Before watching any of the Apes films, there are some things to consider: The disease that is spreading causes the infected human(s) to grow more and more primitively while the apes grow smarter and smarter by the day. The (human) military may or may not be aware of how fast the apes grow and learn. I hope that explains most if not all of the complaints anyone has about the story.
Personally, I thought the third film, WAR, was fine, but I liked the second film, DAWN, the best of this trilogy because it was well paced and set between the prologue/beginnings and the aftermath of the story. There's a good fight scene at the end which served to be quite satisfying. The chemistry between the two characters Caeser and Koba reminds me a whole lot of Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto from the X-Men series where one stands for peace and the other stands for war, but instead of mutants, they're apes.
