Oh god. Anyone bringing the newer Star Wars trilogy into an argument on the side of something making sense needs to take a step back and examine what they're talking about. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and really read what you're trying to say.
... Oh yeah, what started Anakin down the path of the dark side again?

lol. I just love the way he says it. "Do it." And that's why that argument can't hold water. The whole reasoning behind it is stupid. You should watch the Plinkett reviews:

Anyway, back to the movie we're talking about. Now, he SPECIFICALLY crushed the metal helmuts around those dudes skulls. He didn't just make them fly off like he did with the random objects in the next room. Objects that didn't just fly around randomly as I recall, they flew around in a nice neat tornado. And even before this scene we saw him warping the gate that was keeping him from his mother. This all lead me to believe that he had at least some control over his power.
And it's not even that he didn't kill Bacon's character, it's that he in no way, shape, or form, TRIED. Those soldiers he killed were armed, what stopped him from picking up one of their guns and shooting him? That adjacent room was LOADED with sharp objects, why didn't he run over and grab something? Failing that, why didn't he lash out at him with just his bear hands? I was thinking in the theater the whole time, dude, the guy who killed your mom is standing right there... Right there... Now he's patting your shoulder.... Why is this scene fading to black.... what the ****?
And what further boggles the mind is that he's shown years later, obviously having moved on with his life in his apartment or whatever, and he's sitting on the couch and he all of a sudden decides, you know, I think I'll go kill that dude who killed my mom, today.
Let's use another Star Wars example for this. That'd be like if instead of killing off the emperor and saving the day in the last film (spoilers), Vader let Luke die and the Empire win and then years later he's sitting on his ball throne and he decides, you know, Palpatine killed my son all those years ago. I should go kill his ***.
He lost his Queen to Erik's King. I'm not sure how much you know about chess, but that is probably the most ******** thing you can do in a game of chess. And no, that wasn't symbolism. Magneto and Professor X are enemies, friends, and above all, equals. Opposite sides of the same coin. And the movie did a great job showing this in fact through out the entire film... except for Charles's random inability to play chess.
