As I recall, while I was actually watching Episode I, it seemed really 
cool. I was just sort of swept along with it. And the credits started 
rolling and I was like "oh. Wait... that's IT? Oh, um, OK, I guess we 
*have* been sat here a long time... Hmm, I was expecting... more."

And by the time I'd got home, it just seemed that the film depicted a 
more or less random series of "happenings", with no real progress had 
been made. Oh well.

Watching it again since, it seems less entertaining each time I see it. 
The later films are much worse.

Episode I gave us Duel of the Fates, which makes everything else almost 
forgiveable. It also gave us Jar Jar Binks, which is simply unjustifiable.
