I was taken in by the special effects and amazing lightsaber duels in each film, not noticing the horrible dialouge and numerous plot holes they created. Now, I can't even stand to watch PM. AOTC is ok, but now I can't stand most of ROTS. (In fact, AOTC is probably the one in the PT I can find the most enjoyment in.)

I know exactly what you and Gaffer mean. I actually thought RotS was the best of the prequels the first time I saw it. Now I think its probably the worst when judged as an everyday movie. There is so much useless crap in that movie to sift through. What the hell was the plot? At least you could claim that Attack of the Clones tried to be a mystery/love-story despite totally failing with both. Though to the credit of Revenge of the Sith, it does actualy have some amazing sequences and by far the most moving dramatic moment in the PT at its end.
