The Star Wars prequel trilogy has gotten lots of criticism. How much of it is warranted? Do you agree or disagree?

Dreadful.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

My perspective is they're good in their own ways.

This time I completely disagree with him, especially on AOTC : it's not a "normal" blockbuster at all.
There is nothing normal about that movie, it's one of the strangest things I've ever seen in theatres.

Honestly, him rambling on about Christopher Lee "being like Dracula again!" Dude, we get to know almost nothing about Dooku's character. Rolfe is focusing purely on the visual look, and showing he's just a fanboy (in this case, of Lee and the Hammer horror films) and is thus willing to ignore other issues.

"Rolfe is focusing purely on the visual look"
This is absurd too for me : they look horrible !!! It's Play Station 2 level of graphics, at best !
I think he just wants to avoid trouble : so many dumb kids are re-evaluating those horrible movies, he doesn't want to alienate what potentially could be a new younger fanbase. Same with Channel Awesome

They are 'OK', but ok was never good enough for a mega-budget film with a huge fanbase and established lore.
