I did go to the midnight show of all three.  Three midnight shows, three cruddy mornings, three big disappointments.
I thought Revenge of the Sith was pretty good.
It was trash Tim. TRASH.


And I went because it was just a custom for us to hit the midnight shows of the big movies.  See the weirdos in costume, avoid the obnoxious teenybopper crowd.
PDH!

Btw, my first thought at reading the topic title was the Al Yankovic song:

Far more entertaining then the film itself.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Went to see it a week or so after it was released.  My expectations were so low after seeing the previews + spotting a Jar Jar poster at Walmart, that it slightly exceeded my expectations.  It was still a disservice to the original trilogy, of course.

Just before I saw the movie, I saw the Backstreet Boys coming out of an early screening saying it was the best movie ever made, and if you didn't go see it a bunch of times you were crazy. It actually got my hopes up, despite all the bad reviews I had read. Seeing the movie was the moment the Backstreet Boys lost all credibility with me.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

This is a joke right?  Boy Bands have credibility?
PDH!

I'm not saying it was good, but it was at least as good as the original three.

Flay him alive!

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Woah.  You must really really hate the original three.

It is a true story, but yes, I wrote the credibility part as a joke.

I don't really care about them but they weren't that good. Story was meh and acting horrible in all of them. At least the later ones had better effects.
