All the low scores are from stupid conservatives who cry because the fictional story shows the humans being bad while the apes (animals) are good.. LOL!! Leave yer stupid political bias at the door. The movie was entertaining and had a good story.. you guys (Republicans) will never stop griping about THE dumbest and smallest things.. smh
