What was the "fatal flaw" of the Prequels if you think they sucked? (aka. Let's take a break from hating on the blu-rays)

No, the lack of eyebrows really is a WTF moment.  When human characters get introduced in movies, they tend to have eyebrows, even if they're big freaky old man eyebrows like Sebastian Shaw's.  Every now and then a human character may not have eyebrows, but I'm really having a hard time thinking of one, and I'm willing to bet it comes along with an explanation.

Even my sister has alopecia ariata and she's got SOME eyebrows.  The WTF would come even if I'd never seen Jedi before, trust me.

EDIT: Back on topic, though, the fatal flaw was that they were so TEDIOUS.  The only parts I remember were the parts where the tedium became so unbearable that I actually remarked on it out loud while watching the movie.  The racing scene in TPM and the big lizard scene in AOTC are pretty much all I recall due to their extended terribleness, the latter of which I actually walked out of the theatre and PRETENDED to go to the restroom just so that I could come back when it was over.
