I’ve seen the Charlton Heston one, and the 2001 Mark Wahlberg one. The original was obviously better. I hadn’t seen any of the current cycle until I saw Kingdom last weekend. It was fine.
I listened to a recap of the previous 3 films and it didn’t matter. Kingdom takes place “many generations” after the third movie so all the other characters are dead. Kingdom’s story works fine as a standalone film. It’s not amazing, but there’s nothing particularly awful about it. Now I’ll probably see the next couple, but they’re not high on my list.
They’re solid generic blockbuster action-ish movies. They’re not amazing, but they’re fun enough that I think they’re worth a watch if you can’t decide what to watch one night.

I liked Kingdom but it was weaker than the trilogy of movies that came before it.
