Tell me just one bad thing about the prequels that isn't muh dialogue or muh bad cgi

Ewan's wig and/or fake beard in the pickup shots for 1 & 2. Even if those are your two favorite movies of all time, you can't defend that.

The entire point of the prequels should have been to make Anakin likable, so it would hurt when he turned evil.

Anakin was a whiny twat.

I could go on, for days, but I'm getting a headache even remembering how bad these fucking utter pieces of shit were.

Biggest disappointment of a major franchise in history, and maybe ever. A complete fucking fiasco.

Anakin's flip to the dark side is out of nowhere? I mean, the whole entire point of the prequels failed to deliver the thing it needed to do.

He's obsessed with finding the power to cheat death and then his mom gets raped to death by alien niggers, it's not out of nowhere, it's entirely logical

Your error is not realising that you probably hate the prequels because public consensus convinced you to. And this probably happened because you, on your own, have trouble determining and articulating what makes movies good or bad.
>>
>>66782358

You know "muh" is used to trivialise things, and makes your post seem like it's about mocking people who present the arguments you're putting forward, right? Like this is basic memery.

it's... everything? i'm probably going to sound like a RLM drone, but the problem with the sequels truly is everything.
there is no real hero in the three, i can't cheer for any of them. with the exception of qui gon jinn, none of the heroes are likable.
the stories are really boring, it's like george wrote the scripts immediately following politicial debates.
all of the films follow this sequence: exciting action scene -> boring dialogue -> exciting action scene -> boring dialogue. there's no time for any buildup in the story. if george could have, the movies would be 2 hours of CGI action scenes.
i'm probably only scratching the surface.

it was a story that wasn't like the original trilogy! lucas sucks donkey balls
>>
>>66781797
what's the point of inviting critique and then disqualifying critiques of one of the most fundamental elements of the movie that happens to be insanely flawed?

Also, the stories are a mess and the characters are unrelatable.
>>
>>66781797

aotc was fucking garbage

and i love 1 and 3 simply because of muh nostalgia
>>
>>66781797
The script and how every plot progression and character action makes no sense.

Fuck you. Fuck you and everybody who thinks this is a good defense to use in any argument.

bad costumes
bad characters/characterization (bad writing of characters)
bad acting
bad editing
bad cinematography
bad choreography (not unimpressive but no rhyme or rhythm to it - lightsaber duels don't build or change in tension. It's like a cool dance that stays the same from beginning to end)
illogical plotting in all 3 movies
unfunny comic relief
retconning the mysticism of the force that tied it with classical western fairy tales and fantasy

there is nothing redeeming about them other than midly entertaining video game simulation scenes like the one you posted
