Yeah, that part is a bit of a joke, but then if a man why not a dwarf? I think the idea is that it sits well with her character's youthful impetuousness (she's 'only' 600 years old), and the general more 'pure' philosophy of the elves. In my opinion, at least, the fragile relationship between dwarves and elves in the movie releases is not what it seems in the overall Tolkien universe.
In short the love rival aspect should have been left out, but it is still a staple part of a Hollywood movie.

No. The thing is, it's not enough to be one of the best actors, you also have to star in films that will be remembered as masterpieces. Pacino, De Niro and Brando are remembered because of the amazing films they were in as much as because of their amazing performances.
I can't think of one film considered a masterpiece where Bale gave a fantastic performance. Some will say the Batman films are masterpieces (I don't agree), but he sure as hell didn't give an Oscar worthy performance there. He probably gave his best performances in The Fighter, The Machinist and American Psycho, and those films are sure as hell not masterpieces. He's still young though.

Your initial point was that "bale will go down as one of the best actors ever". When you say "go down as", I assume you mean that he will go down in history. But what history? It seems like you were looking for some kind of consensus. You may be right that it doesn't matter what the so-called experts can agree on, but if that's the case, then why be bothered if he goes down in history or not? - - - Updated - - -
And yes, I'm pedantic...
