For you, maybe.

I'll quite gladly sit through an Uwe Boll film or a Paul WS Anderson film.


But if Affleck had been in, say, Se7en... or even, say, Saving Private Ryan, a film I rated 101%... I'd say the film on the whole was crap.

Both of those movies are yawnfests, if you ask me.

I disagree. I'm no fan of Affleck as an actor, but I've actually found him to make some otherwise intolerable films watchable. Like He's Just Not That Into You.

I guess some people just despise actors, I dislike some but there are exceptions when they do a good job. Russell Crowe - Gladiator, Tom Cruise - Mission Impossible

Yeah Ben Affleck is a deserved talent. Hell he directed the movie that won Best Picture in 2012, that's not the definition of a hack, overrated? In some ways, but not all. His presence in a film is a huge plus at least 90% of the time.

I sure am nervous he's gonna redamage what he fixed in regards to his career by playing Batman. Batman?! After Daredevil you think he'd have learned. As if the superhero stigma wasnt enough, he's playing him after Christian Bale. Bad mistake. I like Aflleck but have 0 confidence he can follow Bale. Certain intensity lacking is an understatement.

Yeah I am also nervous, seemed like a weird career move to play such an iconic comic book character to basically everyone. Also Christian Bale redefined and made batman so intense that will be hard to match.

Couldn't agree more regarding the ending of NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN...the ending is what kept this film bring a masterpiece.

To totally go wheels-off when all of you are discussing such well-thought of movies, I'll take a sharp turn and mention Happy Gilmore. This is my favorite Adam Sandler movie (although I don't like all of them) but I felt something was left out of the movie proper. Happy's grandmother is put in a nursing home and treated cruelly, although hilariously by Ben Stiller, playing a male nurse. When the movie ends, (SPOILER ALERT!) :)




Happy's grandmother is rescued from the home after Happy earns enough money to save her house from foreclosure. But Stiller receives no comeuppance for his dastardly deeds. Otherwise, it was a perfectly fine goofball comedy.

As a P.S., that plot-point was solved in the DVD's deleted scenes section, so I really can't complain but I would have really loved that scene to be in the actual movie. So maybe I shouldn't have posted this at all. Sue me! :D
