10 Most Divisive Movies Of 2017

10. War For The Planet Of The Apes

Depending on who you ask, War For The Planet Of The Apes is either a thoughtful, emotionally-impactful blockbuster, or a drawn-out, boring misfire.

The movie performed exceptionally well with critics - earning a stellar 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes - but a vocal minority bashed the film, with some audiences claiming that it did not deliver on the action and spectacle the trailers promised.

And to be completely fair to those people, War For The Planet Of The Apes does not contain a lot of action, but whether or not that makes it a less-enjoyable film is entirely down to personal taste.

The backlash was reflected in the film's disappointing box-office figures, with this third instalment in the rebooted Apes series grossing a staggering $220 million dollars less then its predecessor - becoming the lowest domestic earner in the Caesar trilogy - potentially crippling chances of a fourth instalment.

All this is in spite of some critics calling it the best Apes movie ever made, and one of the best blockbusters in recent memory.
