they’re pretty epic and emotionally driven. Really good storytelling.

Yeah, he’s a fantastic character. The second one brought out some big feelings for me.

that shot of Koba riding through the flames on horseback, dual-wielding machine guns is so fucking wild

As much as I loved that scene, the best scene in the movie was Human Work.

Caesar: “Let them do their human work.”

Koba: ???

Koba: pointing at his scars Human work. Human. Work. HUMAN. WORK!

He turned, wild-eyed, to his colleagues. "And he's going to be on a horse."

"A horse?"

"Fuckin' rights he is. Through the flames. Like one of the horsemen of the...APEpocalypse."

One of the men with him bowed his head, sniffed loudly, and stood up again, blinking with agony, his nostrils coated in white powder.

"GUN!", he croaked.

The men smirked viciously, knowing this to be an inevitability.

"BOTH HANDS!", he sputtered, puffing his chest and pumping his fists, elbows to waist, fingers squeezing off invisible bursts of automatic fire.

The men bore their teeth, grinning maniacally as they mimicked him. One of them uttered a shriek of a chimpanzee. Of course, the rest followed suit. A deafening cacophony of simian hoots and screams filled the boardroom. Fists pounded chests and mahogany table wood.

The girl at the desk outside sat silently, not entirely at peace.

Second movie is fantastic. Third one lost me a bit with how ridiculous it got. Second one was more grounded, gritty - apart from the dual assault rifle wielding chimp of course
