They had potential and they had some good ideas. Shifting the story from Mythic Space Opera to Cosmic Sword and Sandal Epic could've made for a really good story. Also, they had a good villain in the form of Darth Maul, who served well as a Proto-Darth Vader. Ewan McGregor did a good job playing a young Obi-Wan and seeing the Jedi Order in full swing was pretty awesome.
With a few re-writes and fewer nods to the original trilogy (we did not need C3PO and Bobba Fett is still the most over-rated character in the series) it could've stood a chance.

Even if you hate the prequels, there is a bright side. The prequels game us Star Wars: Republic Commando.
The music, the visual design, every second Ewan McGregor was on screen (that guy is awesome), every single fight-scene (wether they be dogfights, blaster-duels, lightsaber duels or plain force duels). The story is OK too.
Oh did I mention John Williams' music was awesome?

As some people have pointed out Natalie Portman. Also Darth Maul was pretty cool (well until he got cut in half, getting cut in half is so not cool).
I think the only really redeeming thing I found about them though is watching Anakin's decent into madness. Sure it could have been done better but after re-watching the films back to back that was the only thing that really stuck out to me.

I am seriously willing to excuse the re-release of episode one because of Liam Neeson. And that is the only reason.Ordinaryundone said:
There are so many wrong things in the prequels I could talk about them for hours.....so I'll just let Mr Plinket talk for me instead.
If you've never seen the Redlettermedia.com Star Wars reviews.....well, have you been living under a rock? They are brilliant and VERY funny. The Yatzhee of movies.

Qui Gon Jinn is the sexiest Jedi ever.
But everyone always focused on Obi-Wan Kenobi as being cool and all that. And sure, he was more talented. But what happened to Qi Gon was devastating. I was so sad at the end of the first movie. Aside from the last battle of Luke versus his father, I don't think I've ever been so emotional in a Star Wars movie.
Oh Qui Gon, I'll always miss you. And you're still my favourite Jedi. I haven't discovered any others I like more, actually. Then again, I'm not knee deep into the Star Wars fandom. It's massive and overwhelming.
I'm usually into androgyny, but this is definitely my idea of a sexy manly man.
Not that "hugely overmuscular meathead" thing. Western gamers say they love manly men, so what do they all look like bodybuilders in their twenties? Now that's a "manly" man who looks incredibly sexy, in my opinion. Much better than those stupid meatheads.

The light saber fighting in the prequels far surpasses the duels in the original trilogy.
The music is brilliant as ever.
CGI is obviously better than it was back when the originals where made.
Liam Neeson
and JarJar has united the fan base under a single banner of hatred.

Anakin at the end of Episode III saying "I HATE YOU!" was one of the most emotional moments in the trilogy.
THEN the critic in me jumps out and has to point out how stupid the whole thing was because Obi-wan didn't do anything to deserve that. So once again, the dialogue is forced.
