Is it just me or does anyone feel like this is the most underrated movie trilogy ever

Rise was groundbreaking. Dawn was thought-provoking. War was just so full of emotions. One of the most amazing trilogies in Scifi/Fantasy, if not of all times.

This trilogy had no business being as good as it is... a phenomenal set of films that got better with every movie. It's all down to the mocap team and cast... Serkis is a gift to the world of film.

Caesar is easily one of the best protagonists in modern cinema.
In the first film, he grows up very innocent and optimistic, but as he matures, he realizes how cruel the real world is for his kind. He eventually decides to do something about it and uses his heightened intelligence to lead his people to revolt, freeing him and his fellow apes from oppression and allowing them to be govern by no else but themselves.
In the second film, years pass and he rules his nation as a wise and noble king, teaching his people to act civilized and promoting peaceful coexistence with humans rather than unnecessary conflict. However, when an ape with an adamant hatred toward humans begins plotting against him, he does nothing to stop him. He believed an ape was physically incapable of betraying another ape, let alone an ape king. By the time he realizes his mistake… it’s too late. The vengeful ape has him violently usurped, blames the assassination on the humans and leads the apes to war. The only thing he could do now was take back his throne by force, and so after recovering from his grievous wounds, he confronts his usurper and kills him, dropping him from on top of an unfinished skyscraper. He believed he did everything he could to prevent war between humans and apes, when in reality, he did more to provoke it than prevent it.
Finally, in the third film, as the war inflicts devastating losses on his people, he decides to migrate his nation to a place where the humans can not attack them. However, right before the migration begins, his wife and son are murdered by humans. Unable to hold back his desire for revenge, he and his closest comrades perform a rearguard action to protect their people’s exodus, when in reality, it’s an excuse for him to settle the score. This selfish act results in the unintentional murder of a traitor, one of his close friends sacrificing his life, and him and his people getting captured by humans and forced to do labour. While in captivity, he meets his family’s murderer, a colonel of a rogue human military faction, who explains humans are not only becoming more extinct, but also more primitive in nature due to a mutation of the disease which led to the apes becoming so intelligent. The colonel intends on killing all intelligent apes and humans infected with the mutated disease because it will apparently help humanity stay the dominant force on the planet. When his fellow apes become making a great esc-ape, he stays behind to finish what he started, regardless of all the consequences it brought. He confronts the colonel in his personal quarters and is about to blow his head off when he realizes the colonel has contracted the mutated disease. In that a moment, he finally understood why the colonel did what he did and despite still clearly wanting to kill him, he ultimately lets the colonel himself determine in his fate, resulting in the colonel committing suicide. He then uses explosives to blow up the colonel’s base, effectively wiping out the rogue military faction, and joins his people in their journey to reach their new home. When they finally arrive, he dies peacefully from mortal wounds he sustained earlier, knowing his legacy and impact on the world will last forever.
Caesar has all the qualities a good protagonist should have. He has a compelling personality, his skills and accomplishments are inspirational, his goals and motivations allow you to relate to him, he experiences all kinds of loses and setbacks, he constantly changes and develops as a character and, most importantly, he is truly the best part about the story.

Bravo, Andy Serkis he really brought life & character to Caesar if Roddy McDowell was still alive he would agree Andy was the perfect choice to play this unique & powerful primate.

This trilogy proves that some sequels are great, but this was fantastic. My favorite trilogy of all time.

@ 6:30...looks like he got more pissed off throughout the events of each film. That first expression is just serious, the second is angry and that last one, well...he just looks straight pissed.

What actually amazing is that Ceaser is a little bit similar to Moses. Think about it?
He was born imprisonment (slavery/experimented), but he was saved by one who shown kindness by becoming the future leader parent (Adopted mother of Moses/Will). He than hurt/kill a human causing him to flee (or imprisoned in Caesar case). He help his kind escape their life of imprisonment and lead them to freedom. Years later, the leader is challenge of his leadership by someone(s) in his group (Kobe/Leaders of Tribe of Israel) which lead them to be either silence or killed. Than his story ends with his death as he watch his people go to their new land without him.
Edited;
I'm not saying Ceaser is Moses! I'm saying how similar the two characters are. Moses didn't go back to Egypt for revenge that put his people in trouble nor did he nearly died because of the person who challenge him. It's just a small comparison.

When I think of Will and Caesar's relationship, it always brings me back to one line.
"Of all the souls I've encountered in my travels... his was the most... human."
