As a late millennial who was less than 10 when the (first two) prequels came out, and has now been an adult for roughly decade, I still maintain that the prequels are completely okay and I will die on that hill.
Yeah, Anakin was a whiny kid. So was Luke, so that's another thing they share in common. And his emotional instability set the stage for his turn to the dark side.
Could some things have been done better? Sure. But the prequels were still a really good political thriller/tragedy. Arguably even a masterpiece.
