I have a hard time getting past her in the Star Wars prequels.

"Anakin, you're breaking my heart!" with whiny sad face on. Hated it. I always see that part of the movie whenever she is on the screen in any other movie.
Some of the quiet scenes in V for Vendetta are my Portman nightmares. The accent makes things worse. I just think she's self-conscicous, like she's not really a natural actress. She was fine as a child actress in a couple of films but then kind of lost her naturalness.

Still, no one would look good acting against Hayden Christensen, one of the most unfortunate casting choices in film history. In a sense we're lucky that the films are so bad, because there was less for that baffling anti-actor to ruin. Padme and Anakin make the Twilight couple look like the love story of the century.
