Reviews Featuring Christian Bale
Equilibrium
Laughably bad sci-fi noir.
Reign of Fire
Flawed but enjoyable dragon-slayer tale based on an interesting idea but which could be better executed.
Laurel Canyon
Empty-skulled drama that just doesn’t have anything to say.
Batman Begins
In his best, and darkest, outing to date, the masked avenger's personal 'issues' reflect those of the world in the wake of 9/11.
El Maquinista
Christian Bale gives his best by giving less in this nightmare tale of a machinist who is one tool short of the full set.
Pocahontas
The message is a bit clunky and the story suffers through its lack of willingness to take any risks with the tried-and-tested Disney formula – but it’s not bad.
3:10 to Yuma
A great movie, with a great cast, gripping plot and some interesting twists. This is a Western as they are meant to be.
Terminator Salvation
There’s really nothing to recommend about this cold, dreary sequel, unless, of course, you’re just one of those people who needs closure—though even at that, you don’t really get it.
The Dark Knight
This sequel to Batman Begins is better than its predecessor, and Ledger’s Joker will go down as one of the best screen villains of all time.
Public Enemies
An average gangster biography that just doesn’t leave enough for the heavyweights to play with.
The Prestige
Christopher Nolan's magical mystery tour provides impressive plot twists galore and oozes real star quality.
