I have to admit i wasn't the biggest fan of his acting in Attack of the Clones, but looking back it was probably how he was directed. If you watch Life as a house you can see he's so talented. He was perfect in Revenge of the Sith, not to mention absolutely gorgeous

So you’re implying he would have a bigger career if he wasn’t in Star Wars? No way Star Wars made him one of the most recognizable actors of our time for 2 movies he did alone. How we judge success is ridiculous. That’s the role of a lifetime and his face will be passed on for generations to come. He’s apart of the 1% who actually make it big time.

Classic example of only artists know art. Not the civillians. Hence why a lot of art is hated originally.

George Lucas doesn't have a good track record of directing actors. Even the original Star Wars movie has very stiff and awkward acting, even compared to its immediate sequels. I mean even 4 years before the Prequels Ewan McGregor was AMAZING in Trainspotting, and yet in the prequel trilogy (despite being one of the better actors) he was MUCH worse. But Star Wars fans refused to accept that and blamed the bad acting on the actors even though it was an issue in every movie with most of the actors

i think he played anakin exactly how he was told but the character was very unlikable, in the movies we never really saw that good natured, loving, and caring for those around him Anakin we later saw in clone wars. in Episode 2 he was already wrapped up in hatred an anger even torwards obi-wan, his master, farther figure and brother in spirit. its a bit of bad character =/= bad actor. Clone wars redeemed Anakin as a character a lot but Hayden was out of the picture for that and wasn't even asked to voice the role

George Lucas’s Star Wars prequels are a pure masterpiece, a magnificent, exciting, and incredibly rich work that has greatly contributed to the story, universe, characters, lore, and mythology of Star Wars. They are the greatest movies-a thrilling, cult classic trilogy from beginning to end. These are the Star Wars movies George Lucas always intended to make, and they are the best, most complete, and richest of all the Star Wars trilogies. Everything is superb: the deepening of the Star Wars universe and its narrative elements is stunning and engaging. The detailed exploration of the Clone Wars, a pivotal moment in Star Wars history, is fascinating. The period of the Clone Wars is the best era in the Star Wars saga. The gripping storyline develops throughout the films, with the rise of Palpatine (Darth Sidious) portrayed masterfully. His behind-the-scenes machinations to undermine the Galactic Republic and bring the galaxy under his control are meticulously shown. His manipulation to create a massive clone army and wipe out the Jedi with Order 66 is central to the story, explaining how the Galactic Empire came to be after the fall of the Republic and how Anakin turned to the dark side, becoming Darth Vader. Anakin’s fall, driven by his desire to save those he loved, is tragic and profound. His transformation into Darth Vader is a breathtaking, iconic scene. The connection to the original trilogy is seamlessly handled. Anakin’s internal conflict-torn between his loyalty to the Jedi Order and his desire to protect those he loves-makes his story deep and tragic. Key moments such as his confrontation with Count Dooku and his heartbreaking final duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar heighten the drama. The prequels also brought invaluable depth to the Star Wars universe, offering detailed insight into the Jedi Order, the training of Padawans, the Sith, and Jedi teachings. The focus on the Sith and their philosophy strengthened the dark side of the Force, adding layers of depth and complexity to the saga. The political aspect of the prequel trilogy introduces a new dimension to Star Wars, with Palpatine’s machinations in the Galactic Senate and the growing tensions between planetary systems, creating a richer context for the events of the Original Trilogy-the rise of the Empire, the fall of the Republic, the extinction of the Jedi, and the tragic story of Anakin Skywalker. The expansion of the Star Wars universe is also amazing, with new planets, races, creatures, and cultures. The introduction of Dug, Gungans, Toydarians, Kaminoans, the underwater city, the Queen’s palace, the Galactic Senate, the cloning facility, and planets like Naboo and Coruscant-all of which are among the best-help create a larger, more diverse world. Iconic locations such as Kamino, Geonosis, Utapau, Felucia, and Mustafar provide visually captivating settings for action scenes, plot development, and key moments in the story. The trilogy also gave us legendary characters like Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala, Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, General Grievous, Jango Fett, and more. The action scenes and lightsaber battles are some of the most memorable in the saga. Epic battles such as the Battle of Geonosis, the podrace on Tatooine, the Battle of Naboo, and the Battle over Coruscant are iconic, visually stunning, and filled with emotional stakes, involving characters we’ve grown to love. Lightsaber duels between legendary figures like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Maul, and Yoda are executed with exceptional choreography, adding visceral energy to the story. The duel on Naboo, the clash with Count Dooku, Yoda’s fight with Darth Sidious in the Senate, Darth Maul’s encounter, and the tragic brotherly battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin are unforgettable. These episodes also enriched Star Wars lore with charismatic new characters, unforgettable music like 'Duel of the Fates,' 'Across the Stars,' and 'Battle of the Heroes,' a fascinating and expansive mythology, and a cast of talented actors, including Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Liam Neeson. Natalie Portman is stunning, graceful, and charismatic as Padmé Amidala, queen and senator of Naboo. She brings strength, determination, and courage to her role, evolving from a queen to a senator and eventually into a strong, elegant, and determined woman-a central feature of the trilogy. Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson deliver a classy and memorable presence onscreen, and their dynamic as Jedi Masters is palpable, conveying wisdom and resolve that ground the story in Jedi heritage. Christopher Lee’s presence as Count Dooku adds a touch of class, elegance, and charisma, enhanced by his Shakespearean delivery. The Star Wars prequels were the revival of the Star Wars saga, bringing real dramatic weight, political context, meaningful stakes, new and iconic characters, and thrilling action scenes. They vastly expanded the Star Wars universe, making it more diverse and richly developed, with a lore that perfectly complements the Original Trilogy and is inseparable from it. These Star Wars episodes are masterpieces that form an incredible whole, a single, exceptional galactic epic. It is the story of Anakin Skywalker-from his training as a Jedi to his fall to the dark side, and ultimately his redemption in saving his son, destroying the Sith, and bringing balance to the Force. It’s also the story of the Galactic Empire, once a democratic Republic, and Palpatine’s rise from senator to emperor of the galaxy-his manipulation to secure his authority in the Senate, create his own Empire, destroy the Jedi Order, and keep Anakin as his apprentice. Furthermore, this trilogy marked a major advancement in digital filmmaking, modern technologies, editing, and special effects, allowing the creation of new worlds, incredible world-building, and the extraordinary narrative of the Star Wars prequels. Like Avatar, it is a vast, rich, and unlimited universe that explores new planets, civilizations, technologies, and worlds. This trilogy is the greatest, more far-reaching, more fantastc, in Star Wars, as George Lucas was able to build his universe exactly as he envisioned it. Without the prequels, the Star Wars universe would not be as interesting, vast, developed, or as exciting and rich as it is today.

It’s also the rise and fall of a dictatorship, showing the transformation of a democracy into tyranny, all set in a vast, sprawling universe that is breathtakingly rich and endlessly creative. Star Wars Episodes I through VI tell the same story, set in the same universe-George Lucas’s singular vision of an extraordinary science fiction saga. Both trilogies are integral to the Star Wars world, two sides of the same galaxy. These two monumental trilogies are masterpieces that have greatly contributed to building the universe and lore of Star Wars as we know it today.

I've always and still think Hayden is a very good actor.oh I thought he was great in takers. George Lucas directed him to act how he was in Star wars, I thought it was a great job IMO.

@j0l1ed1v153 күн бұрын
I think in a way he did accept being beaten because if you watch his interviews when he was younger he didn’t wanna be remembered as Anakin, he wanted to play other roles and he was passionate about acting but at the same time he rejected a lot of opportunities. I think it was fear so he decided to take projects that were small where he could have some kind of control. Now he does comic cons and he does special Star Wars appearances and he makes a lot of money from that an opportunity many would like to have. So he is very successful and an icon for generations but at the same time he gave up his dream of being an actor. There is this interview when he was around 22 where he was told at age 45 or 50 he would be doing appearances as Anakin and conventions as Anakin and he seemed annoyed and he said he hopes that’s not what he would be doing, he wanted to be regarded as a versatile actor but it seems like he gave up those dreams, at the same time he has a legacy and a place in movie history many would want so I guess he’s learned to appreciate that. It’s very complex to understand.

I never understood the hate on Hayden’s acting. If you think about it, Jedi’s were meticulously trained to keep their emotions in check. Would make sense that he’s “stiff” and “dry” for the most part. Also I’ll never forget seeing him catch on fire after getting his legs chopped in ep 3. I always thought that was a super visceral moment as a kid and that he really conveyed the pain and hatred for Obi Wan

If you see him in movies where he had better directors he's amazing. Ahsoka for example.

Harrison Ford: "George, you can type this shit, but you can't say it!" "I don't want to be rude, but it's not Shakespeare" Ewan McGregor “I'm still angry about the way they treated Jake Lloyd. He was only ten years old, that boy, and he did exactly what George wanted him to do. Believe me, I understand clunky dialog.” - Mark Hamill

The thing about Anakin Skywalker is that he's a complete fuckup. Everything he does, every choice he makes, is exactly the wrong thing to do in every situation he's in, right up until the very last decision he makes in his life. That's his character arc throughout every film he's in, whichever actor portrays him. The fact that people bag on Christensen for playing him that way is just evidence that he got it exactly right.

Jumper was a cool movie man

The only person who came out of the prequels looking good was Ewan McGregor because he decided to ham it up with his role, which was the only way that writing could be good.

Natalie Portman was launched in Hollywood as an indispensable star thanks to her legendary role as Queen Padme Amidala in the Star Wars saga, subsequently continuing to star in major films (Closer, V for Vendetta...).

wtf!? I'm not a die hard Star Wars fan, but I liked the movies, I have seen them many times and some of them are close to me like a childhood memory. I've never read any reviews about them tho', and this is the first time I hear the Hayden Christensen got absolutely blasted by review after the movies came out. It seems really inappropriate to me, I think he did a good job, in fact, I never once questioned the decision to cast him as Darth Vader. I though the "emotional troubled teen" persona was a perfect fit for a soon to be Darth Vader. Man this sucks, Hayden did not deserve this imo
