    So this issue doesn't sully the Fallout 4 thread I thought I'd create a seperate one out of courtesy.

    I really really cannot get my head around how some people consider him to be a good actor.

    He really does look like he is trying to poo when he attempts to emote and people say "well he directed and was in Argo and he's quite good in that.....blah de blah de blah blah", but shit has to stick at some point.

    He also directed and was quite good in The Town.

    Is it because he's...like...so much more successful than you Madder-Max?

    Is this what jealousy looks like in text form?

    Either way, I like Ben Affleck, he's got fire in his eyes and thunder in his heart.

    He's fucking Batman!

    No you doughnut. In my own opinion I just don't rate him as an actor.

    Put him and christian bale in a scene and it would be case closed.

    Basically, I think people don't like him because of pearl harbor.
    I bet he regrets that role.

    He was shit in his early blockbuster years, but the town, Argo and run baby run have proven him to be quite a director, and in two of them he was actually likeable and gave half decent performances.

    I'm looking forward to seeing him as Batman, so I guess I like Ben Affleck.

    I even like Jersey Girl.

    I don't really rate Bale as an actor. He's just trying so hard most of the time.

    Maybe it was just Snyder but the guy who plays Superman is terrible. Affleck has been good in a few films but Snyder will bring him crashing down unless Affleck tells him to fuck off.

    Who is worse, Ben Affleck or Keanu Reeves?

    Cavill didnt really have much to work with. I think even Fishburne got more lines than he did.

    Watch 'The Company Men', a fine performance in a very good film. And also for a terrific Tommy Lee Jones.

    The Town is also good, a loose remake of Heat but still entertaining throughout.

    In the bad movies he has been in, he has rarely been the problem. Pearl Harbor wasn't really his fault.

    The movie Pearl Harbor wasn't really his fault either.

    I liked the town. Nothing else. I loved the scene in family guy with him and Matt Damon

    Edit: That was probably the best Ive seen him act, and it wasnt even him

    I really like him. Great actor and writer/director. Definitely matured in later years.
  • Deleted user 3 December 2013 14:03:47
    He's good in Hollywoodland.

    Which btw means he will be the first person to play both Superman and Batman (kinda).
