Will Ben Affleck Ever Recover His Career After 'Gigli'?!? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Sure, Ben is still making movies, some of which were halfway decent. However it seems after the disaster which was 'Gigli', he lost that "A list" status. Nobody wants to put him in big budget movies anymore. He is basically making a lot of indie films and direct to video fare.

It's been almost 7 (!!) years since that disaster was released. Matt Damon sure was the smarter one when it came to choosing scripts!!!!

I think Ben should go back to where his career started, writing movies. Maybe he could even write a good part for himself like he did with Goodwill Hunting.

Hell yeah he was!

Ben should go back to Kevin Smith movies, he's great in those

Yeah, Ben still makes movies (and I've enjoyed them) but they are indie or under-perform at the box office.

I've enjoyed him in Hollywoodland, Smokin Aces, and the recent Russel Crowe flop State of Play which I thought was alright.

Yep he was.

The last thing he did was a 5 second cameo in Clerks II.
