I wish they had chosen someone other than Ben Affleck. I despise Ben Affleck. I think he's wildly untalented and the only reason he is in Hollywood is because he rode the coattails of his pal Matt Damon.

There is a very positive review of the movie at aintitcoolnews.com by Moriarty

There is also a review by a Ben Affleck hater who says this is Affleck's best performance ever. He also enjoyed the whole movie.

Ketchup - Be sure to check out TV Guide (Feb 8-14). The cover story is all about Daredevil.

I heard this movie is abysmal. Not really surprised.

Actually, Ebert (whom I agree with more often then not) liked it quite a bit for the type of movie it is:

Daredevil Review from the Chicago Sun Times.

<<<<The movie is, in short, your money's worth, better than we expect, more fun than we deserve.<<<

Better be half-decent (just half, that's all I need) because hubby is taking off early so we can take the girls to a matinee (I refuse to see movies in crowded theatres which means I see 90% only on video or DH takes off work so we can see matinees. LOL). Then we are picking up Chinese and playing board games all night. That's my idea of an awesome Valentines. :)

The movie was ok. Not bad. Not great.

I though it was quite predictable myself.
I was bother my friend who went with me, by predicting points and moments in it.

I'm just happy I paid the lesser matinee cost and not the full price or I'd have been pissed.

Good special effects though and some good action scenes...

But the plot was bad...well, it wasn't that it was bad, just predictable.

And Colin Ferell(sp?) (Bullseye) was freaky.
LOL

I saw the movie lastnight, and it was a fun flick to watch, very much comic-bookish, and I think it was done that way intentionally. I thought Ben Affleck was great, and was a bit disappointed about one particular event that I don't want to say because it would spoil it for others who haven't seen it yet.

Heads Up!!!
If you do go see the movie, don't leave right away. In the middle of the credits, it stops and we are suddenly watching a scene of a person strapped into a hospital bed, and the person is being bugged by a fly buzzing around their head.... I won't say anymore as I don't want to spoil that part either. Just don't leave the show right away so you can see it!!!! When the scene came up on the screen, most of the patrons had already left... there was only a handful left to see it. We all laughed at the expense of all the others who had left and missed out on seeing it.

I liked this movie, but it wasn't great, just quite good. It had a lot of action but I somehow felt there should have been more in it. The plot was very comic book but I enjoyed it.

Missed the scene in the credits :(.

Ok Jbean, I sent you an email with the spoiler.

If anyone else wants to know what happened, I can make a spoiler thread for this movie to let you all know.

OK I just saw this movie on the airplane. Surprisingly I didn't hate it all that much, but I'm glad I didn't pay money to see it. Ben Affleck... meh. Adequate I suppose. I couldn't look at Jennifer Garner without seeing Sydney Bristow. Liked Colin Farrell's performance, thought Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin was boring and superfluous.

I thought it was merely OK, not sure if there is going to be a sequel. How did it do in final totals at the box office?

OK now I have a question about the scene in the credits. Since it doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of discussion about this movie, I suppose I will just ask it here and alert people with a big old

****** SPOILER ALERT ************

I was dozing off near the end and just caught the tail end of that scene in the credits. Looked like a guy heavily bandaged up in a hospital bed, he took a knife and threw it and pinned a fly to the wall. So looks like Bullseye is alive!

Sage and Jbean, are you talking about the "death" of Elektra as being the disappointing part? Isn't she still alive? I thought that's why there was that necklace charm hung on a tree, with Braille on it. I think in the comic books she "died" but then was revealed alive some time later.

Yes, Crazydog, that was the disappointing part to me. Gads, since it was way back in Feb. that I saw the movie, I don't recall the necklace charm hung on a tree. I've never read the comic books, so I have no idea of any of the characters. If there was a sequal, which I have a feeling there might be, then perhaps Elektra will be back from the "dead". I just hate unhappy endings where a lover or mate dies.

Actually, I remember talk of spinning off Elektra into her own movie series. I think I'd pay to see Jennifer Garner as Elektra again. Not so sure I'd go see a sequel. The whole "I protect the innocent and seek vengeance for my murdered father" schtick grew a little old. A "Daredevil 2" seems to me it'd be more of the same.

I've never really read the Daredevil comics so I don't know if there are any more memorable villains besides Kingpin and Bullseye. I think there was one called Typhoid Mary.

I think the comic book character Daredevil was supposed to be Marvel's answer to DC's Batman. And much the same, I felt the copycatting extended to the movie. The whole movie had that same dark overtone as the first Batman movie. I thought it was just a pale imitation.
