BATTLE= An (armed) conflict between opposing groups
WAR= A STATE OF ARMED CONFLICT BETWEEN 2 (OR MORE) OPPOSING GROUPS...
The film opens with a Battle, it closes with a battle and all between 2 sides are opposing each other with force.... PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE TITLE WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES IS MISLEADING.
People also seem to have missed the point that the film is about the effects of war and how LEADERS often must fight their own internal war between doing what is best for their people and what is best for them personally, and how opposite those things truly are when you're fighting a war.
I just don't understand what people wanted or were expecting. Did you think you were gonna see Platoon but with Apes? That'd would've been dumb and completely against what P.O.T.A. has always been about..... Name me a single P.O.T.A. movie (with exception of that Tim Burton piece of crap) that was more about fight scenes than about the themes of the franchise(and if you say Battle for POTA, the movie was about the Watts riots caused by racism, and regarded as arguably the worst)
This film, while certainly the weakest of the new tilogy, was still pretty darn good and effective. It also PERFECTLY sets up a new remake of the original and I can't wait to see it.

Most sequels, especially nowadays, are made more for an attempt to cash in on the popularity of the original rather than being made because there is another genuine story to tell with these characters. This is not the case for Trainspotting 2, this story most definitely falls in the latter.
Trainspotting is one of my all time top 5 favorite movies, and I have waited 20 years to SEE a sequel. I was hyped but skeptical when they announced it, as sequels nowadays tend to be pretty bad. But Danny Boyle and the original cast have done something really special, they have come up with a near perfect reunion and goodbye for these characters. Blending the (literary sequel) "Porno" into it and not making it into a direct adaptation was the smart move (just as giving the original movie a clearer narrative was). Not only is it a great sequel, but it's a great movie (which few sequels strive to be)
However, the 1 things that is absolutely killing me is this.... the original trainspotting was set in the late 80's. This movie takes place 20 years later yet it is present day 2017, it's 30 years later.
