Rotten Tomatoes Reveals the True Ups and Downs of Ben Affleck's Career

screenrant.com:

Ben Affleck is one of the most active actors working today, and the Rotten Tomatoes scores for the movies he's appeared in showcase the many ups and downs of his career. His movies have run the entire spectrum of the entire Tomatometer, earning him 39 different scores from 50 movies, landing at least one score in every set of ten from 0-100, but his ability to consistently appear in at least one critically praised movie every few years (and his multiple Oscars) keep his name from being too tainted by his critical reception.

Ben Affleck originally broke onto the scene in the early 1990s, appearing in a string of well-reviewed movies before winning his first Oscar for Best Screenplay, shared with Matt Damon, for Good Will Hunting. He then appeared in a slew of movies across many genres, seeing a string of negative reviews as he also became a popular target for paparazzi and Hollywood gossip. He eventually pivoted to directing, where his films were met with critical praise, earning an Oscar for Best Picture on his third directorial effort, Argo. Since then, he's seen more ups and downs but also put out some of the best acting work of his career, appearing in fewer films and being more selective about the projects he joins.

Taking a look at how each of his films was ranked over time gives some interesting insight into the career of one of Hollywood's most popular, sometimes polarizing figures.
