Alright, I saw this when it first came out and I thought it sucked.
Then I watched it a few days ago, and didn't think it was that bad.
Question is: What the hell is wrong with me?
Am I just developing a soft spot for bad comic book movies? (see my Steel: The Movie thread) Or is there anyone else who thought THIS movie wasn't AS bad as it is now historically known for being.
I heard the Director's Cut actually makes it a decent movie, and I've always been of the opinion that Ben Affleck would be a great Daredevil if the writing in the movie hadn't been so bad.
I dont think it was bad at all. Actually, I liked it. I liked it alot better than Hulk.
I did hear that the Directors Cut is much better bacause the main storyline was cut out(Coolios innocence) and Kingpin had more of a character development(not much). Also the Elektra love thing was shortened.
The director of the movie was bitching cause he had to cut out about 45 min for the movie to be released. The directors Cut plays the whole thing. I plan on getting it sometime this week.
for some reason i didn't find this movie too bad myself....I actually liked it.....of course it was one of the few new wave comic book movies to come out...having to have settled for movies like batman and robin, and the gulp old fantastic four previously...I guess this was just a blessing more than anything...ben affleck wasn't even that bad....I think it's hilarious that him and matt damon are getting more and more badass roles to play though...

Hey, if you all liked the original version, I would definitely suggest the Director's Cut (that is the version I saw). I disliked the original and enjoyed this one, so you guys might love it.
I thought the movie had it's moments, but was nothing spectacular, I have heard good things about the Director's Cut, and would like to pick it up sometime. I just didn't like how the movie looked. It was dark and grainy, like they had used bad quality film. Now, I can understand wanting a darker mood for Hell's Kitchen and whatnot, but there's a different between moods and themes, and just plain bad quality. The cinematography is b-movie level at times.
If you want to have sex with Jennifer Garner, then I highly recommend seeing Daredevil.
A director's cut DVD means that the theatrical release sucked. Other notable director cut DVD's include Highlander II and King Arthur, both of them sucked major ass.
