Sure they have problems, but they're all at least solid 7/10 movies imo. Let's face it, fanbases tend to be filled with whiny babies that complain if something doesn't match their crazy high expectations or if something is too different. All the big series have suffered because of that, Star Wars with the prequels and now the sequels, Lord of the Rings with The Hobbit, Harry Potter with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. |
I rewatched the prequels (and all the other movies) this weekend with my mates as prep for The Last Jedi, and they definitely aren't 7/10 movies. They are perhaps 5/10 movies, ie. wholly mediocre. They have some nice moments, but it's riddled with bad dialogue that kills the importance of almost any situation.
They aren't crap movies, and they don't deserve all of the hate they get, but don't cut them too much slack.
As for The Last Jedi, I think it did bring some important development, but it did have some flaws as well. Partly, it tries to tell a bit too much. All in all, I did enjoy it though.
