Christian Bale: 5 Awesome Performances and 5 That Sucked

4. Terminator Salvation (2009)

Bale€™s Character: John Connor It€™s very unlikely that I€™m going to enjoy a film made by someone who€™s credited as their nickname. It€™s not impossible; it€™s just a general rule of thumb. I mean, €˜McG€™? Please. Bale isn€™t even a fraction of his best as John Connor and seems to spend much of the movie screaming orders, screaming pleas, screaming at the D.o.P€oh wait, that wasn€™t in the movie. It€™s just such an annoyingly€shouty performance and lacks so much of the characteristic depth and subtlety that Bale is acclaimed for being capable of offering€ €which leads me to believe that he simply wasn€™t very well directed. Well played McG. Or should I say Joseph McGinty Nichol.
