if you include the tusken slaughter as part of anakin's reaction then it's a pretty powerful reaction i'd say.....i caught hayden on some soap opera once (weird, i don't watch tv much and i don't even know what the show was...total coincidence)....he was throwing furniture around and crying in some girl's bedroom....he was crying when he told padme about the slaughter, and he's crying (or close to it) in photo's i've seen of the new duel....this is what hayden does, and a big part of why he was chosen for the role....(not arguing a point, all of this just reminded me)......

and darth surgent, i agree and i've always said vader was luke's father right from the start.....he made up the leia sister thing at the end, but vader was always luke's father.....and it raised my eyebrows at the time, but in my subconscious i already knew from all the dropped hints (i was only about 7 - mind games still worked on me then)....

well then i stand corrected. anakin is a whiney b****.
obiwan should have slapped him clean across the face the first time anakin
every questioned him.

i agree....

powerful reaction in the idea... but in actions and acting, it was a poor representation of the idea for the most part.

just watch the death scene again... it's terrible!! that is NOT good acting.. i'm sorry.. it's just not.

blah blah blah I still think he is best for the role.

blah blah blah i still think he looks right for the role, but should've learned how to act first.

hayden is a good actor, ewan is a great actor.
in the PT they come off as pretty dry. even the attempts at humor
left me like "huh 😐" bad directing is to blame.

so dont be a hayden hater 😉

edit>>> ok, there WERE a couple of funny moments

example:
anakin "then we decided to come and rescue you"
obiwan "good job"

but most of their attempts at humor are just bland

when i say anakin is an annoying arrogant bastard in the prequels, i mean that in a good way(?).....i like that his character is flawed and enjoy watching him be a p***k....i don't think his acting is any worse than anyone else's in the film.

the one scene that stands out for me the most in the bad acting stakes, is obi wan and anakin's arrival in the elevator at the start of the film, and this is mostly ewan's shortfall, yet i know he's an excellent actor and has been pretty damn good in most other things i've seen, which suggests it's george's fault (too many coincidences - poor jake lloyd, he'll never work again).....

i like when anakin is winding obi wan up during the speeder chase, scaring the crap out of him and laughing. that's a great scene. what a p***k. and i like how he played the seduction of padme creepy instead of romantic. he's one sick puppy alright.

yeah, that elevator scene was just soooo sucky.
but like you said, ewan is an excellant actor. its just bad writing.

well I have some comments that natalie portman made yesterday she said that the duel between anakin and obi-wan is so violant and that people will love it for now may force be with you.

The Duel better be great and Lucas had better not cut away from it to show something else (maybe once early on, but then all action). That fight is what people have waited a looooong time for.

From what i've read its a solid action fest with no cut away yeeeeehaaaaaaa!!! 😮‍💨

yes, i think if george had gotten right in there, and gave them specific directions, and made them do it until they got it right, we'd have had a better delivery of even some of the cheezier moments.

i dunno if its possible to get some of those cheesy lines right

"i havent seen you this tense since...well since we fell into that nest of gundarks"

now, try to make that line sound comical.
its impossible, the lines just sucked in that scene.

GL: "ok, i want to plug the pre-AotC book...but how...I KNOW!"

Yes it was like he had egg all over his face *ahem* 😛

LOL!

but things like say... hayden's dream sequence where he's lying in his bed dreamin about his mom... that just seemed WAY TOO overacted... i think he could've done a better job.

either that, or they could've just not even used it.. and just cut to him awake early in the morning where padme mentions hearing him dreaming in his sleep.

Yeah didnt like that scene, it looked more like he was having a wet force dream 😮‍💨
