Ok. you're right he doesn't overact all his lines. Just half of them. The other half he acts out in a monotone.

His best movie post-American psycho was The Prestige. And even that suffered due to his lack of acting. Seriously. Watch the movie and listen to how he delivers...every...single...line....in...that...movie. The tension between both magicians could have been much greater and more meaningful to the tragedy that befalls their competitive nature if it wasn't for him.
I agree with Prestige, but i disagree with they way his lines were delivered. You have to remember, the director is there to direct him on how to act. Maybe that iw the angle they wanted? Who knows.

Either way, i like Bale as an actor, moreso becuase of his American Psycho protrayl...but he can only ride that train for so long before it derails.

What is so great about American Psycho? I re-watched that recently and was even more disappointed with it than I was when I first saw it.

I read the book(after the movie actually) and found it much more enjoyable.

What makes it entertaining? Not sure how many different ways you want me to ask the same question . . . . .?
I liked the period setting (the 80's), the plot(is dude really crazy or is it in his head?), the acting (Bale plays a great ego-tistical macniac killer), and the score. Anything else?

And just for future notice, no one HAS to list WHY they liked a movie...if you are entertained by it, you are entertained by it...plain & simple.


ALWAYS?

Really?

I can name plenty that I found more enjoyable than the book. :(
Go for it...

haha this is still one of the funniest killings in a 'horror' movie ive ever seen


prestige was cool, mainly because i got hella deep into it and barely guessed the ending. i dunno this rant or whatever you want to call it wasnt shit, sounds like he was nagged and nagged by that annoying ass guy fucking with the lights and finally had to spell it out thick for the dude. sounded pretty reserved to me, he even complimented him at one point but said dude just wasnt a professional. shits overhyped, but funny nonetheless.

btw dude has a hella thick accent and comes across with almost flawless 'english', that seperates him from a lot of actors with just that

You don't have to, but if you are attempting a conversation that includes your opinion you should be able to describe how you arrived at your opinion. You don't just have an opinion of something. There are factors that cause you arise at such an opinion.

Off the top right now I would say . . .

I preferred The Godfather film to the book even though I quite thoroughly enjoyed the book.

I preferred Jurassic park the movie to the book.

I preferred Clockwork Orange the film to the book.

The Shining movie > book

Band of Brothers mini-series > book

Dracula (even coppola’s) > book

The Prestige I figured out the first time I watched it like half way in. I actually enjoyed it more on repeat viewing I found bale’s character much more empathetic and tragic.

to be honest, that would be hella frustrating if you were trying to get some shit done and someone kept fucking it up over and over, like if you were in the middle of rapping a verse, and it was coming out perfect, and all of the sudden someone blasts an airhorn into the microphone. so if that guy was warned a few times not to do that, then he deserved to be yelled at, if that was the first incident of a mistake and bale just went off on him, then bale is an asshole.

thats what i got out of it to.cant blame bale,i can only imagine how many takes them actors gotta do in movies over and over again then some fuckin idiot is fuckin with shit that dont need to be fucked it then they gotta do even more takes...aw man....
