The OT and the PT are two completely different trilogies. The OT has suspense, drama, artistic looking cinematography, better storyline. The PT is told in a boring, straightforward way. No interesting shots. When there's action it just erupts in front of the camera, bouncing around. Both trilogies have lame dialogue, but the PT is worse cause nobody got to adapt theirs at all, or the scenes. The stupid crap lines that Anakin and Padme share would have been the same with Han and Leia if they hadn't been changed by Kerschner, Ford, and Kurtz. Who knows who else may have helped that along.
The story in the PT has no suspense, no reason to empathise with the characters. The complete opposite of the OT.
This is why when watching Star Wars one needs a strong base of the OT in their mind, then the prequels. Or else you just happen to be a different sort of Star Wars fan. I'm not gonna say nobody's a fan, but they are seeing a totally different saga than a lot of other people did. And it's not the same Star Wars. It's not good Star Wars. It's lame.
