I think her character was the issue, not her performance. With Hayden, I think it was his dialogue that was the problem, not his performance. When Samuel L Jackson is struggling to sound authoritative, you've got a real problem with the script. Only two who rose above it were McGregor who went Shakespearean and McDiarmid who went full OTT evil.

She was awful in TFA. Hayden Christensen was simply a terrible actor, his delivery of lines was unparalleled. Daisy on the other hand wasn't so much bad acting / delivery per se, rather that she looked like she didn't even know how to act at all.

it's mixed, and she is in good company with Marc Hamill and Hayden Christensen with this. I think she was woefully miscast; a starving desert scavenger with a posh Brit school girl accent that cries privilege and those pearly oversized jaws. Boyega at least changed his accent to come across more authentic. Her acting must be separated from the writing, that beig said, I imagine it difficult to believably play a god-mode, copycat Sue character in the first place. Force Awakens: Bad acting that consisted mainly of her default expression of open-mouth with wide eyes stare mixed in with a lot of silly facial expressions and teeth grinding for close ups. Apparently it was JJ fault as he told her she was wooden; Ridley even said she did not like her performance in this. TLJ: A bit better and less blatant, but she had not much to do here; her character decisions of saving male failures like Jake Skywalker and Crylo Ben were erratic and came out of nowhere. I thought that she played the elevator-rehash scene with Crylo well, as absurd as it may have been. Also, she beefed up too much so she looked drugged and swollen (especially face) in some scenes. TROS: Many wrote that she visibly did not care anymore, and M Eisner tweeted that she played it with one facial expression, but I thought it was the - relatively speaking - best performance. Her anger expressions were bad though mostly working with her teeth; her no-chemestry kiss scene with Kylo was cringe, played it for laughs I think.    |

I think she did a fine job, all the more impressive because she was a total unknown with only a few episodes of UK TV shows to her credit when she was hired.

Did you ever see Christensen act outside of Star Wars or are you basing your opinion on his acting solely from his role as Anakin?

Yes, I'm basing that solely on his incredible performances over the two films, which featured quite a range from "I hate Sand" and "I hate you" angry to "You are so... beautiful! ... No no it's because I'm so in love with you" romantic passion. Absolutely fantastic stuff! We were rewatching ROTS the other night and he moved us all to tears of laughter. Love AOTC and ROTS now, watching as comedies... Funny because we were discussing seeing him anything else but it doesn't look like his acting career played out too well:- www.themoviedb.org/person/17244-hayden-christensen?language=en-USGuess the closest I would have come would have been that Jumper film but I couldn't bring myself to watch an Anakin / Billy Elliot team up. |

Anyway, he's no Leo Di Caprio, but he did a good job in Shattered Glass and Vanishing on 7th Street.

Abrams told her that she was wooden in the scene where Rey first meets BB-8. He was right about it too as she was a little wooden there. Still, her acting in 7/8 (I refuse to spend any money on 9) wasn't the problem. She did the best she could with terrible writing.
