4. Ben Affleck As Matt Murdock/Daredevil - Daredevil (2003)
If Batman & Robin is So Bad Its Good (its not, really, but its closer to that than this film in any case) then 2003s Daredevil is downright defective. The current Daredevil television series is proving that there is indeed heft in the Marvel creation, but theres none to be found here or in Afflecks laughable performance; the film is a weightless exercise in cinema, an obvious low for the Marvel franchise pre-Iron Man. It doesnt help that Afflecks turn as blind-lawyer-come-crime-fighter Matt Murdock came before his own professional renaissance (The Benaissance?), making it a lot easier to ridicule the man who is now a thoroughly effective actor (and director for that matter). But still, bad is bad, and boy is Affleck bad here. He doesnt even seem comfortable with the physical action, something which is often used as a counter-balance to inept action-hero performances: Yeah, hes bad, but at least hes believable/efficient in the action scenes (see Taylor Kitsch in True Detective Season Two for a good example of this notion in play). Affleck will hope to have a better time of life in the superhero canon when he takes on the role of Batman in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, a promising superhero comeback vehicle if ever there was one.
