I think most reviewers agree that this is a better film than the three prequels that Lucas put out - see rottentomatoes as evidence to this effect. Return of the Jedi was the weakest of the three original movies - I just rewatched the three originals this past weekend - and actually I would reverse my stance on the original - it was rewatchable surprisingly.
Lucas' indictment on Hollywood where he made his billions is a bit laughable. He's a terrible director and the prequels episode 1-2-3 were unwatchable. I actually walked out of the Phantom Menace - one of the only times I've walked out on a film it was so obnoxiously bad. And I sat through "I Spit on Your Grave."
This is the typical summer blockbuster released over Christmas to make a killing at the box office where there are no other big blockbusters. This is a blockbuster spectacle based movie - it's no deeper or shallower than any of the previous entries. Star Wars never was - for that Star Trek the TV series was vastly more thought provoking.
Not sure what you were expecting from a Star Wars movie - high expectations is a mistake from such kinds of movies. For what it is it's well done - and like the original 3 films doesn't get bogged down by long tedious senate discussions and lack of character development.
The review that summed up the Phantom menace and the prequels to a tee.
