It'd be like Shia LaBeouf cussing out someone on the crew for breaking his concentration during a scene from Transformers 2. Good, fun action flick. But its absolutely nothing more.

And for the ridiculous amount of money Bale is getting out of this, you'd think he could keep his temper in check.

He just comes off as an immature, unstable 'actor'. With a serious ego trip.
This is coming from a person who obviously has no experience with acting or working with actors.

I've had to take university acting classes as part of learning to be a director and it's tough man. Let me tell you.

It's not as easy as flipping on a switch and then boom you're acting. You're trying to realistically portray a character in a certain scenario while in reality you're not really there and there's a shit load of crew doing stuff and lights all over the place.

It's hard to be in the moment and it's even harder when there's crazy shit breaking your concentration.

Also, just because it's a Terminator movie doesn't mean that he's not going to try his hardest to bring his character to life. That's why he gets paid as much as he does. If you went into a project with the mentality that "oh this is a Terminator movie and I won't get any Oscars so I don't have to try that hard" you would NEVER WORK AGAIN.
