Why the hate?

Why does everyone seem to say that '90 is a let down to the whole series, and even in some cases the film?

I thought it showed the end of a very sorry tale, and really in some ways, the beginning of some of their lives (having children, going to college, learning to forgive, finding jobs) in a very realistic way, and having grown up in these times myself, around similar people, and in some cases similar situations, I found it to be a very realistic portrayal of life around the late '80's, early '90's of British youth.

I liked it on the whole, the Madchester and rave scenes in the first couple of episodes especially.

I liked how most of the characters started to find their footing in life and seemed genuinely happy at the wedding reception, my only complaint, and it is a minor one, is there was no resolution between Gadget and Kelly. I don't mean I wanted them to get together (that would have been too predictable) but it would have been nice if there had been a scene where they made up after their big falling out. They had some great moments together in the series, especially when he comforted her in the morning after the party.
