I was never hyped for the Prequels (I always wanted the Sequel Trilogy), so I had NO where the expecations many fans did.

I wasn't disappointed, as I thought it was OK. It was cool that Star Wars was back in the spotlight again and I have to say it was surreal when the Opening Crawl came on screen and I was seeing a SW movie as an adult for the first time.

The ironic thing is that TPM is probably the most 'Star Wars-Like' movie out of the PT. AOTC & ROTS take themselves way too seriously where TPM atleast tried to duplicate the spirit of the OT. Now stuff like Jar Jar, Jake Lloyd, and many needless plots bogged down the movie, but it is interesting to compare it to the other 2 prequels now, and how I actually think it holds up better then them.
