The prequels just have so many noticeable flaws and the only redeeming feature seems to be whether or not you are woo'd by the CG, which gets harder and harder as they age.

But the prequels just...fucking were so bad. The characters were either ridiculous or non-existent. Obi-wan in Phantom Menace acted cool and reserved (actually just annoyed the entire time)
while Liam Neeson played Liam Neeson trying to be the "wise elder" when really he time and time again does some questionable and retarded shit
Then we're forced into a plot in a world that doesn't really make much sense for what was explained.
In a New Hope our driving force was the Empire killing Luke's family, and a distant message from a damsel in distress, cliched, but it is a plot that actually gives the plot weight and emotion.
In PM we get "muh space trade routes" and "muh space politics", like it's trying to be some immersive sci-fi universe but any and all delving into the logic of the plot just gives you a slap in the face. Just because there is some dead air in New Hope doesn't really mean that episode one throwing in Jar-Jar electrocuting his tongue is a meaningful scene.
Speaking of Jar-Jar, who the fuck are these prequels aimed at? Kids?
Why the fuck do we have such long scenes of boring space politics? Adult fans of the lore and universe? Why the fuck do we have such a fucked plot that makes no sense and blatant holes in the story and useless gimmick scenes and
god it's a mess
the OT at least had coherency, the prequels is like they just tried to cram in every possible thing that they thought ANY demographic would go "oooooo" at
So? And he was a good character. So?
Like what? Without looking at the RedLetterMedia review (which is 90% nitpicking).
Made sense to me. Try... paying attention more? I dunno.
So how do you explain how it didn't have any weight or emotion?
Jar Jar was a good character.
The entire Star Wars franchise is for kids, yes. Surprise, surprise.
Why would a kid's movie designed for the whole family contain scenes that adults would be able to understand? It seems intuitive to me, and when I saw the movie as a kid, I thought the space politics was pretty interesting. Soooo.
And?
If you're going to bash the prequels, at least bash shit that's worth bashing.Namely, unnecessarily long scenes that are just trying to show off CG (the podrace scene).Practical effects are something I have a lot of respect for, and it's something the original trilogy had, so I respect that.CG is lame, but at least the prequels' CG was good.Also, I hated the constant nostalgia pandering in the prequels. Bringing back Jabba was stupid, and making it so Anakin was the one who built C-3P0 was... just nonsensical. I don't really consider these things big issues, though, and they're easy for me to gloss over, just like 90% of what prequel haters say.

So Fox News apparently manages to "call out" Star Wars and its Fanbase.
