I suspect the reason so many people hate Hayden's performance is because he does come across as an annoying punk and that's either not what they want or expect Anakin to be like. That then gets translated to bad acting (apparently it's not possible for a character to be unlikable or annoying).To me Anakin comes across exactly as he should, an arrogant, yet somewhat insecure punk who does have the first clue about women.Ole Stone-face Portman gets me with her ‘Oh, you slaughter a whole tribe of people, how nice’ (think of the king in the Princess Bride when Buttercup says she’s going to kill herself).Isn’t that the whole point of the entire series?I believe it’s in the Ep2 commentary that George said that he was trying to make them in such a way that I people (could) turn of the dialogue they would still the gist of what the story is about.</blockquote>
