I love RLM reviews, but they do hold the prequels to high standards and, implicitly, let the original trilogy off for the same crimes, ie plot holes, poor character decisions, etc.

Yeah, I agree. Not defending the movie, but this whole thing smacks of a nerd pushing his glasses up his nose and saying, "Well, actually."

Star Trek: The Trouble with Trials

No, there are most definitely still nerds.
