The Fighter

Hands down, Christian Bale is the best goddamn actor of his generation. I could say it's Heath Ledger or somethin', but the dude's dead!

R.I.P. homie!

Now you could pit my boy Bale against any would-be pretender, but this guy seems to method act more than Daniel Day Lewis does on dickhead mode.

Well not exactly crystal meth, but what the hell?!?

When Mark Wahlberg mentioned that Manny Pacquiao was also a factor that made him play Micky Ward, I kinda' half-expected him to bust some Pacquiao moves.

Without busting a single move.

What we saw was far from it. Like a washed-up Buster Douglas perhaps?

Washed-up Mike Tyson sounds better.

Too bad Marky-Mark didn't take his method acting cue from Mr. Bale. I believe he didn't put in any real effort in cutting weight to get that welterweight look.

Does this look like 147 to you? Hell no!

 At least Christian Bale knows how to have the body type of a crack addict.

Crack could also help you cut to lightweight.

As far as biopics go, this one did the character justice, even if I haven't read much about Micky Ward. Though his name definitely rings a bell, even if I haven't been closely followin' the boxing scene for the last decade. I'm just not that big of a fan.

This gets an 8.5 outta 10 just because Christian Bale's in it.

And pretty much all of Nolan's Batmen get at least an 8.5.
