This may come as a huge shock, but I never said the PT was perfect, nor do I think that they are. Just that some of the criticisms are a tad over the top....such as "GL rage quits Hollywood."I'm not going to lose my cool over it anymore though. I'm putting my little tirade about it behind me and moving on. I was asked not to derail threads, and was trying my best to honor that.
I cant believe that people are STILL hounding you about this. Damn its been going on for over a year.
reversal of blame for the win

SMX and I used to ***** at each other so much about the PT back in the day but now I watch them and have fun every time because I think they're hilarious which subsequently made him and I come to terms about their overall value.
Which series can anyone point out where the 4th, 5th and 6th were actually anywhere near as good as the Originals?
If you compare the Prequels to say Terminators 3 and 4, Spider-man 3, Star Trek 5 & 6, Matrix 3 e.t.c e.t.c then yeah Lucas did a much much better job with the Prequels than we realistically should have expected.
I'll take any of the Trek films over any of the Prequels, any day.
I'll also take Rocky IV, V, and Balboa over the Prequels.
Also Rambo.
Also Terminator Salvation.
Also Saw.
A lot of those films kinda sucked, but the Prequels blew chunks on an entirely different level. The stupendous level of f*ck up and boring they possess can't be overstated.

I think you have horrible taste in films. I also think you're trying to rustle some jimmies.
I'm sure anyone watching those films and the SW Prequels without bias would put the Prequels wayyyy ahead of the rest.
Except perhaps the Rocky movies. But that's just apples and oranges.
Star Trek or Terminator series would be the better comparison, and no they don't compare to the Prequels in entertainment value.

I agree with all of this.

Lets not get hasty. The prequels sucked ass but they never so utterly disrespected the franchise like Generations did, or were as much of a mess as Final Frontier and Nemesis. Nor were there ever characters as infuriating as the Ba'ku in Insurrection.
Although I do agree with you on general principle.

"it wasnt as horrible as _____" is a poor defense imho.anyway, how much the PT did not suck relative to other films is way off topic. who put us here again?
DARTH POWER, who incidentally was wrong, since only the fifth Star Trek movie blew. 4 and 6 were pretty good.
All the TNG movies are bulbous throbbing pustules though.
