I'd say the dialogue is probably equally bad. The acting seems to be better in some films more than others. Good acting can sell shitty dialogue....

I'd say that the OT actors were probably able to overcome the shortcomings of Lucas as a director in ANH, whereas the PT actors, especially Natalie Portman, had a tougher time.

But, for the life of me, I don't get how Hayden is panned for his performance while Portman is left off the hook. When I watch their scenes together, I see Hayden acting and Portman just lifelessly reciting lines. It's her performance that kills all their scenes together....

In all fairness, working as an actor on the OT would be a completely different experience than working on the PT. i.e. There was much more of this with the PT than the OT:

I could buy that excuse (to a degree) for TPM. But, once that movie came out, everyone knew what Lucasfilm was capable of making the environments look like onscreen.

TFA had similar shots and the acting in those was fine.

I think it's more a combination of a) Lucas's directing, and b) many people really disagreed with the way Lucas wanted to portray the character of Anakin.
