re: At what point during your first viewing of The Phantom Menace did you realize it sucked?

My kids wanted to see TPM. Star Wars came out when I was in junior high and I loved the original trilogy so I was looking forward to taking them. I fell asleep halfway through. I slogged through the next one (AotC?). Never made it to the third one.
Rarely have I ever had movies make such little impact. Even the shitty movies I've seen I can recall plot points or dialogue - or at least the reasons I thought they sucked. TPM and the next ones were so dreadfully tedious and boring; to this day I can't recall a single thing from them. Even reading y'all's recounts doesn't jog a single memory of that dreck.
