilogy! I love this trilogy. Such a good story arch and nicely paced.

“ Sorry Boston I’ve been making a lot of jokes at your expense here have a popcorn……and CHOKE ON IT” 😂😂😂 I fucking laughed way too hard at this 😂

It’s an absolute masterpiece of a trilogy

These movies are so underrated, some of the best films of the 2000s/2010s

This series is so amazing probably one of my favorite trilogies.

I know I’m being “ That guy” but all monkeys are apes, but not all apes are monkeys. Monkeys have tails. What I love about these movies is the apes show us who WE are without us even realizing it.

I’m becoming increasingly concerned about jen watching homelander murder people without flinching but if any animal even slightly gets hurt she’s holding back tears

Holden just shitting on Boston has to be one of the funniest recurring jokus in these videos

Oh this is a very good trilogy I can’t wait to see the rest with you guys! 4 is apparently coming at some point too.

That Franco joke was a good one!!! And Jen, what do ya think these movies are gonna be like? They’re gonna go on picnics together?

Honestly think Caesars first word is one of the greatest movie moments of all time.

Some more trivia regarding the character Tom Felton played: The first and last name of his character were the last names of two of the astronauts in the 1968 film, Dodge and Landon( Charlton Heston was Taylor). The 1968 film was released three years before I was born and one of my earliest memories is watching the original on TV in the 1970's, as well as the subsequent films in the series. I pretty much grew up watching those films and it was a real treat to watch this new trilogy. I love the progression of Caesar over the three films and how Andy Serkis really brought him to life. Makes me want to pull them off my shelf and watch them again.

this movie, and the entire prequel trilogy (it's literally a prequel to the original novel and movie, just look at the direct references to the beginning of the original) carries differently if you've seen/read the original or if this is the first one you see in the franchise. I wish you'd start with the original, you'd understand the gravity of the choices and actions of both Caesar and people around him, knowing where that leads.

Apes or Great Apes are Orangutans, Gorillas, Chimpanzees, Bonobos and Humans So technically Jen you watch movies with apes dying all the time lol

4:20 The nervous "we'll see"/foreshadowing chuckle gets me every time. Every. Time. lol

Funny note: The space ship that was lost was the one from the 1968 movie also -- just FYI its still a good one to watch

Why does EVERY person that reacts to this movie CONSTANTLY call them "monkeys"? The movie is LITERALLY called "Rise of the planet of the APES" and a character IN the movie says "He's not a monkey, he's an ape". And yet, every reactor STILL calls them monkeys and I want to jump through the screen and start strangling them every time. 💀

Holden i believe you can find the subtitles for the sign language online. Makes the ape scenes so much better

22:55 One of the most epic moments in cinema history, and her reaction is "oh yeah 😐".

FINALLY! I have been waiting for too long for this!!!

4:30 when Holden say I don’t know I died😂😂

Another reference to the 60s version, was the newspaper headline about the crew Lost in space.

As soon as Jen said "I'm gonna ring Holden's neck if any animals die". My first thought was, "well that was a short marriage." Then Holden flipped the camera with that face, lol. At least Buck's death was a good one. Went out a hero. 7:43 Jen's face after Holden say "choke on it." All of the primates show in the movie are apes, apes is just a generic name for primates in the Hominoidea superfamily in taxonomy, (which includes humans). The apes species in the movie are Chimpanzees (Caesar's kind), Bonobos (Koba's kind), Orangutans (Maurice's kind), and Gorilla (Buck's kind).

the dang movie hasn't even started yet and already I'm laugh crying! Those looks of "I know something you don't know...": Priceless.

Jen: "Do the apes die!?!" Me, remembering that Homo-Sapiens are a kind of ape: "Oh yeah. Absolutely."

I agree that each movie is better than the one before. I remember some people thought war was a let down but I think that is just that they market war like it was going to be a lot of action and while it did have action it is more like about the emotion part of war.

YESSS!! One of the best trilogies

That zoom in when she says I wonder where the virus thing goes...lol

One of the most underrated trilogies out there. Among Kung Fu Panda and How To Train Your Dragon.

Planet of the apes is one of my favorite franchises of all time. I'm partial to the original series but this trilogy is pretty good too!

If you guys get the Comet broadcast station down there, there will be an original Planet of the Apes marathon.

Matt reeves films in this trilogy are amazing. And makes The Batman even better!!!

"choke on it"...lmaoooo her reaction. This man is a menace to society lmaoo

Holdens “aha” to when Jen is questioning him about animals dying is golden

The "HOLDEN THOMAS HARDMAN" gets me everytime

7:43 Jena face after Holden says choke on it 😭😂
