Best & Worst of Ben Affleck

Article by Gabe Zia
This week, we've got a big film for 2014, which is David Finchers latest film, Gone Girl, based on the book of the same name. A few weeks ago, I talked about the films other star, Rosamund Pike. So this week I'm gonna talk about the films main star, Ben Affleck.

Ben Affleck has had an interesting career to say the least. From being a popular actor, to a less popular actor, to a great director, and he's the next Batman. So, with a career like that, there's gonna be some good films and some bad films. For me, his best film is one that he also directed, which is The Town.

Most people would go for something like Argo or Good Will Hunting, but I'm gonna go for the film that I personally think Ben Affleck was amazing in, and proves he will make an awesome batman. This film has pretty much anything you need for a solid action thriller. Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner are both really good in the movie, it's got a solid plot, the action is gritty, and it's really intense. Not exactly nail biting, edge of your seat intense, but it's intense enough to get the blood flowing.

Now, when Ben Affleck was announced to play Batman, there was a lot of cause for concern. Me? I'm sure he'll do fine, and The Town only serves to help that theory. I think he'll make a way better Batman than he did with Daredevil.

We're very lucky to live in a post-Iron man world right now. Because before then, Marvel fans had the X-Men movies, the Spider man movies and Blade. That was it, the other Marvel films were garbage. And this film might just be the worst of them, why exactly? Take your pick, it's a pretty long list. The horribly miscast characters, the bland and poorly written script, awful dialogue, and horrible effects. Marvel movies nowadays? I'd say watch almost all of them? But you can skip Daredevi. Everyone can skip Daredevil.
