Dear God, Hayden Christensen sucked in "Clones"
Edited on Sat May-23-09 07:51 PM by LostinVA
I had forgotten how much. He makes Mark Hamill seem like Alec Guinness. He was at least semi-good as Evil Anakin/Darth Vader in "Sith."

The other actors are good enough to kinda rise above Lucas' horribleness.

1. his best and only acting was in Shattered Glass. Jumper would have been a
much better movie without him.

5. He's bad, but he's better in "Revenge of the Sith." You might be watching because
Ewen McGregor can act, and the special FX can sustain what is lacking?

4. I'm so glad someone has addressed the horribleness of George Lucas as a director.
This needs to be addressed.

Look at Natalie Portman in "Phantom" and "Attack."

Lucas is a toymaker, but not a director.

6. He's a worse dialogue writer -- especially "romantic" dialogue
I actually think Portman is quite effective in "Phantom," and does her very best in "Cones."

9. Can we also talk about Harrison Ford's performance in "Return of the Jedi"? Or is that
off limits?

18. The only thing I disagree with is that Natalie Portman is able to rise above Lucas' horribleness
as a director.

She's terrible, almost beyond description.

This is make or break time for Natalie Portman. She was great as a twelve year old in THE PROFESSIONAL, but she has not done well since that, not even working for Mike Nichols in CLOSER, although she did her best.

21. Oh, jeez! "Dear God" was an exclamation.
I thought you were actually writing a letter to God to complain.

22. Why was MTV showing it, for pity's sake?
Didn't the channel suck enough already?
