what that bulbous ball in the middle it kinda looks like a pimple

Pretty sure it's a potato

huh neat

Wait, there is more then one coon-ass on this site?

Lol, they failed hard when they casted him. When he becomes Vader and starts to talk "angry" it's not the least bit intimidating. Even Jerry Seinfeld can sound angrier.

I dunno, man. When he's not saying stupid shit, and pretty much just glaring with those orange eyes, he looks pretty intimidating.

Yes of course, he looks intimidating as fuck! Those orange eyes are really cool and all. But I meant his voice and general acting...

I'm with viscerys.
When Hayden has scenes where he is ordered to stay silent, he looks amazing. He looks exactly like the guy I would believe Darth Vader was before he became dependent on the suit.
The problem is obviously the writing and directing.
Hell there are even a few scenes where he talks that I think are worth some credit.

I just found him a bit soft... I mean, Darth Vader was really scary to me when I was a kid. And then they put some Backstreet Boy reject to play him as young and it felt ruined to me. He didn't convince me.

I'm a firm believer that that was Lucas' fault. Hayden's acted well in other movies, the prequels were just horribly, horribly directed.

I saw a movie starring him called "Vanishing" or something like that... It was terrible. Can't say I've seen much more with him.

I agree it was nothing amazing.
But I still think the majority of the blame falls on directing and writing.
I mean they even managed to make Samuel L Jackson sound lame and boring as fuck.

Yeah well I agree Lucas is to blame.
He did one thing good though, he removed a lot of boring scenes in the final cut. Saw some removed footage where Queen Amidala and some other funky fellows where sitting and talking and talking and talking forever. I'm glad they decided to add more fighting and lightsabers.
btw, Christensen wasn't complete dogshit if that's the impression I gave, I just thought he could've done a better job. Or you guys are right and it's Lucas' fault. I'll need to watch the movies again.

somehow I replied to the wrong comment....
