Now I remembered we already had exactly same debate year or so back and I got the very same suggestions. I would say PT has better CGI than all of those. Of course at this point it will be just my opinion against yours.

Having recently rewatched both The Lord of the Rings and the Star Wars prequels, both on BD… The Lord of the Rings has held up considerably better. Heck, The Lord of the Rings actually had overall more convincing CGI and effects than The Hobbit, which other than the Smaug scenes never really impressed all that much.

Anyway, topic… By far the main thing that sticks out to me is Starkiller Base. I could accept all the other callbacks, references and homages to the original trilogy… but having the climax being a battle against a planet-destroying super-weapon for the third time… Yeah no. Thankfully we at least had a pretty decent lightsaber fight (that actually felt like a fight) going on at the same time. There’s also Rey being a little bit too awesome, though at least that didn’t make me immediately shake my head the second it came up the first time I saw the movie.
