In this dreadful excuse for special effects even Natalie Portman and Ewan McGregor are dreadful. I blame the director and writer of this drek: Lucas. I know they can act brilliantly, but if the director won't let them do anything but whine and act out of character (Obi-wan would never have left Anakin to die alone but would have administered a coup de grace, damnit) what can they do.
The good ones managed, though. Christopher Lee showed more acting chops in a single expression than HC managed through half the movie. And McGregor and Portman both showed, some light in their eyes.
Maybe it was inexperience showing, but HC seemed to be sleepwalking. I mean, the pitch of his voice never even changed. He was like a bored high school junior being forced to read for a part in the school play.
