Eklin Posted August 4, 2002 Posted August 4, 2002 I think that some people are being a little TOO critical of the acting in the movie. 1. Hayden Christenson (sp?) isn't by any means one of the best actors (nobody can top Sam Jackson, Liam Neeson, Harrison Ford, and the Vaders), but at least he's about 100x better than Mark Hammil was in the OT. 2. If you'd actually bother to compare the Prequels with the OT, you'd see that BOTH are pretty bad when it comes to acting (I still cringe whenever I see Hammil react to Vader saying "I'm your daddy!". I didn't think that the muscles in the human face could contort like that.) 3. NOBODY is a worse choice for a part in SW than Natalie Portman. No matter what line it is, it NEVER sounds StarWars-esque. And she is just a bad actor, plain and simple. The only movie she was actually half decent in was "The Professional".
Mr.Blonde Posted August 4, 2002 Posted August 4, 2002 Totally agree and the funny thing is she was like 13 in that movie lol
MysticSpade Posted August 4, 2002 Posted August 4, 2002 Originally posted by OnlyOneCanoli Anakin's line about the Sand getting everywhere and it being scratchy, and then saying it's not like Padme, who is soft. This kid needs to learn some better seduction techniques. DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER FOR THE STUPIDEST LINE OF AOTC i sat through that whole pathetic movie just to watch Yoda whoop some @$$ and i tell ya......... it was worth it. I now have just the fight scene on my Desktop.

Eklin Posted August 4, 2002 Posted August 4, 2002 She was in Mars Attacks? I never realized that. She was the presidents daughter, right? That was a funny movie. And I love how they actually killed the aliens in the end. lol
Lunatic Jedi Posted August 4, 2002 Posted August 4, 2002 Anakin: You call this a diplomatic resolution? Padme: No, I call this aggressive negotiation. The only thing that kept me from leaping out of my seat, screaming and babbling in madness induced by that horrible, HORRIBLE line, was the fact that it came during a good action sequence. Frankly, I'd like to find the writer who made that scene and slap him with a frozen halibut.

Bah, she wasn't even good in that too, Jean Reno carried that movie terrific...

(no kidding) Novels are different than movies. My favorite line in EP2: "Good Job" - Obi-wan.
Blues Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 I like when Obi-wan says "Possibly" in response to Anakin's remark about his senses being attuned. Ya know, right before they save Padme from the...things?
Lunatic Jedi Posted August 8, 2002 Posted August 8, 2002 "To the forward command center, take me!" The writers were so obsessed with keeping Yoda's grammatical legacy that they made his lines sounds stupid.
thehomicidalegg Posted August 8, 2002 Posted August 8, 2002 who cares if she cant really act, neither can half of the other actors in the movie, but shes hot, that makes her better than the others:D
