Alicia I love this movie so much
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Smoreni Zmaj When I saw this movie I was confused about such a lousy rating, and then I realized it is for the theatrical version, while I saw directors cut. It seems they once again have slaughtered a good movie into Hollywood sleazy, but I really have no intention to check. Anyway, the movie is much better than 2015 TV series in every way except for casting. I do not claim actors in series to be better actors overall, but they are just more adequate for Daredevil roles. Affleck as Daredevil is a complete disaster, hand in hand with Ellen Pompeo in the almost non-existing role of Karen Page. The rest of them are good, but not nearly as impressive as actors in the TV show, especially Fisk and Foggy. The only exception is Jennifer Garner who is perfect Electra. If they could make a remake with exactly the same screenplay and directing, but using TV series casting I think it would be perfect 10.8/10
generationofswine The problem here is that it wasn't exactly dark enough and Daredevil wasn't exactly street enough.But that is without seeing the director's cut.The fact is, they tried for the darkness that people would expect from Daredevil, but still attempted to make it relatively child friendly. It made for an epic fail that only came half-way to what it needed to be.And then there is the street aspect of Daredevil. He isn't the Avengers, he takes on problems in Hell's Kitchen, he operates close to the community and you sort of only got a taste of it.They tried to show that street-wise hero, but ended up making things still a little larger than life. A little too much in that regard. The Kingpin, and Duncan was perfect for the role, seemed like a villain a little too big for Daredevil, a little too removed from the mafia thug that he actually is.As a result, the movie sort of fails, but only just. A little push further in the right direction would have taken it from a failure to a success.It can still be enjoyed, for what it is, but feels hallow.
jokerswild1 This is probably slightly better than its reputation, but not great by any means. Affleck's good in the title role, but Jennifer Garner doesn't really keep up with him, and her delivery of that one "Liar!" line when Daredevil tells her he didn't kill her father is just laughably awful. The villains are good though, Colin Farrell especially hits it right with his over the top portrayal of Bullseye. The soundtrack isn't very good either, although that Evanescense song is kind of a guilty pleasure, bombastic as it is. The director's cut is supposedly far superior, but really the only differences are some profanity and a subplot where Murdock defends Coolio, nothing that special really.
jo-hanna Re. Spoilers: A couple of very minor ones, but on the whole, I think I've avoided them.. I've been avoiding this, since I LOVE the series, and saw the poor rating of this. I also thought Ben Affleck is too 'pretty' for this role (and read that he wasn't the best Batman..).. However, I tried to bury my preconceived ideas, and therefore enjoyed it: I'm pleased I watched it, since I can't watch the first two series of DD AGAIN just yet! :o Overall I thought it was rather 'shallow', but then again, it must be hard to squeeze such a lot of plot/characters into a couple of hours of film. I prefer every character/actor in the series, but still, I did like this. Farrell was amusing, but Duncan is just a gentle giant in my mind ('John Coffey'): the size of him fits, but I kept expecting him to say something sweet or funny.. What I liked most of all, which I missed in the series, is getting a bit of 'visual' (yeah I know..) on how Matt 'sees'. You're left to imagine it for yourself in the series. I was very disappointed in the 'mustard' scene.. till he swapped them! lol. When watching something like this I try to be open-minded. Each 'medium' is different, and if you compare them, you're often disappointed. Of course, it is often nigh-on impossible NOT to compare them, but I find it helps to try ;) P.S: I've never read comics, and had barely even heard of Daredevil before I watched the series (this film is probably why I'd even heard of it at all..)
