I liked the settings. Naboo was beautiful and Star Wars hadn't yet seen a truly beautiful world. Coruscant as one giant metropolis was amazing, and the ocean world, mountain world, and lava world were pretty cool too. Actually, Force Awakens really fell short of the prequels in this regard. All the worlds they visited (except the very last one) felt like reruns.

The lightsaber fights were pretty cool, except when they did the stupid strobe lighting and just going back and forth to close ups of their faces. Phantom Menace had probably the best lightsaber fight in the series. And throw me out of town for this, but I actually liked watching Yoda fight.

The music was not as memorable as the originals, but still better than most any other movie. I still hum the Anakin Padme love theme or Duel of the Fates.

Unlike many Star Wars fans I actually like the prequels. I've watched them many times and will watch them again.
