I too realised that the films just aren't very good on re-watching them as an adult. The new films are not good in a different way though.

There was never even an attempt at a cohesive story, let alone a single vision for the sequels. It was given to different writers and directors who all had free reign for their projects and took them in different directions. They weren't just "not good", they were a mess.
