Oh and Portman is excellent in every flick she is in

Whoa

I don't remember how she was in The Professional, I thought she was decent to good in Garden State, and I thought she was spectacularly bad in the Star Warses.

Diff strokes I guess. I think she is tallented and captures each role she plays very well. In the Star Warses (sp?) she did what she could given the direction she was getting.

She was awful in star wars. You can't really blame it all on the director even if the dialogue and scenes he used/shot were spectacularly horrible. A certain amount of blame goes on him for sure, but there have been many great actors who have given solid performances in horribly directed movies.

Star Wars wasn't just horribly directed. It was horrible everything. I thought all the actors looked really uncomfortable.

Also, I'd like an example of a movie that sucked as bad as the recent Star Wars' did...but had a lead actor that made you go "Wow!" I don't know of one.
