Perhaps if they were better movies, I'd agree. But they weren't.
That's what gets me. Whenever I say I haven't enjoyed these movies, people say one of two things. Either, "Oh, just get over the fact that they do a bad job with the story and enjoy them as movies," or, "Oh, just get over the fact that they are bad movies and enjoy the story." I can't, because he screwed both aspects up. They are neither well made movies nor particularly well conceived sotry-wise. While there are spots here and there that are good, and a few story elements which do give me some food for thought, overall it was a sorry effort.
I'm not bitter so much as disappointed. It could have been great, it wasn't. That's unfortunate.
