Where did you see that? Of the 3 movies of the new trilogy it was the one 
that had the best reviews (see the Wikipedia article and the IMDB and 
RottenTomatoes ratings for instance).

In any case Warp is right, the problem with these movies were not that they 
sucked: the whole Star Wars franchise is a tribute to the cheesy serials 
from Lucas' childhood after all, so the suckage was built-in, from Darth 
Vader to Jar-Jar. It was that the fans expectations were impossible to meet. 
The material was cheesy from the very start, but it didn't look that way 
when the fans were little kids in the 80s. The new movies are cheesy too, 
but the fans grew up...
