The Star Wars Prequels were significantly inferior to the Star Wars original trilogy

I do apologize with the "I felt" statements. That is more of a force of habit for me than me implementing my opinion. Either way what I said I supported with facts from the movies. As from the story, yes that was of course what the prequels did at their most generalized definition. What I am saying is that the way they went about telling the story was at a much lower level than the original trilogy. Although I haven't seen the Bond or Thor movies, I have seen Iron Man, and I disagree. Tony Stark is someone that is completely unrelatable at the beginning of the movie yes, but that's ok for two reasons. One being there are people around him that we can relate to, and who have a significant part in the movie, and two because he grows as a person throughout the movies, while still retaining his bad***, sarcastic, super computer type of personality that is just fun to watch. We still care about what's going on, and the characters, particularly Stark, are interesting enough that they are entertaining to watch. I'm sure similar conclusions can be drawn from the other movies you listed. The problem in the prequels is that nothing at all is relative, and no character is interesting. This is not opinionated unless the person watching is a cult member, or a homicidal maniac. In addition, I had already said that relatability was something required in adventure movies where the audience cannot relate to anyone else but the protagonist. Would anyone honestly care about two ruthless, emotionless, repulsive looking alien armies with two alien "heroes" leading each one on a planet across the galaxy? People already have trouble caring about many of the conflicts going on right now, such as Syria, because they don't feel like they can relate to the population of the countries fighting. I think you missed my point of the converting Luke situation. The fact that they almost were able to convert Luke justifies they're attempt. It was clearly possible for them to convert him, so why wouldn't they have tried? Overall conclusion: Plot: The issue with the plot is that we cannot relate to anything. We wouldn't even care much about anything if we hadn't already seen the characters. Anakin is at best only relative in part of the second movie, and no one else shows any emotion, which in these movies is, apparently and unfortunately a requirement. While the movies tell an interesting story, they do so in the most bland way possible, in that they didn't give anything or anyone any depth. Because we don't care about the clones, droids, naboo, the Trade federation etc. everything about the movie suffers. The only interesting plot line with the only character that can be called relative, is buried under loads of crap that no one finds interesting. it may show us more of the universe, but that doesn't matter if the audience doesn't care about the universe. Characters: In the original trilogy we have it all. Interesting, relative characters with normal, human emotions that mirror our own throughout the situations they are in. The characters in the prequels certainly aren't interesting, as they are all just different physical representations of the same static character. They aren't normal through their cult-like actions, and they don't mirror the audience's emotions throughout the movie. because of this we cannot relate to anything that is going on, meaning we would not care about anything that is going on if they hadn't already known the characters. This means that watching these movies without ever having seen the original trilogy, would result in a static, boring viewing experience. Relatability is something seen in any major adventure film because it is needed. If we can't relate, we can't care. if we don't care, then we never feel any tension. If we don't feel tension, then there is no interest. It doesn't matter what cool battles there are, or how many planets we see, or what we leaned about the force. As a trilogy that stands alone the prequels just don't come up to par with even the worst of the originals because all they contain is empty action sequences, along with boring political debates. As a final piece of consideration, I would like to present review scores for the six movies. These scores are averages from IMDb, Metacritic, and Rotten Tomatoes, which are themselves averages of a large pool of reviews from normal people. This is to show that people who are not critics had similar viewing experience as I did. All scores are out of 100.
