Hello, i'm new to this board, i've searched to see if there are any similar threads to this one but couldn't find any.I was just wondering how people felt towards the Anakin character in the movies? I personally, don't really think Anakin deserves the title as hero as the Original trilogy and general Star Wars mythology would have you to believe.I think the main reason for this is because of the following:
Episode1- Annoyin smart-ar*ed brat
Episode2-Arrogant know-all who ignores his peers.
Episode3-Weak and easily manipulated into doing the unthinkable (killing Padme and children)
If anything i was glad to see Anakin get his ass whupped by Obi-Wan and get burned to bring him down a peg or two?
How did the rest of you feel when this happened, any thoughts?
I think Hayden was alright, but they could have gotten someone better.
Imagine if it would have been christian Bale, the new batman!
He would have torn the house down as Vader.

He's too old. Otherwise Christian Bale would've been brilliant for ANY role in SW. His cold emotionless look from Equilibrium would be incredi-cool for a Boba/Jango/clone commander character, or even for a Jedi. His American Psycho fits of rage would've been perfect for a Sith....he's bloody brilliant.

Re: Re: Re: Anakins Portrayal
Right... And i am guessing killing younglings is violent?
It wasn't violent because...
A. I hate Younglings
and
B. They didn't show them getting killed. For all we know, they dueled Anakin, escaped and placed dummies of themselves on the Library floors.... C'mon, Wickerman!

Hayden was pretty bad, well wooden.Imagine though if Leonardo Dicaprio was actually chosen for this role?? That really would have sucked, he's a completely different type of wooden.
Well Anakin Represents All of us when we loose it...it represents us not holding back...it represents what we would do if we didn't have to hold back.... if we had the power he had....all the other jedi are strict..but Anakin has emotions like Love, hate etc. and I loved Anakin, he's a normal lil kid.. (brat) who cares its normal..yet he is still smart and stuff
In episode 2 he seems like a normal guy growing up... and You guys can't forget that hthis guy has been taken out of a normal life..imagine how that would feel?!?!
and in episode 3 you guys are again forgetting about the Dark Side Addiction.
He is a guy who made mistakes, and in the end after so many years of being in a mistake he sees that he was wrong and he gives up his life for it.....
and that my friens..is a true hero...a hero with flaws...not the happy Spiderman type
