Underrated

I'm probably one among the few people who haven't seen the Dark Knight yet. I heard Christian Bale's really good, I mean after all he's one of those severely underrated actors. I still remember his old Disney, Oliver Twist-like movies where he plays a street urchin who suddenly dances and breaks into song; or the boy who got separated from his parents in the unforgettable Empire of the Sun by Steven Spielberg where he managed to survive by himself amidst the chaos of the war, or the cold-blooded, calculating psycho in what else, American Psycho. In contrast, the mere mention of George Clooney or Ben Affleck makes me want to puke each time. I avoid their movies big time.
