I agree. Ben and Matt are dramatically ******ed. Although Damon can sometimes play a good a-hole in something like Departed or even Interstellar. Small doses. It just doesn't happen often.
With Affleck, he's good as the goofy a-hole in comedies. I can never take him seriously in anything else. Even Gone Girl, his performance only worked when he was acting like a goofy idiot. He has no subtlety as an actor, his facial expressions are always flat and sounds like he's self aware and trying too hard to remember lines. He's never been a comfortable screen presence for me. It's like he's "acting" and not just LIVING the character. I've never felt emotionally invested in anything he's done because he's not believable. He doesn't have gravitas plain and simple.
There's a scene in Justice League, on the plane with Alfred where he asks about "Diana". It is one of the worst deliveries. Check it out next time you watch JL. It's in the first act.
