tpm anakin was too annoying

is it just me or who thinks the same???
i mean must of the 10 year old actors annoy but this one was like the king of all annoying children actors.

no

I thought he was great.

He was good in some scenes, some scenes not. Watching the DVD extras, it looks like he was a major pain in the ass to work with.

True. Probably hold true for ALL kids though. Do you think GL wanted to hit him when he couldn't say 'Coruscant' right?

Mimnd you, I would have made the same mistake.

"Coriskant?"

I liked the look on Shmi's face. You could really tell she was fed up with little Ani's foul ups.

It's not like I would pronounce it

I thought he was great as well.

I agree with Jedi Fernando. That kid was even more annoying than Jar Jar, 10 times more... Naaa forget that 100 times more. When he screamed out yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee in his first scene, didn't it make you want to puke? Plus I know hes only a kid but surely with all there resources they could have found a better actor. I mean look at that Sixth sense kid, he got an oscar, didn't he?

Sixth Sense is not Star Wars

ok, they both can see dead people, but that's it

Halle Joel Osmand didn't win an Oscar, but he was nominated.

Anyway, wether you like Jake Lloyd or not, he's done, so we might as well move on.

Thank you for that word of wisdom ...tomacco
In this case......I agree 😉

My only exsistance is to make others wiser, Jules. Glad I could help. 😄

I have to agree too......He was a good actor, but he was so anoying....for me it looked like he thought that he was the king. He thought that he was better than the rest.....I didn`t like him.

He was perfect for that part. Haley Joel Osment was turned down and rightly so. He's not Anakin Skywalker.

no, like you said, his name is Haley Joel Osment

Thak you for clearing that up for us, Yerssot. 🙄

I thought he was annoying but some of the blame falls on Lucas, not Jake Lloyd. For example, when Anakin blew up the droid control ship, it was all an accident! WTF?!?!? That was so lame. It would have been much more exciting and true to Anakin's character if he had done it on purpose, with the help of the force. Or maybe we are to believe that the force makes things look like accidents....if so then Jar Jar is strong with the force!

But really, having such an important battle unfold as nothing more than slapstick comedy is just incredibly stupid. With all the CGI effects, the final space battle in TPM was not even half as interesting as the battle in ANH, or even some of the minor battles in ESB. There was no order to it, no suspense, no drama..only Anakin doing stupid stunts with his fighter and yelping and screaming. The cool thing about Star Wars has always been that it knew when to be serious and when to lighten up a bit, but TPM had it all wrong. Pathetic.

For example, when Anakin blew up the droid control ship, it was all an accident! WTF?!?!?

As Qui-Gon said "Nothing happens by accident" Anakin was meant to destroy the ship.

That was so lame. It would have been much more exciting and true to Anakin's character if he had done it on purpose, with the help of the force.

No it wouldn't. Anakin didn't know what he was doing but he still managed to destroy the ship and free the planet. That to me shows how strong he was with the force. It wasn't an accident it was fate.

having such an important battle unfold as nothing more than slapstick comedy is just incredibly stupid.

So there wasn't any slapstick in the OT? What about R2 accidently electrocuting himself in ESB? Or the way 3PO kept banging his head when he was on Chewie's back?
Or the end battle in ROTJ with the Ewoks and Chewie?

There has always been slapstick in Star Wars battles. Look at the way Boba Fett died.

The Indiana Jones films are filled with that type of humor.

You might think that is incredibly stupid but millions don't.

You forgot this one KJ
