I keep hearing this, but I couldn't make it past the first season. I wanted to see a story about the Clone Wars, not the adventures of Anakin and his annoying brat. Not to mention they turned Grievous into the pathetic cowardly waste of CGI he is in the movie.

I really don't get the hate people have for the prequels though. Sure, the first one is not a very good movie, but people treat it like it completely destroyed their Star Wars universe. The second and third ones had great action scenes, music, and effects, which is what Star Wars was built upon. Except for Obiwan and Palpatine, the characters are pretty one dimensional, but what do you expect out of a prequel? The whole purpose is to get from nowhere to A New Hope, so it has to follow a set road to make sure everything fits into place. Thus, there is not going to be any suspense because you already know how the thing is going to end.

I'm not saying the prequels are good movies, but I feel like they are unfairly criticized when their only job was to set up the original trilogy and that is exactly what they did.
