Since when did ROTJ become less highly regarded than even Episodes II or III?

I think what it really comes down to is whether you are looking for the good or the bad when you're watching these movies.  With the prequels, the lameness tends to override the good parts when you are trying to enjoy them, but watching ROTJ, there is so much good here if you are looking for it and not ways to tear it down.

The thing is that it's cool while I'm watching it, but then if I start to analyze it after it's over, it just gets worse and worse as a film.

It's a fun film. It's not bad. It's certainly not worse than the prequels (though I can see where people would think that, considering it shares company with the two greats of the saga, which makes its flaws stand out more; whereas Clones and Sith share company with the heavily reviled prequels, which blunts the crappiness to a point), but the more you think about it and compare it to the other two films in the OT, the worse it seems.
