Yeah, many of us might take our movies too seriously by some standards, but that comes with the territory on the RPF.
which makes it all the more confusing when folks don't get why others act the way they do...
With regard to the prequels... I think they where 60% good movies.
You needed better directing.
Better acting.
Slightly tighter scripts.
No aliens talking in controversial earth dialects...
and for gods sake make anakin likeable with a good actor so you feel sorry for him when he turns. not rooting for him to loose everything.
If they had fixed those problems, rather than have the yes man rick mcallum in charge kissing george's ass every step of the way..
they might have all of been as fun as Revenge of the Sith..

Franchises have high & low points. Some go up & down, others go down and never come back. It happens.
Right now is a crappy time to be an original GB fan. This will probably pass in a few years as the Feigbusters dust settles (and a sequel does not seem likely IMO, not without major changes.)
what they need is new people who UNDERSTAND what makes ghostbusters work. It's not so much about the ghosts, as it is the relationship between the characters.
They need someone willing to cultivate, expand and protect the brand.
It'd also help if they are generally a nice person and will stick up for the fan base....
that seems to happen less and less these days.
