I suppose I can sum up ROTJ in a word: competent. Most of it is overwhelmingly... competently done. The beginning is a train wreck. The end is exhilarating. Everything else in between is above average. Overall, it feels competent. Not great, not outstanding, but certainly competent. The problem only exists when you stack it next to the sheer awesomeoness of the first two films. It just can't measure up. But when Anchorhead said that he sees it more in line with the prequels, I have to say that it would have to stand out as a gem among them at least.

OH! HAD THE PREQUELS BEEN MERELY COMPETENT!!! WOE IS ME!
