Dude, Anakin is a teenager. A teenager with serious problems.
Like fuck, Hayden's acting wasn't always stellar but people don't actually pay attention to how Anakin is actually portrayed and why he has the issues he does.
He's arrogant and confident in his own abilities, feels that Obi Wan isn't the most sympathetic of mentors, and has visions of people he loves dying.
Like-damn people expected Anakin to be...what?
Fact is, he became a Jedi when he was too old.
Anakin was a emo bitch raised by warrior monks who probably never allowed him the personal space needed to masturbate, let alone develop as an individual. Besides bad dialogue, the problem with the prequels is the time skip between episodes 1 and 2. If he had been a little younger than Luke and jumped straight into a protracted war instead of fucking about chasing sith Holocrons, monsters of the week and diplomatic chores for a decade, they could have done a lot with his character. It was poorly executed from the start, no bitching about filoni or Disney can change that. People ironically like episode 2 and parts of three like they enjoy the Rocky horror picture show
