I don't hate the prequels... but there's so much to dislike.
One thing that really bugged me was that they didnt really feel like they took place before A New Hope. I remember watching something where they showed how they used 1940's and 50's streamlining and even Art Deco architecture to help influence the design of buildings and vehicles in the prequels. I thought that was quite clever at the time. When I saw the films I never quite got that feeling. I went away thinking everything seemed a lot newer and more advanced than the original films.
Also, its really odd watching the prequels knowing what is coming. I spent much of the films wondering how they were going to weave certain things into the storyline.
It must be so different watching them in chronological order if you've never seen the original films before.
