10 Actors Who Virtually Guarantee A Terrible Blockbuster Movie
3. Ben Affleck
It is a question that has generated constant debate for well over 20 years now; is Ben Affleck a good actor? The answer seems to be a resounding yes, provided that he's kept as far away from massive budgets and studio interference as possible.
Having reinvented himself as an acclaimed filmmaker over the last decade, Affleck has given a string of consistently solid performances in The Town, Argo, Gone Girl and The Way Back. He even had the potential to be one of the all-time great big screen Batmen, but found himself majorly let down by the quality of the movies he starred in.
Based on how his time in the DCEU came to an abrupt end, as well as his previous track record for dismal blockbusters, the two-time Academy Award winner should definitely maintain his recent focus on smaller-scale projects.
Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, The Sum of All Fears, Daredevil, Paycheck, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League didn't exactly endear themselves to critics, and lent weight to the theory that Ben Affleck's unique reputation among movie fans was based largely on poor choices and bad publicity.
