Hardcore fans are a little too critical.

Say what you will about the prequels. I think hardcore fans are a little too dramatic about how bad they are.
The original Star Wars trilogy was a masterpiece and Lucas is a human being. A human being who just wants to make the best movies possible.
Sure he didn't need to make them. But, people wanted them bad enough that he made them for his fans.
These films aren't the Holiday Special at least. If you want true bastardization then that's the golden standard.
For me they were each enjoyable, especially if you like the originals. The scope and atmosphere of the prequels is better then most of the CGI garbage that tries to pass as a film. These films are epics. Sure they have flaws. But, the art direction and visuals alone are enough to admire them. I mean Darth Maul's double light sabre is a epic of epic epicness, I don't care what you say.
But, of course the originals are masterpieces, why the prequels are mostly entertainment.
