Yeah for sure. I don't know if Ben will be good or bad, but one thin for certain is I will see this movie. As will the bulk of the people who have a predetermined view of how it will be, good or bad. They couldn't possibly be beaten in an argument about it because they haven't seen it. They will see and find ways to tear it apart (as has been done with MOS and every other comic movie). My bet? The movie is pretty good, Affleck is fine. But it's not The Dark Knight, so it will be maligned by "true" Batman/Superman fans, because apparently they know something we don't.
I view all these comic movies as extensions/interpretations of the comics no different than someone writing a new graphic novel. I don't expect them to follow any of the source material really, and in fact I like when they come up with their own stories rather than piecing together things from the past. Obviously the origins and characters are the same, but I like to see the changes people make, even making up your own characters is fine. Why not? Someone did at somepoint.
