The fireplace scene in which Anakin confesses his love for Padmé is a perfect portrayal of how an extremely intelligent and emotionally repressed young man would express unrequited love, especially an unrequited love bottled up inside for almost ten years. In other words, the romantic dialogue is exceedingly realistic given Anakin’s unique situation.Something happening in a movie being realistic doesn’t make it interesting to watch. Obi-Wan leaving to take a wee in the middle of a conversation with Anakin would be realistic, but not interesting.
There’s a difference between showing a realistic but uninteresting thing, like going to the toilet, and showing a potentially interesting thing, like a romance that the whole fall of Anakin is build around, but doing so in an unrealistic way. Noone is saying that the prequels need more scenes that depict realistic things, like people doing their nails, getting their hair cut or shopping for groceries, the complaints are that the things that are already in the movie are presented in an unrealistic way.
JEDIT: I just realized that I misread the quoted posts.
