    What I said is he's a solid actor, but he doesn't have a face that is as expressive as Casey for example or other actors. Ultimately, it makes me smile when someone says "oh he's wooden", or the same thing about another actor, that's one of the reasons why some actors have more range than others. Does that make more sense?

     

    About Batman, it will not be his downfall, he's been very careful about the project, notice how he repeatedly said "first let's get the script right before we make a movie", he knows he can't make a mediocre Batman film, and he's making sure he has something that works over meeting a release date or whatever. Seriously, if LBN getting mixed reviews starts a moronic backlash movement on his skills as a director, it'll be pathetic

    But then he also confirmed spring start date so it means pretty much nothing. WB have this date and that's it.

    It's weird that it was supposed to come out in October 2017 (and yes him being in Justice League, etc, had a part in that) only to be released almost a year before that, I guess test screenings went well, so WB decide to push forward. Maybe they rushed it a bit in the end? maybe WB wanted it shorter (they love Ben though, so who knows)? 

     

    I'd say we'll definitely an extended cut on BD, The Town had one (which is superior to the TC), Argo too (less footage, but welcome one).

    Well, he wrote and directed Live By Night so it was his job to make TC work. Also releasing LBN two years after they started filming would make it obvious it's crap.

  3. Ultimately, “Live By Night” doesn’t suggest Affleck’s lost his groove so much as that his groove has its limits. Saddled with derivative material, he can’t seem to find a fresh approach. It’s telling that the next project that finds him on both sides of the camera is “The Batman,” a studio-produced blockbuster hardly expected to take big risks. Affleck may not be a total sellout, but he’s the kind of steady-handed entertainer equally capable of making smart movies and forgettable ones depending on the task at hand. It remains to be seen if “Live By Night” is the anomaly or a regrettable new chapter in an otherwise satisfying career of intelligent escapism.

    Read them however you want to read them, it feels like there's a longer (Affleck did cut it down substantially from stuff I've seen online), more accomplished version of it somewhere, no review says it's bad. 2 hours 9 min does sound short. It's becoming a pattern with WB lately. 

    Long versions we may never see don't change anything.
