I think bashing ROTJ is a tired cliche...
a lot of inventing faults that weren't there...
It's a great film like the other two and I wish people would stop perpetuating the myth that it's the bad one in the trilogy.
As much as you may not care to hear it or accept it, there are some people who genuinely disliked Return when they saw it in the theater, myself among them. We felt every bit as let down by it as you do by the prequels.
Our thoughts aren't cliche, they aren't invented, nor is our view a myth. For a great many people, the story & style of Return fits better with the prequels than they do with the first two films. That's been clearly demonstrated here and backed up with examples - not tired cliches.
I explained my thoughts here;

Truthfully, when this came on the screen...
...it was all I could do to keep from walking out of the theater.
