Christian Bale....worst Jesus ive ever seen!


i mean not only is he waay too buff for Jesus (who is surprised he carried that cross?) but he also does not play a "kind" sort of man like Jesus well at all. he was so angry alot of the time! and then the year later he plays a more typical bale role, american pshyco. to think he played Jesus the year before that terrible film! yeesh.

Oh really? How do you know? You got a picture of Jesus to prove that statement?

LOL Jesus was a man was he not??

So in that case he would have had all of the emotions a man would have.

I frankly thought he played a more 'realistic' Jesus than I've seen before, He played him like he was frustrated and human and struggling with his place in it all.

In Jesus's time he was renounced several times by many before crucifixion,The man was trying to spread a belief system, a religion, and he really didn't become the Jesus we know today until after his death..Death propels someone higher and more mythical like.

I actually thought he did a great job and his "father, why have you forsaken me?" scene on the cross was brilliant.

And LMAO about you complaining about him doing America Psycho 2 years later...That's called versatility and range, and is the mark of a good actor.

Jesus was a carpenter who did a lot of hammer-pounding and saw-pushing; he probably would have been quite well-muscled for his time.

Read the Bible passage about the moneychangers in the temple. Jesus sounds like Batman cleaning up on the Joker in that story.
