At best his recent work would be generously called "below average" acting.

I think it each project presents its own set of difficulties.

My opinion is that he was very believable and convincing in both Argo and The Town. That's all I ask of an actor: Is he or she believable?

Personally, I couldn't care less about prior performances. Most actors have a very long list of very forgettable (and often very bad) movies.

Affleck, IMO, is ascending.

I've always thought that most comic book heroes, especially the DC comic heroes, were dumb. When I was growing up, Batman was a cartoon, bordering on goofy. Same with Robin, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, etc. It was very difficult for me, as a thinking person even then, to buy into to such nonsense.

The Micheal Keaton Batman movies were a comic book brought to life. I didn't like any of those movies. Superman was "fun" but the sequels were a joke (as was the casting of Lois Lane). The old Wonder Woman series with Lynda Carter was dumb as ****.

Christopher Nolan got it right. The Dark Knight trilogy was a amazing. The first Iron Man film was really entertaining. The first Thor movie showed promise. The Green Lantern and Captain America were boring and trite. The Hulk with Ed Norton showed promise but Ang Lee's version was shit, IMO, as was Iron Man 2 and especially, The Avengers.

I couldn't care less about Batman Vs. Superman because I think that Zach Snyder is a schiester hack. But I think Affleck has real Hollywood talent, so I'll hold out judgment until I see the inevitable piece of shit movie it will most likely be.

Snyder must of missed that abortion known as Daredevil

Dane.
****ing nailed my opinion.

The Avengers is laughable. You take Iron Man (realism, based on technology much like Nolans Batman) and plop him down in a world full of superheroes and other dimensional worlds... bullshit. It's hard to find someone who agrees with me here. I absolutely HATED the idea of the Avengers, and I HATE the idea of bringing Batman and Superman together. Don't get me started on the ****ing Justice League.

You realize Iron Man isn't real right? Its comic book science fiction.
