I saw it 3-4 times & then got it on VHS.  I was 13 & I tried my damnedest to like it.  Then I realized that I never once watched the VHS.  It just sat there.  I slowly realized how much I was lying to myself and thought maybe the next one would be better, until I heard the title.  

Then I saw Attack of the Clones for the first and last time.  The diner scene, Jango Fett, the Lars backstory, the love sequences, the Yoda lightsaber battle, & then the coup de grace of the twist of Dooku getting the Death Star plans to the separatists.  

Then I saw Revenge of the Sith.  It was out for a few weeks, but I figured I might as well go see it.  That first scene with that battle & then Anakin beheading Dooku was laughable.  Everything about Anakin was laughable.  Ewan McGregor turned in his best performance, although he lost it a couple times.
