Yes I'm a prequel hater, but I think even fanboys realize that you could fill the Death Star with all of Hayden Christensen's "bury your head in your hands" moments.

Some very talented people came across looking like absolute ass in those movies. Hayden Christensen is not a great actor, but I 100% blame the dialog and director for every turkey shit moment.

I'm tempted to post many James Bond clips in this thread. But, I've always laughed at this particular one from Moonraker.

The whole clip is embarrassing, but the Jaws standing broad jump around 0:35 is a personal highlight.

I remember watching Episode 2, those love scenes between him and Natalie Portman...those were just awful.

Absolutely. And Christensen was fabulous in Life as a House and Shattered Glass.

This is one that always jumped out at me.



A really intense scene that was almost ruined by some awful acting choices by Brad Pitt (particularly after 3:00).

The correct answer to this is every frame f Batman & Robin. But, in the sake of advancing a thread... I'll try to come up with some more examples.

Agreed. I actually like Pitt for the most part, but this scene and in other movies he has moments that leave much to be desired.

Those over-the-top, hysterical crying scenes are tough to pull off. Although Sean Penn is pretty freaking good at it.

Also, At Close Range, which is a ridiculously underrated movie. He and Walken are amazing together.

I'll give Pitt a pass. It's early in his movie career and he's playing a tough, alpha male cop who is reacting to his pregnant wife's head being cut off. It's a daunting task for any actor.

It's not that difficult. I'm pretty sure I could do a better job.
