Opinions on the Star Wars prequels

Given all the hype about the new movie I don't think we've had a discussion here on the prequel trilogy, I'm honestly curious to see what people thought.

I actually think Episode 3 was almost as good as the original trilogy. Its of course the best of the prequels by a longshot, but I also think even ignoring that its a pretty good movie on its own. There are a lot of cool moments in this film and the acting is a large step above the previous.

Episode 1 I have a soft-spot for because I saw it back in 1999 when I was a kid. Back then I didn't realize what was bad about it, I just liked it because...Star Wars. That being said it has two great characters Qui-Gon and Darth Maul that makes me come back to it more often than not. I also think the climax 3-way battle is pretty cool.

Episode 2 is of course the worst of the bunch. Very boring movie besides the final action scene. I think if it wasn't for Episode 2 the prequels wouldn't be as hated as they were.
