I pretty much agree with your assessment of them, I think it's mostly 
that their mediocrity was disappointing since people liked the originals 
so much.  I hadn't heard the The Distresses Watcher's reviews, but I did 
greatly enjoy Plinkett's also over-the-top but very well thought out 
reviews of the prequels:

You've probably seen them, but if not they're worth a watch.
