Christensen wasn't the problem with the prequels, IMO. It was the script/direction. When I did the marathon before TFA, I kept noticing during the prequels that there are decent movies hidden in there, and I think that's something that's lost when you're not watching them for ~9 hours straight. Christensen had really good chemistry with McGregor and McDiarmid, but literally none with Portman, which is a problem given how much focus Lucas ended up giving to Anakin's relationship with Padme.
I think the biggest issue with the prequels was that they shot themselves in the foot by keeping Christensen away from actors with whom he actually shared chemistry.
