cuddlemonkey 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I'm going to have to disagree here. I've always thought of him as a solid comedic actor. Maybe I'm biased, but I think his best stuff work to date is Jersey Girl. Watching him act one second and ham it up the next is how I prefer my Affleck.On a side note, anyone else completely psyched about Gone, Baby, Gone? Link to post Share on other sites

bgumeny 0 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 "Affleck, you da BOMB in Phantoms, yo!!"Affleck's best work was DEFINETLY in Jay and Silent Bob. I think he is a solid comedic and dramatic actor, although I disagree with the 'Jersey Girl' statement. Link to post Share on other sites
Dogpatch 2 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Man, why does everybody hate Jersey Girl? I thought it was a good movie. The part where he yells at his daughter is solid stuff. I despised Pearl Harbor though. Daredevil was ok. Link to post Share on other sites
supertouch 0 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 jersey girl was an ok movie. just different from what kevin smith usually does.i liked daredevil, but i'm also a comic nerd.pearl harbor was just attrocious, it was a crappy love story with an american tragedy as the background. affleck is a pretty good actor. he has made some solid movies (dogma, chasing amy, good will hunting) and some total crap (bounce, forces of nature etc.) i saw a trailer for some new movie with him and an all star cast where jeremy piven has a hit put on him and every hitman in the world is after him, i can't remember the name though. anypne know what i am talking about?

JoeyJoJo 18 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Affleck = most over rated actor in the last 10 years. Most under rated/appreciated actor over the last 10 years?Paul GiamattiI don't think you know what overrated and underrated mean. To say that someone is overrated means that they are rated higher than what they really are. Affleck would have to be rated high before we can say he's the most overrated.Likewise, Giamatti has been nominated for an Academy Award and multiple Golden Globes, so I don't think we can say he's the most underrated. He gets his due. Link to post Share on other sites

But Brad Pitt is an equal with Tom Hanks or Morgan Freeman or Tim Robbins when it comes to acting. If anything his acting abilities are underrated due to his heart throb persona... as indicated by your ill-informed posts. When speaking of overrated actors, you definately chose the wrong guy. How about Philip Seymour Hoffman or Russell Crowe? They're just awful... right? Link to post Share on other sites
