On a scale of 1-10 i rate him a negative -10.
Even on a superficial level Hayden does not give the feeling of Anakin from the description of the original trilogy. Hayden is a young actor so maybe someday he might make a good movie, learn to act. But he was terrible in the prequels, and jumper. Also in Awake. Not going to go out of my way to see any more movies with him in them because he sucks.
Lucas could have cast an actor who could pull off the nuance a character like Anakin should have been. He should have written the turn believably, actually had Anakin fall from grace instead of starting out an asshole and a murderer to being an asshole and a murderer.
There were no layers to his characterization , and what lucas did was not even remotely mediocre it was pitifully bad. Hire a good screenwriter and character director and a good actor and the star wars saga would need not to have gone out as a joke that people laugh about wooden dialogue and unbelievable romance and zero chemistry.
I mean Anakin only reason for turning to the darkside is to save padme then he tries to kill her, laughably bad. Then instead of living for her two newly born babies padme dies of a broken heart. I wanted to scream at the theater screen. I thought only a moron could so ineptly carry through these three movies when you have the money and the talent all around you there is no excuse for 3 bad movies. Episode 1 and II were bad films but episode III was an abomination.
