Wait there was romance in the PT?
And it's not like Portman is a bad actor.
Nah, there wasn't, you're right. It was a mix of creepy shit and cheesy awful lines.
Last I checked she is an Academy Award winner, poor actors generally don't win that accolade
That's rather reductionist. You have to think about their history. She met him as a slave, and that rattled her. She didn't know that still went on. She then says herself in TPM that it's clear to her that the Republic no longer functions.
They talk about the senate not working in AotC, and in RotS she is completely disillusioned. ("Have you ever considered...")
She also knows that what he is doing is to save her. She's not at all ok with it. She wants him to stop and leave with her. But she has MUCH more reason to be sympathetic than people seem to think.
Absolutely, his delivery goes beyond memorable. Good luck finding someone who hasn't mimicked that scene at some point in their adult life ☺
You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. It's interesting, though, that in the public consciousness one of those romances is almost universally credited as being one of the most lasting and believable portrayals of genuine chemistry to have been shown on screen whilst the other is virtually synonymous with "wooden".
Guess which is which
Yes they do.
Bad movies also win acedemy awards.

I will say somebody claiming the romance in the prequels was good must have been one of the most outlandish things I've ever read on this site. 
I mean, "the public consciousness" thinks TFA is good, so i'd take their opinion with a bucket of salt.Absolutely, his delivery goes beyond memorable. Good luck finding someone who hasn't mimicked that scene at some point in their adult life ☺

Now that's just being unfair on wood.
Keeping in mind that "value" here doesn't mean "where I get my taste from" (not that it does for most people), i'd say that I value the opinions of
-Me
-Richard Brody
-George Lucas
-Bill Maher
-Jake Gyllenhaal
-Camille Paglia
-Terrence Malick
It was intended to be hyperbolic shorthand, and do so obviously, so I thought, so, yes, of course it's reductive.
But you hold that opinion either way, so your mindset on the issue is reductive.
No.
I disagree.
Let me just stop you right there. You have no read on my mindset.
Eh, from my point of view your stance on this issue can only be arrived at through an inaccurate lens.
We've all seen the movies and we've all heard the ridiculously bad lines in the "romantic" dialogs. Nothing reductive about that. It's out there for everybody to see.
Then why don't you see the truth?
