I'm sure Affleck will be fine. The main reason why this movie will probably be shit is the people making it.
Incorrect. Ben Affleck's kryptonite is doing movie's that do not take place in Boston. He will be terrible.
qft, except I'd change it to "movies that he is not writing or directing". Pretty much everything he did with Matt Damon was really good...but most of those were in Boston...so point still holds.
I said it that way because although I thought Argo was a good movie (good not great), I thought he was mediocre at best. I can appreciate a character who is not demonstrative, but his CIA agent was apparently the same person at the end of the story as at the beginning and that, I cannot tolerate from an actor.
