Dialog was the problem not the acting. The writing was god awful for Anakin.


And the directing, if possible was worse. The entire series of films, while tecnically dazzling, was a disaster at the critical levels of acting, writing and direction.

In the kid's defense, nobody was very good - and I mean nobody - except, perhaps McGregor and Palpatine. Neeson was terrible, Portman was terrible - and we know these folks can act - we've seen them do it.

When you have something this poorly executed, yet this well funded, the fingers all point at one George Walton Lucas.

I don't know Ace. I thought McGregor nailed Obi Wan and provided an excellent transition into Guinness' performance in Episode IV. Neeson wasn't terrible either, theres a great example of shitty dialogue.

But outside of that, I'm with you. Portman wasn't good. Christiansen was awwwful. There are scenes between he and Portman that are painful to watch.

So frustrating because I thought the fight between Obi Wan and Anakin in Revenge of the Sith was epic, only to be ruined everytime Anakin opened his mouth.
