Perhaps the worst casting decision of this century. Absolutely horrible actor.

Not horrible. Not the greatest, but I've seen him in other movies and he ranges from decent to good.

IMO, GL is entirely to blame for the PT performances. Look at Natalie Portman: she's horrible in both episodes two and three, but watch her in any movie that ISN'T Star Wars and she's a great actress. GL was controlling and the acting came off incredibly stiff and stilted in the prequels. I don't even think McGregor or Neeson came off too great.

IIRC, I read an interview with Christensen where he said he wanted to portray Anakin differently, that he viewed the character differently.

The Anakin we got in the PT was all GL's creation. Bow down to the Emperor.

I'll agree Lucas should take a lot of blame for others phoning it in. I'll disagree that Portman is great. She's good, but nothing great. And Hayden at his best (Shattered Glass) is still excruciating.

 

[Josette]

I would say Portman is great for her performances in The Professional and V for Vendetta alone.

I thought Christensen was good in Life as a House. Again, not a great actor, but hardly excruciating. Watched him in Jumper, thought he was decent.

My personal pick for Anakin would have been someone like Jensen Ackles, who I think is one of the most underrated actors out there today, but even his ability couldn't have saved that character.

no..well, sorta. i love jack nicholson, and almost all of his movies, but after a while, whether he plays a good guy or bad guy, his characters are all basically the same sarcastic, wise-ass guy. and usually his characters lean more towards the bad guy side...even if he's a good guy, he's a good guy that people dont really like. . i'll still watch any of his movies though, cuz i enjoy him. just sayin most of the characters are practically the same.
