They movie was littered with plot holes and poor tie-ins to the OOT. Plus the acting was terrible, the story was contrived and stupid, and the CGI looked terrible and there was tons of pointless characters (General Grevious) and poor pacing.

I think ROTS has two things going for it, and this isn't a defense of the movie. TPM & AOTC are so bad, ROTS looks like gold next to those two movies. Even when the reviews came out last May, everyone heralded it as the best of the PT, Lucas finally got it right, so it got pumped up so much cause it is so much better than the first two PT movies.
It will always be tied to the OT because this is really the PT story, and should have been fleshed out over two movies, and TPM & AOTC should have been combined as the first prequel.
As for everything you say B.A. Keith:
Plot Holes? I agree, especially Leias memories of her mom
Poor Tiesins to the OT? I agree, but that started with Anakin building C-3PO in TPM, so by ROTS, I was used to that shit.
Acting Terrible? I agree, except for McGregor, he was great through the PT. Christenson & Portman, UGGGH!
Contrived Plot? I agree, the turn is the dumbest plot point and totally ruins the PT. All for a dream? How come Anakin didn't ask Palpatine, "How do you save people, can you atleast give me an explanation?" He just follows him blindly, and looks like an idiot.
Overuse of CGI? I agree. Just watch parts of all 6 movies, and the OT movies feel real with real models and real locations (Endor, Tatooine, Hoth). The only setting that felt real in the PT was Tatooine, cause that is the only part Lucas didn't shoot in Bluescreen.
Pointless Charaters? I agree, Grevious was bad, and someone get him some Robitusson!
