Though I hate the character of Anakin, from a few interviews of Hayden Christensen's I've read, he actually seems really nice. And he did say he used to mess up the kissing scenes so he could do them again...perv! nah, he seems ok but there's nothing wrong with being gay anyway but i'm assuming u mean gay in a 'he's a loser' kinda way though. Are u jealous cause u fancy Natalie Portman?cause a lot of guys hate him for that reason.
And yeh about the medievl thing, the whole war, famine thing would suck. plus no t.v or cinema or internet! how did those people survive!??
I just hated Anakin as a character so that put me off the actor. He does seem like a nice enough guy. He's not ugly or anything, he's ok in the film but i've seen a few pictures of him in real life and he looks high or something! I think the thing that brought him down most in the film was the love scenes, still don't think they had any chemistry and they both seemed so awkward around each other and not in a good way. He seemed good at the being angry and immature parts and is GREAT at whining! Never wanted to bitchslap someone so much during a film! So if that's the effect they wanted with Anakin they certainly won me over!
I'll take my lovely Jedi Knight Obi over that whiny, immature, up himself brat anyday!
Oh I feel the same Lyn, I think he did do the angry, emotional thing good too. But I also thought he was really whiny and arrogant and a brat but i think that's part of his character you know. So I think the character was good cause that's the way he's supposed to be but i still hate him cause i didn't feel he was a likeable person at all.
And yeh Julie it's kinda about everything, the romance, the chemistry and stuff.
Not of the ACTUAL character, I mean look what he becomes. 😉
But at the start for little while I felt sorry for him, you know?
Like when he goes with Padme to speak with the Naboo Queen and she kinda yells at him...you know which part?? Anyway I felt sorry for him there and really really really sorry for him when his mother died.
At the end of the film I was kinda upset because even though I know what will happen to Anakin I wanted it to work out for the 2 of them.
I liked how he was portrayed in this film better than how he was in the first. I found him more whiny and annoying in Ep1 when Jake Lloyd played him. With Hayden Christensen, I truly felt I was watching Anakin Skywalker.
I think I am as new in being a star wars fan as you, Lyn.
😆 I just realised we both chose the same Avatar and we are both from Aus!!
I do think that HC as AS played his bit really well.
Leia: "He seemed good at the being angry and immature parts and is GREAT at whining! Never wanted to bitchslap someone so much during a film! So if that's the effect they wanted with Anakin they certainly won me over!"
Lyn: "I found him more whiny and annoying in Ep1 when Jake Lloyd played him. With Hayden Christensen, I truly felt I was watching Anakin Skywalker."
Couldn't have put it better myself, I felt exactly the same way about Hayden and Jake's potrayal of Anakin.
And to answer this question.... I like both couples better 😛
So u agree with what Lyn said, that Jake was more whiny and annoying as Anakin than Hayden? Sorry it's just u quoted what we both wrote so i wasn't quite sure. Though I found both whiny and annoying I actually found Hayden more immature and whiny, though not that that's a bad thing on his part as that's probably the way they wanted the character.
