San Diego, CA To all you Hayden haters (I'm sure there's a few left)

For all the people that doubt Hayden Christiensen's acting abilities, check out "Shattered Glass" There's a reason why he acts the way he does in SW. It's the way Lucas directs him to. He's excellent in "Shattered Glass" which has him a role as far away from Anakin as you could imagine. I have to admit it is hard to see him in a different role. Kinda how Billy Dee and Mark Hamill will be forever remembered for their SW roles. There's much hope for young Hayden though. Anyways, I'm rambling. It's a good movie, rent it!

 

I thought he was great in both Star Wars flicks.

 

Hayden will always be anakin he will never have an acting career in any other films poor lad he will end up doing conventions all the while I hope he is at comic con would like to get his autograph and have a chat he seems a cool.

 

Watch Life as a House. He's even better.

 

He was alright in Life as a House. He was still whiney, but that /was/ his character. I haven't seen it recently enough to offer an extremely valid opinion of his acting in that movie.

 

Saw Shattered Glass and Life as a House.. he was great in both, and really did a LOT better in Episode III. I could even see a little "Brando" in him at times.

 

I wasn't complaing myself. But I know a lot of people still think he can't act his way out of a paper bag. I thought he was great in Ep3

 

If thats how he was told to act, then shame on Lucas! I found him to be very one dimensional with an annoying voice inflection.

 

I absolutely adore him both as an actor and as a person. Definitely check out LAAH and <i>Shattered Glass</i> if you haven't already.
