Add this to the endless list of disappointing sequels. Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes set the scene for what could’ve been a classic movie trilogy. Dawn, the title of which is just as clunky, kills all hope.
The apes talk too much. The storyline, stitched together by a series of unlikely coincidences, is surprisingly tame and predictable. A hero found alive, a villain on a cliff; this is War Movies 101.

I was actually surprised by how little the apes spoke. I was happy that the majority of their communication was via sign language. The only times they were forced to speak was when communicating with the humans, and even then the movie portrayed that speaking was pretty difficult for them.
Totally agree with you. Your review nailed it. What a disappointment.
