Ben Affleck's Best Movies
SummaryOnce upon a time, it looked like Ben Affleck might spend the rest of his career in little-seen duds like Jersey Girl and Surviving Christmas -- a precipitous fall for a guy who won an Oscar at the age of 25 and starred in blockbusters like Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, and The Sum of All Fears. Now just look how things have changed: Having reinvented himself as a critically lauded director with 2007's Gone Baby Gone, Ben's back in front of the camera this weekend in Runner Runner, playing the sleazy head of an online gambling empire who lures a college student (Justin Timberlake) into his operation. What better time to take a fond look back at Mr. Affleck's critical highlights, Total Recall style? Back to Article

Affleck will never be in a better movie than "Good Will Hunting"!

Chasing Amy.

You may think so... but "Chasing Amy" only has 90% from RT and scored 80% from the users rating!

Ending wasn't great for Chasing Amy though it's what most people remember it for now.

The percentage of a movie sometimes determines viewers whether or not it's worth watching or not, so when you say that percentages doesn't matter, that is completely false! And although, "Hugo" was enjoyed much more with critics than with users scoring it only 78%, this doesn't change the fact that more users liked "Good Will Hunting" than "Chasing Amy"!
And I still stand by what I initially said! I mean just because you think so it still won't change the overall consensus or in simplistic terms what the general audience really thought about them!

Rotten Tomatoes isn't objectively right... Film enjoyment is subjective. I personally agree with Dave J, I think. GWH is close to better, though.

What didn't you like about Hugo? I know everyone is entitled to there opinion but calling a Scorsese film shit should require rational reasoning.

Dr. Decker
The film was overly sentimental. Yeah, I get it Scorsese, you loved films. Some aspects in the plot are just left alone. The characters were boring. I'm not gonna say all child actors suck, but a lot do. That Hugo kid was annoying after the first 10 minutes. He had no chemistry with Moretz or anyone in the film for that.

Hugo is a great movie! You have the worst taste in movies if you really think that Hugo is "shit" and Good Will Hunting is "not" better than Chasing Amy.

Dr. Decker
Who are you to tell me my taste is bad? You liked Hugo? That movie was an ass.

Meltem Ceyhan
Yeah, I liked Hugo. I liked it very much. How old are you? I ask this because I think you are a teenager if you did not understand that movie.

Who is he? Someone who's not trolling, that's who which entitles him certain rights i.e. not having to create a thousand different accounts to continue posting because people find him so annoying.

Chasing Amy sucks! I mean it really sucks lol
Oct 3 - 01:09 PM
Dr. Decker
Is that a gay joke, or something? Cause Chasing Amy is about a lesbian, no sucking.

it's an awful movie in general anyways.

It is highly unlikely.

State Of Play, The Town and Argo are all better than Good Will Hunting imo
Oct 2 - 05:47 PM
Sagar Roy
Sorry dude ... u r wrong ... Argo is good ... if u go by original story ... Good Will .. State of play and the Town are way ahead of Argo ... Argo is very good but true story ... that its only weakness ... They had the plot and story ...
Oct 6 - 09:31 AM
Meltem Ceyhan
The Town is better. Argo is really good too.
Oct 3 - 04:57 AM
Anthony Procopio
Argo is but he wasn't good in it, he literally shows no emotion through the entire film!!
Oct 3 - 01:10 PM
Meltem Ceyhan
I don't agree with that.
Oct 3 - 04:56 PM
Dave J
Some have said that "The Town" is another carbon copy of Michael Mann's "Heat"!
Oct 3 - 01:51 PM
Meltem Ceyhan
But it is not. :)
Oct 3 - 05:00 PM
Dave J
Maybe I should've said something along the lines that Affleck is never going to get a higher score then he got from "Good Will Hunting"!
Oct 4 - 03:24 PM
Gerardo Medina Pérez
Argo, The Town... Many of them are so much better than Will Hunting. Percentage is critics opinion, but we have ours
Oct 4 - 03:57 AM
Dave J
If you mean the users opinion, "Good Will..." still has higher scores than both "Argo" and "The Town"!
