Poll Star Wars fans- Do you like the prequels? Be honest! (738 votes)
We're about a decade past the release of Revenge of the Sith, the end of a trilogy of movies that disappointed so many people. The next film is upon us. If any of you like any of the prequels, now is the time to fess up, and a time for all of us Star Wars fans to ultimately...I don't know, "move on?"
Me? I think the first two episodes aren't the worst movies ever but they're pretty damn bad, especially Attack of the Clones as far as writing, directing, dialogue, sets, and those dated special effects. They also did plenty to fuck up the themes of star wars like the addition of midichlorians....ugh. But you know what? I really like Revenge of the Sith! It's still plagued with a lot of the same problems the first two have like unnecessary over the top lightsaber duels, bad dialogue and directing, etc. but there's also a lot of good here. The intro is a massive improvement, the downfall of the Jedi is genuinely pretty sad, and the emperor is so fucking evil he loves it. I could go on into full review mode but the question remains to everyone- do you actually like any of these movies? Check all that apply or check the last option if you just can't stand these movies
EDIT: I'd just like to add I think Attack of the Clones is the worst and the only reason people are soured over Phantom Menace more is because it was the most disappointing. By the time the second one came around, we were already burned. The romance and fake looking bluescreen environments are AWFUL
