(10,156 posts)Natalie Portman is a great actress. Hayden was given a huge role and the bad script made Anakin look like a whiny bitch rather than a ruthless sith. It didn't ruin Ewan McGregor's career his career is doing pretty good. Same with Samuel L Jackson

(9,310 posts)playing Anakin was a near impossible task. The script did the rest.

I honestly adore this man. But he got ruined due to one thing he did at an awards show. He laughed and made a gun finger sorta. Also his ex completely drained him since she was a gold digging harpy. He is getting roles again thankfully now.
But poor Jake Lloyd. A lot of man childs attacked him for his role despite the script was awful. He was bullied in school and it just turn him into a mentally unstable person. Also the actor who did jar jar nearly committed suicide over the hate. These are the same man children that simp over Gina what's her face.
Alicia Silverstone still gets work. If that movie didn't ruin Clooney's or Schwarzenegger's careers, it didn't ruin hers.

Lindsay Lohan - meh, her career was ruined by her addictions, not by any one movie.

(9,310 posts)It was the last NC-17 movie that made any money, and the last major release when NC-17 meant 17 or over.
Since NC-17 was raised to 18+, no release has made more than $5 million.
