K, so I just watched a 3-in-1 of the prequels, Vader's cut, and wow... I'm just astounded at how bad an actor Hayden Christenssen is. Like, I know, I've seen the films over and over. But there's something about seeing them altogether, that really highlights, this motherfucker is just as bad as Tommy Wiseau.
Some lines I get, because George Lucas is a shitty writer. Daniel Day Lewis couldn't pull off the line "From my point of view the Jedi are evil" while riding a lava surfboard. But there are so many lines in the script, that given to a better actor, could have been really powerful moments.
The moment where Anakin tells Padme he could overthrow the Chancellor and rule the galaxy, could have been the standout moment of the film. Instead, because this guy can't emote, it comes off weak.
Can this guy not display emotion? He literally says "I'm furious" with a monotone!
