Daredevil (Widescreen Edition) Reviews
Much better than the theatrical release!
I am a huge fan of Daredevil Comics and was so disappointed when I saw the theatrical release of Daredevil the movie. I understand that the producers were trying to market it for a broader audience but I disagree with their "fast pace/all action" product. The movie was LAME! It wasn't even entertaining for its badness, like "Batman Forever" or "Batman and Robin" were. The movie was so abysmal that I felt like stabbing myself in the eyes. The producers forgot that appealing to a broader audience should not mean loosing the story and strong character development.
However, despite this fact, when I saw that there was a re-release of the film in a director's cut I thought I would give it a try. To my great shock, the movie is 110% better! A much stronger story (if you could even say the original release had a story), and a lot more nods to the Frank Miller comics that made me a Daredevil fan in the first place. I like Daredevil the film now. I do hope that someday Chris Nolan and the folks responsible for "Batman Begins" will look to do a Daredevil movie the way it ought to be, until then this director's cut is pretty decent. Yes, you must still get over the bad casting (and acting might I add) of Ben Affleck, Colin Farrell, Coolio (why does Coolio need to be in this film--who the hell thought that was a good idea? Fire him immediately!) and Michael Clarke Duncan (and why was he cast as the Kingpin??? And why doesn't Ben Urich work for the Daily Bugle in the film for that matter?) but despite these issues the movie is far better in this director's cut than the theatrical release.
Caesar says thumbs up!
"Daredevil" not too daring
Wow. Cheesy fight scenes; two Evanescence songs; unfulfilling ending... At least the lighting is cool. The best thing about it, I think.
The ending itself is predictable, which... I mean, predictable endings can be fine; not every movie needs to do bizzare things in order to be a good movie. This movie was very just okay to me, though.
Don't watch "Daredevil" anticipating it to be as good of an adaption as "Spider-Man."
