A friend of mine's reaction to the second was "if I wanted to listen to teenage angst, I would have stayed home" (she had three teenagers at the time). I've often said that Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog was a much, much better explanation of how someone who is basically good turns to evil. My reaction at the end of Dr Horrible was "Wow", my reaction at the end of Revenge of the Sith was "Really?" It's not a coincidence that I've seen the second two only the once.

Those are exactly my thoughts. I did like the second prequel even better than the first, but not the third. The reason being that the transformation of Anakin was not at all psychologically believable. Yes, it's science fiction, so perhaps I'm asking too much... but I was very disappointed with the third prequel.
