Anakin behaves the same way a lot of men who get recruited by extremist groups do. There is clear motivation for why he

If you listen closely, you can tell he's trying to use James Earl Jones' inflections. Whether or not it works with his softer voice is another story, but I do appreciate the attempt.
I think the whininess fits his arc, mommy issues and all. He is very powerful, without the maturity to temper it.
I see similarities with Luke, especially their recklessness.
I don't think the bad acting is the actors' faults. It's Lucas that's badbat directing actors, and having them act too much in green screen.

I guess they are both reckless and whiny, two pretty lousy traits to share, but I think Anakin's recklessness and whininess was in a selfish manner and Luke's was in a selfless manner. I guess that's why they one took the dark side and the other the light side. Never mind, Lucas is brilliant.

At least the character was treated as annoying. Helped a little. And it's only the first film he's really prominent in.
I do like how such a hated character is partly responsible for the empire.

I do like the political aspect. Hated it when I was 12 and Watching it in the theater. Me and a friend were just laughing at the goofy ass Asian caricature aliens.
Yeah, that type of kid character was popular at the time. Kids loved it. At that point, I think I was just a little too old to enjoy him.

I didn't so much dislike Jakes acting neither as much as I minded the poorly written character Lucas made him. Lots of mistakes…but at the end it was a complete story. Something the sequels can not claim.

The podrace scene in the theater or with a big TV and sound ind system is fun as hell. I remember it coming out when surround sound was just getting popular, and when the new, better theater just popped up in town.
