I'm willing to bet that that is a very ignorant statement produced from an opinion based on seeing Christensen only in the Star Wars prequels. Have you ever seen Shattered Glass? Christensen portrays Stephen Glass very very well in that movie. Enough to get me to buy the film on DVD. I've heard the same about Life As a House, although I haven't seen it myself.

I'm fairly certain it is Lucas' directing and writing that caused Christensen to be less than stellar in the Star Wars movies. I mean, look at Natalie Portman. She got an Oscar nomination for her role in Closer, but she causes me physical pain every time she opens her mouth in RotS.

I think Hayden Christensen can act, he just wasn't given the chance in the Star Wars movies.

Unfortunately, I think the prequels have pretty much killed his reputation...

I actually thought that Hayden did an excellent job portraying Anakin, considering what he was given to work with. Take the Ep. 2 dialogue when he's describing killing the Tuscan Raiders. The dealogue is sophomorish to say the least, and Hayden actually pulled off a nice little bit of characterization from it.

I'm an actor myself, and anyone who says that there are no bad plays, only bad actors, doesn't act. Its impossible to make gold from a pile of ****. Hayden did as best as one could expect.
