Notice how Star Wars receives so many votes, yet most people would agree that half of the movies for it are bad. Namely, the prequel series. This is largely just a bandwagon issue that rose up in the early months after Episode 1 came out because of several factors, one of which being the fact that the movie hardly ever has Darth Maul in it, even though it's named "The Phantom Menace" (logic thrown out the window, much). Others include general issues that people unfairly place on Episodes 2 and 3, but should be applied to Episode 1.
