Review of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972) by Dylan D — 02 Jun 2016

Conquest of the Planet of the Apes returns the Apes series to a relative level of excellence after the letdown that was Escape From the Planet of the Apes. Conquest is a logical extension of the story arc that was introduced in the previous film, and sets the series up nicely for what should be a fitting conclusion and full-circle closure for the series.

The highlight here is Roddy McDowall's performance as Caesar, punctuated by his fervent monologue to close out the film.
