Ranting about Anakin

Okay, you know what? This is like one of my biggest movie pet peeves if you can call it that. two words (though I'll explain in way more than that). Anakin. Skywalker. Okey dokey time to start in on a new rant!

Okay, Anakin is this really annoying, pooey, brat who whines about everything and gets the dumbest lines. Let's start with Ep. I, ok? Anakin is played by Jake Lloyd, this cute little kid who's got the perfect looks for Anakin. But when casting him, I think they forgot one thing. The kid can't act!!! He's never had a speaking role in his entire life! Has anybody ever seen Jingle All The Way? Alright, it's got Aahnold Shwarzenegger and Jake Lloyd in it. Lloyd plays Aahnold's son and all he has to do is run around and fight over who gets to be Turboman. If they got anybody they should've gotten Haley Joel Osment! I mean, at least he can act and at least he looks some what like Hayden Christiansen! But noooo, instead they get some little kid who can't act and interrupts himself. I'm not kidding, he does actually do that. When Qui Gon Jin tells him to stay put, Anakin says, "But I-" and there's this pause before Qui Gon says "Stay in that cockpit" .I mean the kid is already a terrible actor but to interrupt himself!? If you ever become a famous actress or actor, please never interrupt yourself! And don't get me started on George Lucas' dialogue! The guy can't write dialogue worth beans! He gives Anakin lines like, "Let's try spinning, that's a good trick!" That's a good trick? That's a good trick?! I mean c'mon! Moving on to Ep. II. Anakin is now an incredibly arrogent teenager who's in love with a Senator who's ten years older and hasn't seen in 10 years. He's also a whiny show off. He likes to do "tricks" with his speeder and shows off for Padme unashamedly. ...I'll go off on a side note to say that it seriously bugs me that Padme decides to marry this really annoying whiny poohead, who she has seen become incredibly angry and kill off an entire village. "Not just the men, but women and children" straight from Anakin's own mouth!... In this movie we see Anakin become overconfident and get his had chopped off by Dooku. Now, Ep. III. Okay, the most annoying line from this movie? "It's not fair!" It's not fair? It's never been fair, they've never trusted you, and you don't get to be a Jedi Master so get over it! Why does he listen to the emperor, who everyone but him sees as a danger to the Republic! Why does he think he can abtain the power of God? And why in the world does he ask "Where's Padme?" when he wakes up? I mean come on! Where's Padme? And then he pulls a Frankenstein and -okay, enough ranting for now. I'll write about something I do like next time alright?
