That’s why I didn’t like it. I think it would have been more interesting if he was actually seduced by the dark side instead of tricked. Anakin grows tired of all the politics and just wants peace so he seeks the power to end the war, getting angrier at all the stupid rules in his way. That sort of thing. As he gets angrier he pushes Padme away which just makes him angrier and sows the seeds of his self loathing.
