Ben Affleck's Kids Criticize Armageddon During Recent Interview

Ben Affleck recently revealed that his kids are his toughest critics, often giving blunt feedback on his films while watching them together. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he tried to share his 1998 sci-fi disaster movie Armageddon with his children, but they quickly dismissed it as 'stupid' and illogical, echoing longstanding criticism of the film's implausible plot. Affleck humorously responded that logic was not a key consideration in making the film. In contrast, his children were pleasantly surprised and genuinely enjoyed his latest movie, The Accountant 2, which left Affleck both relieved and amused by their rare approval. He noted on Jimmy Kimmel Live that their positive reaction felt almost accidental, given their usual candor. Affleck’s experience highlights both the enduring scrutiny of Armageddon and his family's supportive reaction to his more recent work.
