I was going to wait until January but my start date for training (3 months) was bumped up so I'm seeing it opening night with my son and then hitting a plane.
I'm one of you people now. 😩

Glad to see positive opinions but dont forget its still just a movie. Even if it totally delivers, its going to disappoint people with heaven-high unrealistic expectations.
I'm trying really hard to expect something mediocre.
I expect it to be good but pre-release impressions by enthusiasts and industry people - worth nothing.

Just went and bought Ep. IV-VI on blu ray. Going to watch them. So fucking pumped. Taking my mom and aunt to IMAX for their Christmas gift.
Just remember: the first screenings of Attack of the Clones created quite a lot hype.
There is no way this movie will be that bad.
Spielberg claimed that he cried in Revenge of the Sith. The man who made Schindler's List was supposedly moved to tears by hamfisted claptrap like "You're breaking my heart!"
Every single time one of the prequels came out there was this pre-release buzz about how much better the new one was going to be, and every time the new film was an absolute clunker.
I am surprised how willing people are to be suckered in yet again.
Just wait for the real reviews -- not Twitter buzz and "Oh some celebrity really liked it". Nobody in Hollywood is going to bash the shit out of somebody else's movie even when it's terrible.
Last time I checked, he wasn't necessarily crying due to overall quality of the film but rather being proud of Lucas.

I believe the quote he gave included an explanation for why he cried, where he made sure to point it out wasn't even so much the movie, but the knowledge that the Star Wars saga was ending and his friend George had basically gotten to do what he wanted to do.
edit: Marston got me.
"You'll cry at the end, it's wonderful.... I believe the emotions will come because the ending of this film will represent the ending to an entire saga." -- Spielberg on Revenge of the Sith
If his tears were only for a friend's personal triumph, then I'm not sure why he was boasting that others would be in tears as well.
The particulars are not really important - it's insane that anybody could come out of that movie claiming that people would be in tears over it.

Attack of the clones wasnt that bad
The first hour is
In fact the first hour of Attack of the Clones is what gave the prequels the bad name it has today

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Not only did he get misty-eyed at Revenge of the Sith, I'm pretty sure he had a lot of positive things to say about the Phantom Menace too.

So I want to see this on the biggest screen possible, but don't care for 3d. There's a couple theaters near me with RPX and dolby atmos, which seems it would be the best option. Has anyone here experieced RPX, dolby atmos, or both that can recommend if it is worth the extra money or not?
I'm watching SW on a 9,8m*22,7m=222,5qm screen (about 2,4k sq feet). Biggest screen I've ever seen.
I saw Age of Ultron with Dolby Atmos, I liked it and I'm seeing TFA in it too.
Dolby Atmos is excellent assuming the mix takes advantage of the format. Episode VII should be an excellent showcase for Atmos.

Attack of the Clones is a dumpster fire from beginning to end.
I thought the same but I watched it again last week, it wasn't that bad outside of the forced romance bullshit. Episode 1 is much worse, the acting alone is miles ahead in Ep 2 vs 1.
It had Jango, Jango is cool!
The only thing that would have made that dude cooler was silenced double blasters.

He should have also had a blaster attached to his asshole. Double shitting shooting action!

For what it's worth, I've only heard the same.

Were there bad reviews of Phantom Menace before it premiered?

any cool that jango brings to the table is wiped out by boba being just another clone
and he would've been much cooler if they never showed his face and he was just a menacing helmet like boba was
tl;dr boba was cooler

the other ones have been altered to be stronger, more fit, faster, etc.
him being unaltered just makes it that much more facepalmy.

But.... Bobba was not just a clone. He was the host clones kept son. Trained by Jango.... Right?

he was a clone that jango requested keep "natural" without the accelerated growth or any of that other stuff to keep as a son
How early do you guys think people should get to the theater and start lining up for those 7 pm opening day screenings? Maybe around 5 or would that be too late for me to get any good seats? My showing didn't have reserved seating
Call the theater and see when they're allowing people to lineup because those Thursday 7pm showings without reserved seating will be kinda insane. 5 will probably be too late to get a decent seat.
The closest IMAX has a showing at 7PM on the 17th, and I've got four tickets to take the family.
It's also my birthday.

Solid goalpost move, except you forget that he also has freewill.
He was Jango's unaltered clone and rasied as his son.
