Is Christian Bale the worst actor...

[Linderbee]

Pfft. It has your name it in. A little vain are we?

Besides, the rest of us KNOW how to follow the rules, instead of creating their own to make up for shortcomings....

Say what you will, but Donald wrote the rules.

Like rule #53...

No member shall purchase any home theater equipment without first consulting dreamcastrocks

The rules are there for a reason, and they play to the clique's strengths. Quit bickering with a clique member. You're breaking rule #34.

I'll add Empire of the Sun. Bale is one of the best, IMO.

That is one of my all time fav movies - even as a kid actor he was great.

Christian Bale was the kid actor in that movie?

OK I really loved EotS but he was a kid then so I am not sure that counts.

 

[sundevilscott]

OK, fine he is not the worst and I do like some of his movies but I still think he is not the best around.

Keanu Reeves was the title holder until Affleck supplanted with a string of about three or four awful perfomances.

Besides, Keanu was credible in the Matrix. That gets him a pass in my book. Affleck was just less annoying in Good Will Hunting, and has nothing to fall back on.

I will say this: Affleck just standing in front of a camera talking is interesting. He's a smart, funny guy. He loses all appeal when he starts reading someone else's lines.

you are a gentleman and scholar. i agree

Who is the best around, if not Bale?

 

[Heucrazy]

Who is the best around, if not Bale?

Ed Norton for one.

I've never really understood this boards love affair with Bale.

 

[Matt L]

Ed Norton is better. I would take Leo Dicaprio over him and Matt Damon to round it out.

I am pretty sure that Christian Bale was in the Newsies so that merits him no higher than five...ever.

 

[sundevilscott]

Ed Norton for one.

I agree with this.

I think Norton is great. I like Damon, Leo and a classic like Tom Hanks. I also think Russell Crowe is great in most movies he has done.

 

[Cardsmasochist]

Keanu Reeves.

Hayden Christensen is wose than Christain Balle OR Keanu Reeves.

 

[Gaddabout]

Hayden Christensen is wose than Christain Balle OR Keanu Reeves.

He is very wooden, but he gets a "wait until he gets a big boy voice" pass because he was truly very good in Shattered Glass.

 

[O]

Even as a child Bale was impressive,

Empire of the Sun.

 

[abomb]

Wow. Christian Bale is easily in the Top 5 of under 35 actors today.

 

[Cardinals.Ken]

Wow. Christian Bale is easily in the Top 5 of under 35 actors today.

I would go so far as to say that he is THE top actor under the age of 35 toady.

 

[Gee!]

OK, fine he is not the worst and I do like some of his movies but I still think he is not the best around.

Stand strong man.. Screw em.. Dont let their pompuos opinions sway what you think.. Some of these fools wouldnt eat ketchup with french fries ..

 

[Gee!]

Will Smith is the greatest actor right now.. Yup, I said it..

 

[Linderbee]

Will Smith is the greatest actor right now.. Yup, I said it..

I don't necessarily disagree, but most on here have added the "under 35" to their praise of Bale. Smith is 39.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Hayden Christensen is worse than Christian Bale OR Keanu Reeves.

He is very wooden, but he gets a "wait until he gets a big boy voice" pass because he was truly very good in Shattered Glass.

Love that movie. He was really good in it.

 

[Shane]

He is very wooden, but he gets a "wait until he gets a big boy voice" pass because he was truly very good in Shattered Glass.

He was pretty darn good in Awake too.

 

[Gee!]

This thread wasnt started on the premise of under 35.. Ya know.. It was, however, talking about bad or good..

I almost spoilered what your response would be. You are so predictable & argumentative.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Yep. I am hard pressed to find someone better.

 

[redheat]

Hello..
Newsies. He can sing and dance too

That's just dumb...ketchup is meant for french fries.
