    His best films

    • Empire of the sun
    • American psycho
    • The Machinist

    Apart from these films, most of his other films like

    Rescue Dawn
    The Batman series
    3:10 to yuma

    ...I thought his performances were actually terrible. Batman Begins, the film is good, but he makes a terrible batman.
    Rescue Dawn, his acting did not suit the role in any way or form..

    I'm sure he's 100% determined to be one of the greatest actors of all time. But it doesn't mean he is..

    What do u think? Overrated or great actor??

    The minute Christian Bale said "i'm Batman" I knew the Batman franchise was ruined.

    I'm just hoping he doesn't ruin the Terminator series.

    every actor has his up and downs, bad acting movies and greats success movies.

    it's not an overrated actor for sure, and who knows what future will do for him. It's well known that if an actor fits well into his role, may be an stunning appearance in that movie.

    Al Pacino have a great career, he is my top 5 favorites, but cannot observe that even this sacred monster have some bad acting roles ("People I Know") .

    I think he did an awesome job in Velvet Goldmine. Of course this is a movie one would have to watch with a VERY open mind, and it's not for watching with children around. It has a lot of mature and adult content. If one can get past seeing just homosexuality in the movie, one will see that Bale did a fabulous job of portraying hurts caused by over religous parents. I cry everytime I watch this one, he did a great job!

    Bale's a good actor as compared to other actors around who command the same salary as he does.

    I'm not sure if he is really on the A list of actors. If he can go beyond his Batman role, then he is better.

    I think he's a very good actor, though definitely every actor has a few roles which don't fit.
