stop nitpicking over some silly stupid line of dialogue like "I don't like sand", and judge Hayden Christensen (aka Hay Chris) as an actor overall. I thought he was so godlike, just pure plain kickass and awesome!!!!!!
Why??? The Mustafar dialogue with his wife padme amidala was not only good, it was great!!!!!!!
As an actor overall (regarding other things he's in), I cannot judge because I've avoided his films like gonorrhea. However this is a Star Wars forum, so I'll keep my opinions to his 'acting' in the prequels: It's crap.
Watching his 'romance' scenes with Padme is like watching two slightly animate fence posts pretending (very badly) to love each other. There is little chemistry between them and everything seems forced. Both actors in the scene were terrible.
what about on the mustafar scene with them????
That's what I was talking about. It goes from being wooden to be over-acted, to being wooden. Maybe its the script, maybe its the poor development of their relationship from earlier in the PT, maybe its the lack of direction or the fact that Hayden Christensen is a poor actor in these movies (although its likely a combination of all of those things). It all seems forced, which ultimately stops me from finding it powerful or moving, as with so much of the PT.
I'm absolutely amazed to see that they had chemistry between takes because it didn't translate well across to the final films for some reason.
