Yeah I agree. Most people didn't have stellar performances despite being strong actors in the PT, though honestly I've thought that of Star Wars overall.

Hayden had lousy material to work with and not enough leverage to make his own Anakin, just the one Lucas wanted him to play. He's okay. Shattered Glass was pretty good, Jumper... nah... soso...
But hey, Mark Hamill didn't become a great star either. So I hope Hayden gets to do something that suits him and where he is able to show what he can do. I don't think SW gave him much room.

I thought he was bad. I'm sure Lucas is to blame as well but he's the reason I lost respect for Vader the villain. Sometimes well most times mystery is better.

I actually enjoyed his ROTS performance, though I'm probably the minority on that...
Not gonna bother defending his AOTC performance though.

Hehehe... but even in ROTS his material was limited. I wonder was his instruction was: be angry, very angry, all the time... even when people make a joke, you're angry.... ("But why??? Why am I angry???" - "Just do as I say! But more intense.")
It had its high points and low points. I thought it was as good as it could possibly be in RoTS. Despite the flaws in AoTC, it was no worse than Mark Hamill's acting in ANH.

how could anyone read that crap out loud and make it not suck?

He was like 21. And don't knock that line. That bit of dialogue is one of the funniest things in the PT.
