Christian Bale goes full retard


in this movie. No redeeming personality except slow. Too slow, to like as a real human being. Bad performance.

Someone's been watching Tropic Thunder. I was actually thinking the same thing though, while I was watching it.

Christian Bale and bad performance doesn't make sense. This was definitely bad writing.

indianskarl3, clever words.

for a small guy who carried an entire spectacle such as Empire of the Sun towards many other demanding roles, all of them a full variety in demands and full commitment, your sentence stands correct to the last word.

one of the greatest actors of the decade, although many do not remember his early roles, where he was always taking much upon himslef even if a movie was a complete diarhea. saying that he goes retard or slow or whatever may be only justified in context of CB in a role of an actually mentally disabled person.
