Love to Hate: Dodge is an unsavory saditistic bully towards the apes in the animal shelter, but is grotesquely entertaining with Tom Felton's Evil Is Hammy approach and his liners peppered with Mythology Gag nods to the star of the original 1968 film Charlton Heston. 
Roger Ebert: The movie has its pleasures, although human intelligence is not one of them. and Harris' character even saves Skye from Acevedo's. Both appeared in almost the exact same roles in the second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
In this movie, Jamie Harris portrays a friend of the non-humans, while in this film's sequel, Kirk Acevedo plays a vicious human racist. to allow use of the Simian Flu in their game, bringing the connection full-circle. Bonus points because by the time of the sequel, 20th Century Fox made a deal with the creators of Plague Inc. However, the mobile game it ultimately inspired uses a rather similar way of telling where disease spreads. The Spreading Disaster Map Graphic in the credits is far from funny. 
The police were forced to shoot all animals dead to protect the public. The film's plot about animals going free due to abuse and the police gunning them down became a whole lot more darker following the mass animal release in Zanesville Ohio, where 49 animals were deliberately let out of their cages by their owner.Rewatching after reading that makes you see him more clearly. However, in the context of the sequel, it's Koba's first kill, and he happened to like the taste.Not to mention what we learn about his backstory in the ∽awn prequel novel. In the context of this film, it's a triumph against an Asshole Victim oppressor. In ancient Rome, from which Caesar owes his name, a bundle of sticks (or "fasces") was a symbol of authority, which in turn was where the word "fascism" comes from.
Genius Bonus: Caesar explains why the apes should work in teams by using a bundle of sticks. Koba killing Jacobs can also warrant a cathartic feeling for the latter being a Corrupt Corporate Executive. After having to sit through Dodge's sadism against the apes, seeing him electrocuted to death is ungodly satisfying. For his unjust actions against Ceasar and the Rodmans during most of his screen time, seeing Hunsiker getting his butt handed to is very satisfying. And many, including James Franco, feel Andy Serkis should have been nominated for Best Actor. 
Award Snub: It didn't win the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
