[@TheGrayMysterious]

I think Hayden's real talent is acting with his face. When he needs to not say anything and just visualize what emotion he's feeling, he does really well. Not so much when he has to complain about sand.

[@TheGrayMysterious]

I'd also like to mention, if no-one else has before, that Jedi are forbidden to love because it could create attachments that the dark side could prey on, like what happens in Revenge of the Sith with Padme, where the Sith could exploit a Jedi's natural fear for their loved ones by promising them that the dark side could protect them forever. Plus, the Jedi replenish their ranks by seeking out newborns gifted with the Force and "adopting" (aka legally kidnapping) them into the Academy. Not that it's explained very well in the movies anyway.

Doesn't help that Lucas gave none of the actors any direction whatsoever and shot nearly everything in empty greenscreen rooms.

And when are they ever going to see Anakin again to take revenge? Who cares. He can obviously handle them. c) you're implying Anakin had cold hearted logical foresight while committing an act of impulsive violence? That would actually make him more of psycho nut job because it was logically planned.

[@theepoopydoodoo]

Anakin should've been a more silent, stoic hero. It seems Hayden could do more acting with his eyes, expressions and physicality rather than actual lines.

[@Carolinagirl1028]

Agreed, which makes me believe it's more George Lucas's dialogue and direction that Hayden's acting ability. To be fair Hayden has some convincing moments as Anakin throughout Episode 2&3, such as when he loses his mother, when he finds out Padme is pregnant, and the silent reflective scene between him and Padme towards the end of ROTS. Unfortunately these moments get lost in the never ending cringe worthy dialogue about sand, love, and how the Jedi Council just doesn't understand.

[@ZiplineShazam]

I agree. The less that Hayden Christen speaks the better.

[@Akeldama9]

[@RohonNag]

Kevora92 I wanted to say the same thing, chris is now just nitpicking!

[@arcticridge]

Kevora92 Look closelyer

[@mrmanpersonguy5812]

I like Count Dooku, but I know a way that they could have improved his character. They should have had him in The Phantom Menace as a Jedi, that way the audience would have known him and be impacted by the fact that he turned to the dark side. They could have had him on the Jedi Council and maybe have a scene with him, Qui Gon, and Obi-Wan, and have him present at Qui Gon's funeral, feeling anger and sadness over the fact that his former padawan died, foreshadowing his turn. They also could have had him at the beginning of Attack of the Clones during the scene where the Jedi Council are talking with Palpatine, mostly to make sense of him getting rid of Kamino in the database. It could have been a good twist and I think people would have even been shocked by it. I still like what we got of Dooku, but just including him in The Phantom Menace could have improved his character.

[@danielponder690]

anyone else disappointed Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing couldn't be in the film together having an argument or conflict? Yes, I know Cushing died about 2-3 years before episode I. It would be a weird COOL reference to the Hammer Dracula films.

[@chronic_johnson_a.r.a.b]

That sounds good. Either that or keep Darth Maul alive at the end of Phantom Menace and have him return in later episodes, just write it out a bit differently and he could die in Dooku's place at the start of Revenge of the Sith. Dooku, Qui Gon, and Maul were all under-utilised.

[@British_Rogue]

TheGCritic Dooku was brought in as Jar Jar's replacement after the backlash. Not only has Ahmed Best hinted strongly that Darth Jar Jar was the original plan, but it also fits in with Lucas's analogy of the Star Wars franchise being a poem. Lucas used Ring Composition - story is cyclical. If the camera passes from left to right in A New Hope, then the camera passes from right to left in A Phantom Menace. Prequel Trilogy mirrors the Original Trilogy. Yoda is a crazy buffoon who is later revealed to be a wise Jedi. Jar Jar is Yoda's mirrored counterpart - a crazy buffoon who would've later been revealed to be a wise Sith. If people were quiet about Jar Jar, Dooku wouldn't exist, and the Prequel Trilogy would have had a much better background villain.

[@turtleislandlac1490]

Dooku was a character created on the fly for Christopher Lee. I'm not sure what Lee originally signed on to do, but originally the new Sith apprentice was supposed to be a female sith character that eventually became Asaj Ventress in the TV animated series. Ventress was scrapped to favor the big name. But It would have been great if someone like Angelina Jolie had been cast as Ventress.

[@alosim1541]

Have you seen Belated Media's re-writes of the Prequels, specifically Attack of the Clones? Combine your version of Dooku in Ep. I and Belated Media's version of Dooku in Ep. II, you have a pretty interesting character.

[@ShinbrigTV]

Honestly, I thought this one was WORSE than Episode 1. At least in Episode 1 we had Darth Maul...what did this movie have??

[@necroplastful]

ShinbrigTV And Qui Gon as well. Chris may not agree but I adore Qui gons charcter and Liam Neeson absolutely nails it. Imagine for just a little moment what Episode I would look like without Qui Gon Jin... Yeah boring as fuck.. And yes Darth Maul is cool even though he only says: "at last we will have revenge" and "UUUmmph" for the entire movie. Id say the redeeming thing about Episode II is Christopher Lee. He is just as badass as always. And Chris disagrees but I LOVE the Yoda part of the lightsaber battle. Its truly awesome just to see him fly and doing all sorts of shit making the viewer think that he truly is the best Jedi. But it has MAJOR flaws... The romance is even worst than Twilight and I am not even kidding... It just seems so facked out due to Christensens ATROCIOUS acting. And even Mac Gregor is not in top form in this movie. Same for Samuel Jackson who is an outstanding actor in my eyes (Steven in Django is the best thing he ever was) but just sucks ass in this movie. I like Episode II for childhood nostalgia and I will always hold it close to my heart but overall it sucks big BIG time!

[@bladesofegg-zile4361]

Jango Fett...... but he really doesn't do anything

[@SamaritanPrime]

ShinbrigTV Episode 1 was lackluster (or disappointing for those who, unlike me, watched the movies in sequential order, not numerical order). Episode 2 was just awful.

[@jeffdaman6969]

Yeah but I'm being extreme here when I say this, it just seems anything having to do with emotions can turn a Jedi towards the dark side. It's so bad that it was a running joke for a while.

[@Nicktoth81]

+degree7 it makes sense since the force is in many ways like a religion. Even in the original trilogy it was presented as a mystical thing of legends which would be what a religion that isn't practiced turns into.

[@gamingeagle19]

+Bandit In the EU, it's explained that having those feelings is believed to make one susceptible to turning to the dark side since it leads to passion and fear of loss of that person which is what happened to Anakin. Honestly, I don't mind that explanation either, just not in the canonical movies because it's never explained. Just, "jedi's cant love because Lucas says so". It's stupid.

Seen her? Or spoken to her, since you began your training?” Anakin: *hangs his head and sighs* ... No... I haven’t. Not a word. The council says that it would distract me from my real goal. Sometimes I wonder what that is...” *They stand in silence for a minute, before Anakin chuckles again and speaks with a smile* Anakin: “You know, when I left my mother, she couldn’t stop talking. Seemed like she went on for DAYS.” Padame: *smiles* I bet she had a lot to tell you. Anakin: *rolls his eyes* Oh yes. Everything from “I love you so much” to *wags his finger* “now make sure to drink plenty every day, even if you don’t feel thirsty!” *They both laugh for a few seconds* Anakin: *Slowly stops laughing* But you know what the last thing she said to me was? In our house anyway?” Padame: *Still with a grin of mirth on her face* What? “You had better come back with grand babies Anakin!” Anakin: *Bursts our laughing for a second* Uh, close actually. She said “you find a good woman Anakin. Settle down, build a family like I never did. Find the best woman you can and marry her right away!” *They both chuckle again, but in a way that is less genuine and clearer meant to deflect tension* ... Gods, can you imagine saying that to a ten year old? ... But you know what? I did just that.” Padame: *Her breath catches in her throat* Oh? *She asks, trying and failing to sound casual as Anakin moves closer* Anakin: *Gazing into her eyes* I found the bravest, strongest, most beautiful woman in the galaxy. I crossed the stars with her, fought beside her to retake her throne. And now I stand with her in paradise, yet I can’t see anything... beyond her eyes.” Padame: *her breath quickens as she attempts to deflect even as she leans closer* Won’t your mother be proud?” *she asks with a faint smile as she draws ever closer* But... Aren’t Jedi forbidden to love?” Anakin: *Smiles roguishly as he caresses her cheek and leans in, bare inches from her lips* “Does it look like I care?” They smile and close the distance, kissing hesitantly at first, but then embracing both each other and their passions as the music swells and the camera pans away from them and over the falls and setting sun of Naboo.

Anakin/Vader is conceptually one of my favorite characters ever written. The emotional depth just within the major beats of his storyline is genius, he is a character so at odds with himself that he lives within a prison of his own making. This is fleshed out incredibly in expanded universe content as well, through his genocide of the Jedi and all the various crazy fucking things Palpatine puts him through. He is just such a fucking amazing character, and there's something so inherently human about his struggle against himself, his struggle against fear. He's a character that makes us ask ourselves what we truly believe is right and wrong, and that's a rare sort of character you don't come across often. That being said, the Anakin half of the Anakin/Vader story is hands down the worst part of this characters story. I don't even blame Hayden, because in revenge of the Sith when he got some actually halfway decent scenes, he actually delivered imo. It's the writing that truly makes so many parts of Anakin's story crumble, it's the way George Lucas went about presenting this character. From the half baked love story, to his tantrums that were just the most blatant and obvious ways to show his internal conflict, it all just kinda sucks. The only saving grace for Anakin as a character is revenge of the Sith, which is actually my favorite star wars movie, with empire strikes back at close second. Lucas actually created a compelling Anakin in revenge of the Sith, not consistently, but he at least feels like a semi realized character in episode 3. Would this movie have been waaayyy better if Lucas had taken the time to craft a more well thought out journey for Anakin to reach the breaking point that he reaches? Yes, 100% yes, but at least he didn't shy away from trying to create a real tragedy in episode 3, something horrific enough to turn a person into a monster. Other than that, Anakin is mostly wasted potential, and Hayden flounders his way through it at least somewhat commendably at times. Just wish we could get something as badass as we had hoped

[@SamsChanneI]

Phantom Menace may have been a snooze-fest, but there were redeeming elements in there and the filmmakers still tried as hard as they could. Sure the wait makes it seem 1000x worse, but in actuality it was harmless as a movie on its own. Attack of the Clones actually does go as far as to insult the intelligence of the viewer and seemingly even goes out of its way to contradict the entire mythology of the original movies. It sticks a bunch of recognizable brand/franchise images on-screen to get an audience to come and sit through a feature-length exhibit of some (really dated by now) effects that Lucas thought was the best thing since sliced bread. I've only ever considered it better than Episode I for it's superficial value. Episode II is still the only prequel that I reckon legitimately deserves the hate.

[@iKillerZombie]

I actually do enjoy the prequels if I just turn my brain off and watch them as fun sci fi action movies but I can understand why people don't like them

[@Naruto85RasenShurike]

I still don't get how the Jedi always busting out their lightsabers is an insult to the original trilogy. I mean yeah the lightsaber is an old-fashioned majestic weapon, but I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that the Jedi were extinct by the time of EPISODE IV. The reason the Jedi would not pull them out in the originals was because they probably didn't want to to catch the attention of the stormtroopers. Also, Luke and Obi-Wan didn't just use their lightsabers for just duels with Darth Vader. Obi-Wan used it to cut off the arm of the guy who threatened Luke in the cantina, Luke busted it out when assaulting Jabba the Hutt's Sail Barge, and Luke did it again when fighting against the speeder bikes on Endor. Doesn't that contradict the idea of only using it against the main villain? The reason I think that the Jedi would bust out their lightsabers more often in the prequels was because they were not fugitives from the Empire, and they were prominent in this era. That meant that they were more willing to use lightsabers when ever having to deal with threats of various kinds. If they were restricted to using them when only fighting the Sith, wouldn't they easily be killed? I know you have problems with this film, but I think that it doesn't deserve the hate it gets (I'm honestly sick of the hate all of the prequels get). EPISODE II doesn't feel insulting to the mythos in my opinion, as I can see why the Jedi would use their lightsabers more frequently in an era where they were like knights or samurai from ancient times. I also found the backstory of the clones to be intriguing (they viewed themselves as brothers in the CLONE WARS TV series, which I found to be awesome), and Jango Fett was just BADA** in my opinion (to me Boba Fett is kinda overrated, and his death in ROTJ was very rushed; at least Jango killed a couple Jedi before being decapitated). If you don't care for it, that's fine... Just respect that some of us do...

[@swsagafan8779]

Sams ChanneI At the very moment he complained about the fact that the Jedi aren't allowed to be in love and he said: «how the Jedi are supposed to f***ing procreate?!? That is so dumb!!!» (7:40) I stopped watching his video. I gave him two hints in which it was very obvious that the Jedi recruit other people to become Jedi without procreating: The Phantom Menace and A New Hope. People never thought about that? =P

[@RollinTumblin]

SW Saga Fan New Hope: Luke wasn't recruited as such - Kenobi was just waiting for him to grow up because he was the son of Anakin, and exists only because Anakin broke the rules and procreated. Phantom Menace: We are told Anakin was the product of a miracle virgin birth. So the criticism is valid and not stupid at all. Apart from Anakin (miracle birth possibly done by Palpatine magic) where do Jedi come from? They don't procreate according to the prequels, how do midichlorian genes get passed on? The prequels raise that question because of the needless invention by Lucas of Jedi being isolated monks with no love life. He didn't have to write Jedi like that, but he did. But he also included, pointlessly, the business about midichlorians. Both these things combined is dumb because now, for no good reason, the audience are scratching their heads wondering about something that is only bring discussed because Lucas had those two dumb ideas and combined them. So we can either decide it's stupid, or we can ignore it and pretend it wasn't said or you can make excuses for Lucas and wave it away by making up stuff that wasn't in the films. All Lucas had to do was not midichlorians and not make Jedi loveless monks, taken from their families at a really young age and brainwashed to love nothing but their light sabres. The prequels are weird. They make a complete mess of the Jedi.

[@swsagafan8779]

Nebogipfel While I do respect everyone's opinion and I am aware that if you like a movie or not is personal preference, I feel that a lot of people are just wasting their time, here on the internet, by scratching the bottom of the barrel.

il be the first person to stand up for hayden Christensen. i do personally believe it was all lucas's fault for what came of anakin and haydens performance, dialogue, etc. you can see in revenge of the sith that hayden CAN act and be quite likeable and believeable in SOME scenes that allow it. i personally believe that george lucas and his direction were the entire problem for hayden. lucas just doesnt know how to get a good performance out of an actor unless said actor is already really good at acting. i despise the prequels yes, revenge of the sith tho is one if my guilty pleasure favorite films tho. not very high on my list but in comparison to the first two prequels, rots is actually a really good enjoyable movie, tho with some glaring unfortunate unforgivable problems, its an entertaining movie and palpatines manipulation of anakin is one of if not the best prequel arc. yall can say what you want but i like hayden Christensen as a person, and alot better in rots, but in attack of the clones he was pretty bad. again tho i completely blame lucas for that bit. ive seen hayden act in other movies and be quite compelling, so personally i try not to disrespect and or blame hayden for the prequels. he did his best and you do see huge progress by rots. my opinion tho.

[@Skull1Hunter]

To add to what you said, look at the rest of the cast. Most of the cast consists of amazing actors, but only 1 or2 of them don't suck in the prequels. Even Samuel L. Jackson, one of my favorite actors, is garbage in the prequels. Debatably, the only actors in the prequels that don't suck are Ewan McGregor and Ian McDiarmid. Kenny Baker doesn't count, since you never see him outside of the R2-D2 shell.

Thanks

[@ZiplineShazam]

I'll have to disagree with you here. Hayden is a very mediocre actor. He's got a strong work ethic but his line delivery is amateur at best.

[@aurorauplinks]

the actors performed as lucas asked so they could display the nature of the jedi and the sithe, the jedi display disdain for emotion, the sithe revel in it, that is thier core difference, order vs chaos, awareness vs manipulation, hope vs demand

[@signeaarejrgensen61]

He was let down by the writing and directing, and didnt succeed in making the character his own. He was Very good in Shattered glass.

if they hadn't done anakin and padmie love story we wouldn't have got luke and Princess leis

[@KSRugby]

very true but it certainly could have been written so much better, cause in the actual film the story is so forced and the only way it could be more forced is if george lucas literally jumped into the audience and beat everyone over the head and shouting 'they are in love, they are in love'

[@grantmcroberts4089]

ASobsessive I agree film was poor but I can still watch it unlike that shitie phantom menace but you're right could have been better

[@mrmoviemanic1]

But he turned to the dark side for her, he frigging betrayed the order for her and he used her to justify every bad thing he was doing. I don't think many of us would like Vader/Anakin if he just screwed someone and then always wanted to be evil, we had to buy into the fact that he turned evil for a reason, and mixing that with the want of power and being told he will bring balance to the force along with being told he can't love or have feelings, much like a machine is in a poetic way what drives him to in the end become a machine.

[@mrmoviemanic1]

I do agree they could of gone with a more slow burn love story, but I think it's important to note that they are both sort of meant to be teenagers who are both told they can't break the rules and both kind of on the Chasity side. I think if they developed there relationship to be a bit more about sexual tension transcending into love, it could of became much more impactful.

[@NotAFakeName1]

Drew Russell I'm not saying they shouldn't have told Anakin/Padmes story, just that it wasn't necessary for luke/leia to exist. There are hundreds of different ways they could've written Anakin. Tragic hero who fell to the dark side, sociopath who left the light, or even just a person who doesn't understand their own power. With varying degrees of moral complexity, good, and evil.

[@billygowhoop]

That scene with Obi chasing after Jango was by far the best part of the movie. I remember sitting in the theater and loving the way that it goes from completely silent to that seismic explosion. I ate that shit up as a 9 year old.

[@MikeVernonProd]

I just rewatched Attack of the Clones today. A lot of it doesn't work, but for whatever reason, it is still a great watch. The Blade Runner-esque neon-infused chase scene in the seedy underbelly of Coruscant really works. The romance between Anakin and Padme does not work, but Obi Wan's intergalactic detective mission does. I do like the separatist subplot of the Clone Wars, but it remains totally underdeveloped in the film. The final act is clunky, and a bit of a let down. The lightsaber duel at the end lacks emotion. Nevertheless, the film still has a number of really intriguing ideas that hold it together. I much prefer it to the Disney trilogy, which I have pretty much forgotten at this point.

I do love a lot of this movie but I understand the criticisms. I say actual fan because it’s not hard to watch a bunch of short episodes of a tv show if you’re a fan of Star Wars rather than being a enjoyer of some of the films. I understand waht you’re saying but I think what I’m saying it just as valid and if you don’t agree that’s fine
