Just try and watch till episode 5 if you do not get hooked after ep 5 it is not for you^^
If I have to watch five episodes to get interested, then the show's failed. The opening should be the most important part, and if it doesn't bring the good stuff and get me hooked on it, why should I expect it to get better later?
That being said, I thought the opening of Attack on Titan was okay, but it didn't really get me to give a shit about any of the characters. Which, when I thing about is probably why you thought it was a joke. Hella melodrama with characters that you don't like / can't take seriously certainly seems like a big joke.
As for the end of the episode, yes, I know it's his mother, and no-one likes to see a mother get killed, but if she's been only be on screen for one / two scenes, you can't really care too much about her.
I would have cut the opening scene entirely, and just had a scene with the mother telling him about the walls and shit as a little kid instead. Yeah, it's a bit generic, but it gets the job done.
