Idk why people say he had no feeling in his acting. He shows so much emotion in this. The only reason was awkward in attack of the clones was because he was isolated for years.
Plus he is conlifcted character, thats why everytime he do something it feels awkward because he is always thinking. Plus the jedi master always remind him not to act on his emotions. I think hayden's acting is perfect. He seems lost, confused, awkward. . but turns out to be a powerful sith lord.
I’m sorry, but the people who blame Hayden for “horrible acting” are clearly blind. The scene where he stares at the sunset as Palpatine’s words fill his mind is one of the strongest I’ve ever seen. You can see every thought and emotion flash across his face, you can see his thought process change as he starts to tear up. There’s no guidance, no stupid script to mess him up, just Hayden, and it’s fucking fantastic
He was worse in AoTC. th-cam.com/video/MT86esmL138/w-d-xo.html I wouldn't call him horrible but he's average. Especially when you compare him to actors for the OT trio, Palpatine, Kylo and young Han. Body language was better in ROTS but I don't like his dialogue delivery. 1:34 6:49 8:10 10:08 11:29
I was 15 when this came out, and I remember going to see this in the theater with my mom and sister, my sister and I had the biggest crush on Hayden Christensen, when he came on screen, our eyes lit up lol
@@pumpkinbagelpatch eh. the clone wars anakin nails the good guy charisma of anakin but is really corny in dark moments. Especially when corrupted by the son and the visions of the future it’s not believable. Anakin needs perfect balance of darkness and evil and charismatic and likable.
8:20 - Hayden's acting in this scene is fantastic. He's truly a broken man here, completely resigned to being used in any way necessary for a chance to save the one he loves
@MayorCuatroW2Hees I watched it for the first time during the summer. I couldn't believe people shit on Hayden's acting he literally made the prequels for me. The scene where he looks out to padme before he turns is literally the best scene in the saga
@@ade8182 you guys are so lucky getting to experience this for the first time! I’ve been a fan all my life, and anakin’s character arc is the most compelling for me
Watch this without the sound on. You get to actually focus on the body language and expressions. It feels like you can tell what's happening in the scene without hearing what's being said.
I always thought that if they just cut out the NOOOOO Vader screams, that scene would not just be great, but a master piece. Having lost everything, Vader roars into the endless void, his words soundless, has his heart burns eternal, and the void, smiles.
Haydens transition from Anakin to Vader was a masterpiece that not a lot of people understood but it just gets better with time I can't wait to see him in Obi-Wan!
It’s honestly a shame he got so much hate for his acting. I thought he did amazing. His crying at the sunset gave me absolute chills, When he was turning cold with his wife that was amazing, He just put so much emotion and Tone into this movie. The only reason he was a little emotionless in the first one with him was simply because he was a teenager in that movie, and him and Natalie were trying to become teens. Let’s admit, we were all mostly awkward as teenagers. Anyway, I just gotta say, I hope he comes back to Star Wars for this rumored obi wan show.
And so he shall. Let's just hope the writers respect the prequels enough to portray anakin the same way george did rather than make him some bland heroic figure like filoni did in the clone wars.
Idk why people hate on his performance. I thought he did a good job! He’s supposed to be angsty, emotional, and cocky. I felt like Christensen delivered 🤷🏻♀️
One thing about Hayden…he is very good at emoting. That’s a skill that shows a solid foundation in acting, to be able to convey an emotion without expressing one word is a very strong skill. @5:18 is a great example of Hayden showing every emotion of Anakin, he’s processing the fact that he’s just learned you could “save someone from dying,” he’s feeling relief, confusion, trepidation, excitement, and conflicted all at once.
After Anakin turns to the dark side, his speech and mannerisms start to resemble that of Darth Vader in the suit. Pay close attention to how he uses his hands to add emphasis when he talks and the intonation of his voice changes to sound more elegant and menacing than when he used to be on the light side.
You can see the hate take over when Obi Wan cuts his legs off his eyes go from the normal color to full sith mode you can see all innocence and any hope of saving him and bringing him back to the light side of the force leave him that very moment very sad. 11:48 nearly brings me to tears so powerful of a moment in cinematic history.
Hayden make this transformation incredible well!!!You can feel the pain he is going through....the fillings... everything!! Just amazing !!! Brilliant work!!! And he is sooo hot!!!❤️❤️❤️
Silly SillyPutty Ik you probably don’t care but this always tends to happen for some reason and idk why. For example, In the hunger games the whole thing starts so Katniss can save her sister but her sister ends up dying anways and causes katniss , well , to rethink I guess . Hehe
Yes the point is, there was never a power. Palpatine just knew Anakin was in love with Padme and was afraid she’d die in childbirth…he was manipulating Anakin. Why Vader didn’t just leave once that became clear in her death? Who knows but probably because he was overcome with a desire for revenge for what Obi wan did to him, and also blamed Padme on him as well…since he knew Obi wan had told her of his turn. Now, obviously Disney has since changed things-including the discovery of how to cheat death…but when ROTS was written Palpatine was only half truthful in his story to Anakin. Palpatine’s master is Pleguis who he mentions in the story…and he was trying to learn a way to cheat death, but during his studying he never realized his apprentice, Palpatine would kill him. So ironically, he was killed by someone right under his nose, and wasn’t even able to save himself from death.
im so glad all us prequel kids recognise the critics back in the day when this released were so wrong ive always adored hayden's portrayal of anakin/ vader he never deserved the hate im so glad with kenobi being released hes finally getting to see and feel all the praise and love we have/ always had for him :)
I really loved Hayden as Anakin. Ngl there were moments where his acting was kinda bad and I was actually laughing at the ridiculousness of the lines and the way he delivered them, but there's no doubt he did a great job all in all. He nailed some of the scenes and you could really sympathise with Anakin and feel his emotions. I think he captured the light and the dark side of the character perfectly.
You can definitely tell that Hayden is mostly hated by guy but loved by like all girls. Definitely jealousy going on here. If Hayden was in a girl dominated franchise he would have been the biggest superstar at the time
Do you know what is the sad part it is the fact that Anakin didnt want to join dark side he just wanted to save Padme but he wasnt able to do it and by this mikstake he had to join dark side coz he destroyed republic
I love this actor for anakin
shame Hayden's career tanked after the prequels
@@somerandomguyfromthebeyond1821 wait really what happened to him

"No,No..It's because im so in love wih you!"
"I dont like sand its course,rough,irritating and it gets everywhere."
Also his lines in ep2 didn't help
@@MicRed1962 the prequels are bad in my opinion. And since I said opinion every argument against me is invalid (sarcasm)

No, he had no emotions because George Lucas isn't a good director or screenwriter.

1:34 6:49 8:10 10:08 11:29
Stratowind That doesn’t sound like bad delivery to me?!
Skywalker Order 8:10 what have I done was kinda silly but i got a laugh from that but everything else seemed fine to me I liked Hayden in ep 3
Uphall He was talking like Vader does though, that’s why he says yes.. my master or yes.. master?! But ok then
Skywalker Order I’m not saying it was bad I’m just saying the way it came out was silly
Anakin and Obi-Wan has such soothing voices
Yeah mostly anakin
I know right?!
Why thank you!
Thank you
Obi wan spoke mostly in poetry which is what i love about him
Haydens acting is very on point . I don't know why people said he acted badly .
Just they way George directed him
I agree Hayden did amazing 😍
Hatin'....
@@starwarseditskenobi yeah 👍
It’s because of the scene where he so easily ‘pledges himself’ to Palpatine - just was weak acting
My childhood Crush
I’m flattered but no
I’m already hooked up with padme
Anakin Skywalker I’ll take her.

How did you feel when he burned???
Furious Playz sad, but still liked him 😆
Princess Smiley Face ok thanks for the response 😀
@@toffykoala32 still smoking hot
Padmé Amidala lol 😂
Will always love this Anakin
Simply the best or better said the only actor who can play Anakin Skywalker
VHS. Dreams agreed
Clone wars was the best anakin but revenge of the sith anakin wasn’t too bad
@@pumpkinbagelpatch eh. the clone wars anakin nails the good guy charisma of anakin but is really corny in dark moments. Especially when corrupted by the son and the visions of the future it’s not believable. Anakin needs perfect balance of darkness and evil and charismatic and likable.

I couldn't imagine anyone but Hayden playing Anakin. He was perfect.
8:20 - Hayden's acting in this scene is fantastic. He's truly a broken man here, completely resigned to being used in any way necessary for a chance to save the one he loves
and then 8:41 you see his intense shame.
i miss his fluffy hair
IKR
He tried it that's why
basically the evil in person but how can you not instantly and hopelessly feel attracted to this handsome guy pls tell me bc i am confused

Jayce Jole but.... his voice.... it’s beautiful
Thats te problem! We have to turn off the volume just to not hear George's bad writing and look threw the eyes of the characters!
George Lucas says Star Wars should always be treated as Silent Movies. Thats what they are
During his idle moments you can see the inner conflict Anakin is going through
I always thought that if they just cut out the NOOOOO Vader screams, that scene would not just be great, but a master piece. Having lost everything, Vader roars into the endless void, his words soundless, has his heart burns eternal, and the void, smiles.
Anakin is awesome, a shame he had this terrible fate...
Hayden is the best actor in the Star Wars Prequels he played his role so well and with full of emotions, people have to realize that
he ain't the best
Ewan is the best
cuz he has the highground
Ewan and Ian are good.
@@benjamindiaz9396 He is a good actor but definitely not the best Star Wars actor
Haydens transition from Anakin to Vader was a masterpiece that not a lot of people understood but it just gets better with time I can't wait to see him in Obi-Wan!
La mejor transformación y más dolorosa
I REALLY LOVE how he delivered this line. 8:10
hayden’s acting is great-
Body language and facial expressions are on point, the dialogue is the problem
@@rgama1173 yeah, I can see that
13 minutes of hot topic
I can't imagine someone else playing Anakin. Hayden fits the role perfectly
0:00 Best intro
yep
Ayye ayye ayye!!??
Anakin is so cute...😍😍😍😍
hayden christensen was absolutely amazing as anakin, no other actor could have even compared

@@stewartmair3995 agreed, let’s also hope that the obi-wan kenobi series does not become another mandalorian show, like the book of boba fett did

Might be my favorite Star Wars movie
My favorite Star Wars movie. 2nd Empire Strikes back
He really does speak with Vader's cadence... Bravo, Hayden!
Can't wait for the KENOBI series!
2:20 In the theaters, every girl wetted their seats when they saw Anakin shirtless...
Godamn
Kinky much?
Why Anakin, why??! 😭
I hate the politics in the movies.but that, nah nah I ain’t havin it alright?! I ain’t having it
agreeable

he plays anakin/vader so well
The video starts with “This is where the fun begins” which is fitting
After Anakin turns to the dark side, his speech and mannerisms start to resemble that of Darth Vader in the suit. Pay close attention to how he uses his hands to add emphasis when he talks and the intonation of his voice changes to sound more elegant and menacing than when he used to be on the light side.
I love hayden so much. So glad he is back

Best character in cinema history
Don’t care what anyone says. He’s great
Video: exists
Me: This Is Were The Fun Begins
5:59 anakin is a gamer
He is so frickin hot
Anakin in episode 3 was my hero as a kid. I’d always get so sad when he turns at the end.
12:27 listen very closely. It’s him squeezing his last air out to say padme help me
Woah what the hell I’ve never realized that
Nope I don't hear it
I can someawhat hear him say it
No he doesn’t
@9:49 I always thought the hand gestures motioning to close the door was such a boss move.
Ok but when he says "if you're not with me, then you're my enemy" gives me chills
This episode of star wars is my life
0:22 Obiwan’s voicecrack:D
Siisti manki
Hayden make this transformation incredible well!!!You can feel the pain he is going through....the fillings... everything!! Just amazing !!! Brilliant work!!! And he is sooo hot!!!❤️❤️❤️
No, it’s because I’m sooo in love with you...
Best delivered line ever.
It’s kinda cringe tho
@@pumpkinbagelpatch massively cringe… that was my point
@@RS-do1of you said “best delivered like ever”
I was being sarcastic. The acting between these two was hysterically bad
@@RS-do1of what?
that warm smile when Padme tells him she is pregnant. So tragic.
dam 7:46 thats when he made up his mind.. the path of the darkside it is
He is a great actor he did a great job with Anakin
Glad to have Hayden back in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series! he is a good anakin and a great vader too!
Anakin was literally the reason I became a Jedi.
Also sucks that Padme died cause the whole point he became evil was to save Padme...?

What an amazing actor
Ahhh the memories I was 10 when goat 🐐 Anakin came about
Thanks for much for putting this together. It's awesome to see it again
6:01 anakin do be a gamer though
Hayden deserves more appreciation in this movie.
"General Grevious. Your shorter than i expected."
everyone in the theater: "OOOOOOOHHHHHH RRROOOAASSSTTEED !!!"
I /loved/ Hayden as Anakin. Even when I was little, he made Anakin my favorite character. 🥺❤️
Heheh I love him hes so hot
I can’t I’m already dating padme
@Anakin Skywalker Nobody Cares about me not even the Jedi
Anakin Skywalker your awesome
Shifting to Star Wars to save Anakin ☺️

His entrance was amazing
He’s back man. Crazy
9:33 this scene made me cry
WE LOVE YOU HAYDEN!
Anakin Skywalker is my favorite ❤ 😍❤️
0.18 underrated moment.. A jedi can not only see coming threat but also can sense when someone is about say lame ass joke!
You can meme literally every single thing he says😂😂😂
Imagine doing exactly as instructed, showing 100% or your work and still receive a poor grade
this is where the fun begans
he didnt deserve to what happened to him. i feel like he genuinly only wanted to save padme’s life.
Anakin is my favourite character.
By a lot.
So many memes, they just keep coming!
Anakin looks so much like an 80s rock star
He us
Anakin is my favourite Jedi.
