Some of us don't simply hate it because we are jaded or cynical, but because we thought the acting, script and storyline sucked. I didn't like the first film for those reasons, so I'm not surprised that I didn't like the following ones. It has nothing to do with the creativity of the idea behind the films, which I think is pretty incredible. I just think it wasn't a plan that was executed very well, and we all have our own tastes, eh?
