Spoiler!

Given the way Kylo Ren is portrayed in Ep 7, I think an inevitable comparison between him and the Anakin from Ep 2 is appropriate.

In Ep 2, Anakin is also a fledging padawan. He is young; he is not fully trained; he is hot headed and impulsive. Corny dialogues and scripts aside, however, he is infinitely more bada$$ and capable than Kylo Ren is. He help chased down and subdue an assassin. He escorted (and courted) Padme. He wiped out a whole Tusken Raider clan, "slaughtering them like pigs". He basically got pwn3d by Dooku, but Dooku is an extremely powerful, full fledge Sith Lord, so that one is excusable.

Poor acting / directing aside, Anakin is so much more than Kylo Ren is.
