As for Star Wars, I thought Phantom Menace and Sith were ok. Although some people think of TPM as slow and boring, I think that's better than a bunch of video game action scenes that don't seem to make much sense but look really cool. Clones is without a doubt the worst Star Wars film because for one thing, it's too confusing. I'm still not completely sure why there was an assassination attempt on Padme. And there are all these battles and fights and I have no idea who's fighting who and what the point is. At least I understood what Lucas was trying to do with the romance scenes. They fall in love even though its forbidden.
And the other thing the prequels had going for them was the set designs, costumes and concept art. I thought those were much better than the original films. The base on Hoth looked like it had plastic walls, not carved out of real ice. And cloud city was visually boring, something the SE actually improved. Jabba's lair didn't feel much like a palace.
