Of the prequels, I actually thought Ep.1 was the best. It's not good, but of the three at least it had some imaginatively done scenes, and the battle at the end was spine chilling with the choir as musical backdrop. By contrast Ep.2/3 are just childish. Notice the formula - a scene with nothing but effects, then a scene with 3 or 4 people talking, then another scene with nothing but effects, then a scene with 3 or 4 different people talking, back and forth over and over (did anyone else notice that?). And the dialogue got worse and worse, the acting more and more painful, and the story became a laughable mess. In fact people did laugh in the theaters I went to, and not when they were supposed to.

And they missed the boat with Yoda's fighting. I was expecting a master of efficiency - a step here and a step there, a few perfectly timed subtle moves and the enemy is brought down. Instead he was like the old Daffy Duck films, rebounding off everything.
