And the whining continues...

Looked like a kick-ass action flick to me. Cool stunts, cool fights, that's all I need to see

he did change movies tho..

GiantRobo was thinking Shawshank Redemption, but seeing Michael Clarke Duncan may have temporarily scrambled his brain into thinking Green Mile.

I liked it.

dammit I want to see the movie already. I think bullseye is going to be the funniest character in the whole movie, he's gonna be stealing scenes left and right.

It's not whining... it's an opinion that people are entitled to have. People that disagree with you and are pessimistic about this movie aren't whining, just as people that agree with you and look forward to this movie are brainless fanboys.

Whining: To complain or protest in a childish fashion

I think a lot of the complaints and protests are childish. So I am using the term correctly.

I think you are whining about the "whiners".

OOPS

My bad. You're right devilshalo I was thinking SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION


you know THEY all look alike...


..I'm talking about Stephen King movies

Wow, a Mod. calling Fanboys brainless....that's sounds kinda rude.

Black croc skin trenchcoats are redneck attire now?

BTW, Daredevil is no Spidey, but he's not as obscure as The Crow was either.

Don't you mean Frank Darabont movies

...nevermind.

wow this looks stupid....


on that note.. it sure looks like fun..

As long as it's more entertaining than the snoozefest Spider-man was, I'll be happy.

Red is pretty commong nickname for African-Americans with a reddish tint to their hair. It was Malcolm X's nickname.

At least the villians in this one look interesting.

Agreed completely.

Just saw it.

The good:
-Duncan as Kingpin; he has the character down.
-The stunts.
-Joe Pantoliano, great in just about anything!

The bad:
-Just about everything else.

Why do they need a stupid song? Need to sell some soundtracks?.......



That said. is that song (the one played at the end of the preview) readily available to purhcase?

"how do you kill a man without fear?"

(bullets? electricity? poison? ice-pick? car bomb?)

NO!

"you put the fear in him"

D'oh! of course...(slaps his forehead)

Watch the movie again and you will see that when asked why they call him Red, he states in a straight face because he IS Irish. So they only changed Red's complexion from the short story not his nationality.

The song at the end of the trailer (which I think just rocks) is "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence. It's on the Daredevil soundtrack....and if you refuse to give into such things, there's always Kazaa.

I remember buying all those Frank Miller issues of Daredevil for $1 each back in the early 80's. I can honestly say by looking at from what I've seen of the trailer so far ( remember only a first impression) that they've gotten alot of things "right" with this film. There's a whole feel to Daredevil ( for example as where Spider-Man's movements are crouched and springy, DD's are long and fluid). One of the things I don't like is Bullseye. He just comes across as a cast off from the Village People. They could have really used a little more work on his design. I do wish they could have kept the original Elektra costume (oh man would I have loved to have seen Jennifer Garner in that outfit).

Now I just hope they got the story right.

Doubt they did that. Murdock and Elektra met in college, not as adults. Furthermore, Elektra is greek, not American like Jennifer Garner. Finally, she is a cold-blooded killer, and I have a feeling the film will water her down quite a bit.

I really don't expect every little detail to go unaltered. Probably if they showed them meeting in college it would have slowed the pace of the film down too much.

Much like Spider-Man I'd expect a few changes along the way. Remember the changes to Spider-Man?;

-Uncle Ben died in an attempted car jacking ( in the comic he was killed when the robber from the arena broke into his house).

-Spidey had "organic" web shooter that came from under his skin. In the comic he built his own web shooters.

-The spider that bit Peter in the movie was "genetically altered". In the comic it was radioactive.

-Mary Jane was the "girl next door" living with a mentally abusive father. In the comic she really lived down the block with her aunt Anna Watson.

-In the comic the Green Goblin throws Peter Parker's first girl friend Gwen Stacey off the 59th St. bridge. Not Mary Jane.

All these were pretty forgivable because they got the nuts and bolts of Spider-Man right. Same with some of the changes they made to X-Men. So it's probably a case of seeing what works and what doesn't. No comic or book for that matter makes it to the screen 100% in tact. Just think of what Fellowship of the Ring would have been like if Peter Jackson decided to include those two chapters with Tom Bombadil.

Captain: You are right, and I hope with everything Daredevil is decent. Changes to story are forgiveable as long as they stay true to spirit and characters. Like I said, Elektra is the only one where I see them taking liberties and not showing her perform her assasination duties to secure a PG-13 rating.
