Yup.....hate Grievous....more than Jar Jar.

And I would say that I am of a very similar opinion anytime I watch a little piece of the PT here or there....it just doesn't seem salvageable. BUT then I remember the things Ady has told me he wants to do.....and I really have to say......if you don't think it can be made into a better, even watchable, film....then you're not thinking creatively enough......Ady is literally going to destroy these films, rip them apart, and use their guts to make something that doesn't even resemble what we had before. You need to deconstruct it more.....tear it down to its bare elements. Jar Jar can be used, because he can be re-dubbed....made to sound less ridiculous, and given new purpose. The battle droids and Neimoidians made to sound less comical and more menacing. Anakin made to sound less dorky (at first) and less whiny (later). Performances can be changed with new voiceover work. With a bit of editing character's motivations can be made to fit with their OT counterparts' actions and motivations better. New effects work can be implemented to change the meaning of sequences and make them feel more like a SW film, and not just some random Sci-Fi (yes, the OT was fantasy....but the PT was pure Sci-Fi).
