"The blandest and most forgettable of the original Apes series, it's pretty easy to see why this is where the original series of films ended. Directed by the same director, and with the same disinterested artlessness, as Conquest, the best thing I can say about this movie is that it has a couple of decent side characters. Claude Akins is pretty good as the unbalanced General Aldo, Lew Ayres brings some much-needed energy to his scenes as weapons-keeper Mandemus, and Austin Stoker (of Assault on Precinct 13 fame) shows up as Mr. MacDonald's younger brother, Mr. MacDonald. But overall, this is a painfully dull affair, and certainly the one that feels the most like a cheap cash-grab of the '70s sequels. Even Roddy McDowall seems tired at this point." ~KBM

"What a fucking boring movie for the big climax of the old Planet of the Apes movies. Everything in this movie is cheap and hokey. I can't think of a positive thing to say about this movie." ~JONA

"This is a tremendously disappointing entry to close out the original series of films. Billed as The Final Chapter on the franchise, Battle promised to reveal just how the Apes finally hammered the nail in the coffin of the human race. Sadly, as the budgets rapidly decreased with each film, the titular Battle was barely a skirmish between humans driving jeeps and a few apes on horses. I do really enjoy John Hustons Lawgiver prologue, and the addition of Paul Williams as a friendlier, wannabe-Dr. Zaius is certainly a fun watch. The rage last seen in Roddy McDowells Caesar is barely an emotional blip, and his wise king routine just feels dishonest in light of the riotous climax of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (more on that later)." ~Scarlet
