I thought he did a fine job in both SW films. The only time I disliked him is when he was forced to utter some terrible lines, not really his fault...

I'm sure it's not easy to utter awkward lines about sand and love and the kiss that became a scar while you're staring at a greenscreen and trying to get your eyeline set correctly. I love these movies, but acting in them must have been a small form of torture.

I just saw Rocky & Bullwinkle. This is the first film I have seen Robert DeNiro in and he sucks a$$. I will stay clear of every movie with him in it. He needs to quit acting, I mean come on. He is far worse then Christensen. I am thinking of boycotting all store that have DeNiro movies!

Of course he has to become an architect. How else would the Death Star get built?

Hayden at the end of RotS: "Crap, dude... that thing is huge! And it's, like, not even close to being done. I better go get my Masters degree to help you out."

... 18 years later ...

Hayden: "Done! Now lets go blow up Alderaan!"

I would say good riddance, but after seeing Shattered Glass and ROTS, I think he does have some talent. Granted, his love scenes were bad, but other than that he was quite bearable this time around. I still don't see why of all field he would select architecture. Does he plan on doing the plans for young women with his top off in front of them? Why not try entertainment law and be an agent or something?

That said....OUCH on his statements about Orlando Bloom! He can get away with it too, it's not like Legolas is going to step up to the plate and take him on, he would get bitch slapped.

Just a stab in the dark, but... Maybe architecture interests him and being an agent doesn't?

What's with the Orlando Bloom reference? I smell jealousy. I always figured he take parts in small indie-ish films until he hit his stride. But I think that's cool when you say "Hey whatever happened to that guy that was Darth Vader?" And the someone says "I don't know, I think he started building stuff" Jake Lloyd should join him.

Hey, I say he should do what he wants, I haven't had a overall problem with his acting in any of his movies. However Portman completely tanked in ROTS for me.

You know, if Ewan had *played* Obi-Wan in Moulin Rouge, I might have liked the movie more.
