I don't hate the prequels but I do believe their delivery could have been much better had they not been so mechanical in nature. The ONLY one that has a bit of natural feel to it is TPM.....the other 2 are simply way too digital and character development seems stifled by it.
They could have been much more even if the story lines stayed the same...case in point....Mace Windu. Samuel Jackson delivered his lines like a wookie in ewok undergarments and ended up looking like a wussy dressed like a Jedi and that was sad.
Impressive effects, unimpressive dialogue and story movement.
