Mainly, like the other prequels, it sucked all the excitement and adventure out of Star Wars. George forbid a Star Wars movie be any fun for anyone.

Also, the entire movie is a bad Sega Dreamcast cutscene.

People like it because “it’s dark.” I kinda get that. “Dark” movies can be good, but this one is just so needlessly dark and that just makes the whole thing dull.

Grievous is stupid.

Many other things I’m too lazy to type.

It is, however, my favorite prequel. This is because things actually occasionally happen in this one. Nothing happens in TPM, nothing happens in AOTC.

That said, I’ll still probably never watch it again. The only prequel I own is AOTC because my sister got it for me when I was younger and I rewatch it when I can’t sleep hoping it’ll bore me to sleep but, alas, it never works as I spend the whole time angrily pointing out the innumerable flaws.
