o_O Mind boggling

Rating: 1/10 (17 February 2012)

As a first time Star Wars watcher I wanted to get to know what all the actual fuss was about; so I decided I would test the water out and watched this at a free screening (midnight) and this is my conclusion:
The characters are barely even 1 dimensional, their dialog laughable and make you cringe or want to laugh, they look pretty in costumes you'd find in Asia and the Middle East - nice to know aliens find Asian and Arab clothing suitable for space travel!
The concept is stiflingly boring and slow not to mention painfully WOODEN in performance; while the over all story - was there a story?
I thought I would get some insight into what all the fuss is about but after walking out - I still don't know what all the fuss is about or why this would beat say The Matrix, LOTR, or just about ANY sci fi movie made in my life time.
I went in hope for some answer but I came out not even caring anymore about my own questions like;
Who are the Jedi, why should I care about them at all?
Is a Sith a Jedi just in black and emo? Or just aliens with better agility and didn't get into the 'popular' boys club?
Why are all the Jedi and Sith MEN?
What's the significance of the color differences in the glowing laser stick things - do they signify anything or rank?
Why are children running PLANETS?!I mean I know gifted but I seriously doubt that a preteen ( and hormonal no doubt ) would be running a town let alone a PLANET - and they were ELECTED too!
Oh God I could go on but this movie was just a comedy. I seriously do not understand how this is a prequel to ANYTHING.
There is something that really got me cracking up though; there is a NASCAR/Gprix element to this movie that I found utterly BOOOORING and frankly farcical - clearly this was done BEFORE Fast and Furious because I was literally thrashing my seat with the boredom and the lack of creativity in that entire sequence!
There also a lot of clearly intoxicated or drugged aliens in this movie that annoyed me to know end but they were like a cross breed between a rabbit and duck and a hum,an hybrid - sooooooo annoying!
All in all this was a godawful movie. I do not understand what the fuss was about back when my great grandmother was my age; or why my mom insisted I go see this - it's AWFUL. I don't get it. But apparently there are SIX of these ?! And people complain about the Twilight watchers?! I think this ranks right beside the Twiligh series. None of EITHER party knows what a good sci fi is!
I don't get how George Lucas would think anybody in our day and age or generation would like this crap; when we have soooooo many other superior sci fi movies that pop up ever other year or so. Ridiculous. I don't get the concept and I wasn't intrigued enough to watch the others when they get released, and I most likely won't...this is just a fan thing I think. I don't think George Lucas is for our generation to be honest - he should stop while he 's still ahead.
Overall - I am very happy I didn't lose any money watching this. It's sooo not worth it.
