One of the things people find objectionable about the prequels is the lack of any central protagonist and its moral relativism.

Anakin is supposed to be the hero but he is not even remotely likable nor are the other cardboard cutout or cgi characters in those movies.

yep.

its one thing to say characters cannot be one way or another - but the characters in the PT have no depth and are not remotely compelling (except maybe palpatine).

Forget being a hero - Anakin is supposedly this great once in a lifeltime talent - but only because other characters keep saying so, not because of anything we see (in TPM, we see that he's handy but nothing that shows he has special powers except for that silly scene with Mace Windu testing him).

Watch a couple of the x-men movies or Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind and then compare it to the PT.
