-Star Wars Prequel Trilogy 8.5/10

Ha. Sorry I can't come up with a better comment, but you can't be serious. Those were the biggest piles of feces I have tried to sit through. Horrible acting, horrible dialog, I hate the new fangled special effects, irritating characters.... no one has seen the third one yet, but if it is anything like the past two, it will be pure crap.
I did enjoy the original ones though. [/b][/quote]
To each their own... The acting was terrible, but that has been a knock on every single Star Wars movie. The action, and the story are what I enjoy about the prequels. Annoying characters? Nobody was more annoying than Luke in Episode IV...
I think the reason people don't like them is because the Star Wars universe as they grew up knowing it wasn't really touched in the prequels, it didn't have that "Feel" the Original trilogy had. But what you have to understand to enjoy the prequels is that the Star Wars universe as you knew it growing up "The Empire" up to Episode II wasn't even there yet. In Episode I we had those gay looking Yellow air plane starships, no X-wings or tie fighters, we had Droid army's instead of Stormtroopers.
The prequels should be looked at and enjoyed seperately from the Originals up until Episode III where everything will just "Take place exactly as I had forseen it"
I used to be the same way in regards to the Prequels and I actually didn't even watch them for over a year and a half but recently watched them again and what used to be a 7/10 I see them as 8.5/10.
I don't know if you care about spoilers or not, but you should read the Episode III novelization... a great read and it may very well at least a tad make you enjoy the prequels more. Everything just "Fits" now.
*shrug* I enjoy 'em
