He should leave the acting to his brother who is very clearly a way better actor." All my opinion. If Ben Affleck directs something I'll go see it. Also, I don't have any problem with love interests in this type of film (or any type of film for that matter). I think that will only hope that it makes the story a thicker and more gel-like film. Plus it is always good to help get the story more interesting for everyone to enjoy. That way it's not just a story for (mainly) males or females it can be more roundly and widely followed and enjoyed.

And he was only good in that because he played an egocentric prick... which isn't acting for him. Anytime I see Affleck I think "no thanks"! This goes right along with John and Doug's live comments about moviegoers needing to stop going to see crappy leads if Hollywood is going to give some new talent a shot. Just say no to Ben Affleck movies! He hasn’t done anything decent since Boiler Room. And he was only good in that because he played an egocentric prick… which isn’t acting for him.

They throw shit in there to appease women, when we don't need to be appeased. Most of us(the good ones) love watching action sequences just as much as the guys do. We don't need some garbage love crap taking away from the story. The love crap took a big chunk out of the Ocean's 11 remake that could have been spent getting to know the team members better. i want to see heists and shit, not watch The OC with a bank robbery as a backdrop.
