No, they really aren't. They are terrible, terrible films. The only thing they did well was pander to nostalgia near the end of ep 3.

The transformation of Anakin to Darth Vader and the buildup of the empire was such an opportunity to tell an epic story. But they missed the mark on pretty much everything.

I hope one day someone has an opportunity to re-tell that story with a much darker and more mature vision (not to mention halfway decent writing, directing, and acting), so the prequels can pretty much be removed from history.
