Critics are raving about Ben Affleck's Air as reviews give him a new career best Rotten Tomatoes score both as an actor and as a director.
Ben Affleck is back in the director's chair again with Air, and it's already the highest-scoring Affleck-directed movie on Rotten Tomatoes and one of his highest-scoring movies as an actor as well. Affleck has been acting for over 30 years with over 52 movies in his filmography, but he's only been directing movies since 2007, and Air is just his fifth credit as a director.
Prior to Air, Affleck's average Rotten Tomatoes score as a director was 79 percent, which is pretty impressive considering Live by Night's Rotten 34 percent score. Air elevates his new average to 83 percent. For perspective, Steven Spielberg has an 80 percent average Rotten Tomatoes score from 36 feature films and James Cameron has an 87 percent average from eight feature films.
Despite a number of big hits in the decades since the turn of the century, the 90s has always been Ben Affleck's best decade as far as his Rotten Tomatoes scores go. Affleck was in 12 movies from 1992-1999 with an average Rotten Tomatoes score of 62 percent, although the run included Dazed and Confused Chasing Amy , Good Will Hunting , and Shakespeare in Love .
