As you said earlier, people complain about the writing, and Lucas wrote the prequels. The visuals in the prequels were great. The action was great. The actors were good actors. The writing, though, stunk on ice.

I've agreed with every one of your posts until this one. The visuals in the prequels weren't great. A ton of the CGI served no purpose beyond cluttering up the screen. It's like the Special Editions with how Lucas had to just add in random stuff all over the place just because. The entirety of the prequels was soulless, and the writing just happens to be the worst of it all. The action also wasn't that great, mostly due to the aforementioned CGI. All of it lacked subtlety. And the actors, unfortunately, weren't great by virtue of the horrible writing. They didn't have a chance to be great or show their greatness. The acting was terrible, and I blame that almost entirely on the script and director.
