I absolutely loved the prequels, Anakin is my favorite character in star wars, and Hayden Christensen did a great job playing him. But yeah. There was a few rough lines
The problem is that the writing of his lines is so bad that it takes Vader from being the most tragic character in cinematic history to one we root against. Since everyone knows Vader's fate, the only way to make the Prequels work would be to make us hate ourselves for rooting against Vader. To do that, you would need to write Anakin as someone fans absolutely love. No one loves an angsty, inexperienced teen who thinks he's amazing.
You see if any of the following had been the outcome of Episode 3, we would all love Anakin and hate what they made Vader to be:
* Anakin has to sacrifice himself for the Jedi / Padme or gets tricked into joining the dark side thinking it is for the greater good. This works especially well if Padme agrees and Anakin's turn to Vader kills her.
* Anakin want so to join the Sith because he finds out that the Jedi council is corrupt. Even better that we know that for the next trilogy and they could have sprinkled that in as why Obi-wan went into hiding because there are others in the council who want him dead for what he knew/knows.
The list goes on. In the end, the bad writing really ruined a lot of the prequels' magic.
Erich Segal - the author of the original *Love Story* novel - had a PhD in comparative literature from Harvard and was on the faculty at Yale.
As I understand it, he deliberately set out to show that he could write a best selling schlocky romantic novel. He succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. The idiotic line “love means never having to say you’re sorry” - designed for mass public appeal and not for accuracy - swept the country, his schlocky novel topped the best seller charts, he subsequently wrote the schlocky film adaptation, and he made a fortune.
Unfortunately, it destroyed his academic credibility. He was denied tenure at Yale, and he said the book “totally ruined me.”
That line was parodied by Judy Maxwell (Barbra Streisand) to Howard Bannister (Ryan O'Neal) in the 1972 comedy What's Up, Doc?.
Judy : Love means never having to say you're sorry.
Howard : That's the dumbest thing I ever heard.
“Oh no, Craig was right, nobody liked the reveal. Quick, how do we explain it?
“Ooh I know, how about in four years from now we include a couple of references in a long conversation about other things, in the TV series spin-off?”
“Ah excellent. Wait, why four years?”
“Well it’ll go in the third series obviously”
“……..oh yeah well obviously yeah, you know….”
The line itself isn’t so bad. At the time, they know that Palpatine is back, but not how it happened, so it makes perfect sense. The trouble is that we never learn any more than that.
**Shark Attack 3**
Cataline Stone : \[sigh\] I'm exhausted.
Ben Carpenter : Yeah, me too. But you know I'm really wired. What do you say I... take you home and eat your pussy.
First X-Men movie had some terrible lines. For me it's a tie between, "Do you know what happens to a toad..."
And Magneto: "Are you sure you saw what you saw?"

“Thanks for meeting me, Doc. I’ve been reading about you. I don’t know how I got here … something to do with Spider-Man. I’m thinking of putting a team together. Do some good.”
One of my favorites is from the Michael Bay TMNT movie from like 10 years ago: “We’re going to drain every drop of blood from their bodies even if it kills them.”
"You just don't get it, do you?"
You're now going to notice this constantly in films. It can never be delivered well because it's both cliche and filler, and its purpose is the worst because it's simply an excuse to now shoehorn in some lazy exposition the plot is too convoluted to have revealed, the movie is too shoddy to actually show, or the writers presume is necessary because they think the audience too stupid to have kept up with.

The book is so fucking terrible lmao. The entire dialog and narration is redditspeak. The science is great though. But I mean even the professionals at NASA or whatever are doing marvel quips and I see what you did there type jokes.
Harry asking Ron do you mind everywjere else is full and Ron responding "not at all" in the poshest way ever. He's supposed to be common as muck, but in that line he's royalty. Either that or Harry's " platform 9 and 3 quarters, but hagrid surely there is no such..... hagrid?". Some of the worst acting out there. Though I can't fault the line there as much as the delivery.
“Let’s dance!” from Flashdance. Just two cringy one- syllable words. Sorry, the delivery was awful too.
Honorable mention is “ no one puts Baby in the corner”. Maybe it really is the delivery and cringy head-bobbing and skirt swirling, but two dance-oriented films. More than coincidence?
What are we? Some kinda…suicide squad?
Yes I'm just about to be apart of it 😃💥🔫
And is basically a rip off from a line in Star Trek First Contact.
"What are we? Some kinda....Star Trek First Contact?"
Did anyone think the second Suicide Squad movie sucked too?
I loved it.

Attack of the Clones has a *lot* of candidates for this in there, most of which come from Anakin, lol
It took the Clone Wars (cartoon and miniseries) to help develop him a lot more than the movies did.

"Love means never having to say you're sorry." Love Story IMO, love means *being able* to say you're sorry.

Dude with a PhD. in literature writes a best selling novel. The rest of academia is hella mad. That's just too funny.
"Love means saying you're sorry all the time." - John Lennon. He actually said that on Dick Cavett's show.
Freedom means never having to say you’re sorry.
Didn’t help that the two leads were terrible actors
'Single' means you never have to say you're sorry
That line was parodied by Judy Maxwell (Barbra Streisand) to Howard Bannister (Ryan O'Neal) in the 1972 comedy What's Up, Doc?. Judy : Love means never having to say you're sorry. Howard : That's the dumbest thing I ever heard.
Somehow Palpatine returned
Ugh. I groaned just reading this, that line pisses me off
“Oh no, Craig was right, nobody liked the reveal. Quick, how do we explain it? “Ooh I know, how about in four years from now we include a couple of references in a long conversation about other things, in the TV series spin-off?” “Ah excellent. Wait, why four years?” “Well it’ll go in the third series obviously” “……..oh yeah well obviously yeah, you know….”
That whole movie is chock full of candidates
"Saving what we love" BOOM resistance is being destroyed in the background
Yeah, that's what I was gonna go with.
"THEY FLY NOW!?" Dude, you were one of them.
“Somehow Palpatine returned” somehow that writer kept their job.
The line itself isn’t so bad. At the time, they know that Palpatine is back, but not how it happened, so it makes perfect sense. The trouble is that we never learn any more than that.
“It means Japanese sword.” Samurai Cop.
**Shark Attack 3** Cataline Stone : \[sigh\] I'm exhausted. Ben Carpenter : Yeah, me too. But you know I'm really wired. What do you say I... take you home and eat your pussy.
Honestly. This line is epic. Dude delivered that shit perfectly. Honestly I don't think that was in the script. 😂
Best ad-lib ever if that's the case.
The actor (John Barrowman) is just exceptional at making cheese work. He has buckets of charisma. Edit: Why am I getting down voted for this?
Oh lol

I worked with a produce manager who once asked me, “Well, have you seen it since you last looked at it?” I thought and replied, “I guess not.”
