Film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
- Thread starter EvilChuck
- Start date
Ben Afleck has one thing going for him at least; he'll make a better Batman than George Clooney.
I know people in India who have that going for them!
Ah come on, everyone will know who Batman is with his arse shaped chin.
Ben Affleck? He must have friends..
Was there a worse superhero movie than that one btw? A funking love triangle? I waste use whether I was watching batman or a 90's Bollywood movie.
He did win an academy award for Argo,somehow.
I wouldn't go as far as 'shit' ... but he wasn't anything special, not that the role required him to show off much in the way of acting chops mind.
Daredevil was pretty bad.
Well, technically, the film won an award - Affleck himself didn't win the best director award or anything.
Mind you, considering the competition, it was one of the better films to pick from.
This. He did justice to a role that was not very challenging.
I didn't like it to be honest. I only silver linings playbook out of the other contenders and preferred it. Argo was just a bit flat for me. Nothing particularly interesting about it. It didn't move me. It didn't enlighten me. It was just okay viewing.
You should watch our superhero film, ra.one. You'll never watch another film again.
Same. I've no idea what all the fuss was about.
I really liked the opening scene and there was a tense moment in the airport that lasted about sixty seconds, but other than that nothing happened. Afleck was virtually anonymous.
It essentially won the Oscar because it depicted America shoving it to some foreign country. All Oscar winners these days depict America shoving it to some foreign country.
Team America was spot on.
True, and considering the alternative for that was Zero Dark Thirty (which is crap), I'd rather it was Argo.
Personally I'd have given it to Life of Pi.
Yep, Life of Pi was truly outstanding and Zero Dark Thirty was worse than Argo.
That's because America is usually shoving it to some foreign country
I know the oscar for best film is usually given to a certain "type" of film, but they've been taking the piss of late. Slum dog millionaire was only given the award because it was based around poor children. It was such am average film. Even the music composed by our most prominent composer, a.r Rahman, was woeful compared to his other work, won the award for best music. Then there'd Argo who was average. I didn't even like that movie about he bomb defusing team, thought it was utterly boreing (expect many to disagree with this one).
Personally, I think Slumdog is brilliant - and only recieves a backlash because it got so much acclaim. It is an incredibly well made movie - a different/actually quite interesting story told in a very compelling way.That's because America is usually shoving it to some foreign country

You're right on Hurt Locker though - one of the most overrated movies in years.
I can't believe Ben Afleck is Batman 
The world's biggest Batman fan, my dad told me the other day that Orlando Bloom was being lined up. It could have been worse then.

Sacha Baron Cohen would make a less appropriate Batman; why didn't they go for him?
They should have gone for Meryl Streep just to test the academy.
I'll be interested to see where he goes with it, he might just surprise us.
I seem to remember a lot of people having reservations aboutTom Hardy being "too small" to play Bane, and Daniel Craig being "too blonde" to play JAMES Bond.
Sometimes an actor can pull something out of the hat, and I think Afleck could pull off an older Bruce Wayne quite well. I have no idea how Batman & Superman stories link in DC Comics, and what arc the story will follow - but I'm looking forward to it.

It's not Henry V is it? You basically just need hair, legs, a good chin and the ability to speak in a low growly whisper occasionally. Sometimes you have to stare off into the distance and look a bit angry. But Nolan's done his serious take, and he's playing a cameo in a Superman film, so it's basically just the hair, legs & chin.
Affleck is an infinitely better actor than Henry Cavill is. Or Toby Maguire. Or Thor Guy. Or half the people who're playing Superheroes at the moment. I've no idea what people are complaining about. He looks the part. Can act. Done.
Shut up geeks.

Looks like him to direct the Justice League movie wasn't so far fetched then.....gives me vague hope for it, he's a good director.
Next best thing though.
If he takes over directing from Visionary Director Zack Snyder then we may have something.
I'd have Affleck over Gordon-Levitt anyday.
I swear Ben Affleck said he would never do a Superhero film again after Daredevil because he hated being in a suit all day? Shows what money can do. I dont mind him as an actor but I dont think he can pull off Batman, especially with a distinctive chin like his. I hoped for it to be Josh Brolin as him being an older and wiser Batman against a youthful and rash Henry Cavill would have had the two characters being different enough to go at it...
Terrible casting.
First Willian, and now Affleck to replace Bale.
Spurs fans must be fuming.

Apparently he's going to have a five minute monologue about a possible Star Trek script.
Argo feck yourself.
No, but he did win an academy award years ago for the script of Good Will Hunting!
Anne Hathaway did it better.
Now compare this, so called new Batman to Michael Keaton's performance in 1989... Even Bale couldn't compete in brilliant Nolan's attempt.
Affleck may bring similiar style to Val Kilmer's performance which may be not that tragic but still lacks Keaton's depth like friggin hell.
I think, I would rather have Carl Urban or Jonny Depp as Bruce Waye/Batman. Affleck will need to make literal miracles on the set to save his face from inevitable flaming from Bat-fans.

Johnny Depp!Michael Shannon would make a proper cool Batman.
No it didn't. America told Affleck to let them feck themselves. He didn't listen. They wanted to leave people behind rather than possibly look foolish trying to save them.
What? Batman at least has to be good looking. Bruce Wayne is a partyboy, a ladies man. Shannon is the next Jaws in a Bond flick should there be one.
