Why is this successful?

Rating: 1/10 (9 January 2014)

It kills me that this movie and this series is so successful when there are dozens upon dozens of great movies out there that have only seen a fraction of this success. Catherine Hardwick is a terrible director. Her movies come across wooden, amateurish, ill lit, and quite frankly, childish.
Just look at Twilight and that awful Red Riding Hood movie. It's incredible that she still has a career.
Kristen Stewart had promise early on in her career. I enjoyed her in Speak and thought she would one day make an incredible character actress. This movie made me hate her.
And that $%#!&*#$ wig they made Taylor Lautner wear. Seriously?! Who the hell looked at that and said, "Yeah, looks great". It's terrible! The whole damned movie is terrible. The books are terrible. And this drivel, while popular with 14 year old teeny boppers and 40 year old attention starved women alike, is just that.. DRIVEL. Thank you for helping dumb down America. Jesus $#!&!^*#$ Christ.
