No, I think a lot of people just couldn't forgive Daredevil for Ben Affleck AND:

1. Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin (WTF?)
2. Colin Farrell's ridiculous take on Bullseye (overacting, anyone?)
3. The less-than-spectacular CGI
4. Ok, Ben Affleck

Elektra's character was the one saving grace from that film to me (and perhaps because I have a huge crush on Jennifer Garner) - and the previews to this film look like fun, but I'll admit, those first five minutes do look pretty sad...

The movie sucked, plain and simple... I own a lot of movies that Affleck is in, so I'm not one those "OMG!WTF!!? Affleck" haters.

I have no beef at all with Affleck, though I thought he was a horrible choice for DD. I just didn't like the film much at all.

UNTIL I saw the director's cut, which is actually pretty solid, bordering on good. Check it out if you haven't yet.

I don't think I'll watch this first 5 minutes...I'd rather see it in context.

I thought Daredevil was an ok movie. After I saw the director's cut, it moved up to very good in my opinion.

It looks pretty bad but i will watch it since i am a fan of daredevil (DC not the original) and of garner.

:thumbsup: to a cool new member.

It was a very good movie. And this preview wasn't as awful as people say. I've seen worse, and in comparison to the lust everyone has for Blade, it really isn't so bad at all. This will be a much better movie than Trinity, I think.

The only thing I didn't like about the Director's Cut of DD was that they took out the part of him having sex with JG. :(

That was one of the coolest scenes 'cuz it's never been done in a superhero movie before.

I'll go see Elektra on Friday.

I thought DD was mediocre. I thought Colin Farrell's character was more interesting and eccentric than over-acted. Ben wasn't too bad either but he just wasn't a perfect fit for the role like Tobey McGuire(sp?) is as Spider-Man.

As a Daredevil fan, I'll re-state what I've said in the past about DD the movie. I think it's as close a comic book adaption we have (until Sin City comes out). Even more so than Spider-man. I remember buying those first issues of DD that Miller did and MSJ did his best to faithfully adapt them. Again, other than Bullseye without his tights, go back to any of the issues from 175 - 182. Some of those panels are pretty close to what he put onscreen.

Affleck didn't make it horrible, but he didn't make it good either. And Farrel as Bullseye wasn't over the top at all. Bullseye was always a wise ass because he knows he's that damn good. Duncan as Kingpin, well, I understand why, but they ultimately made him a big wuss in the end. As for Garner as Elektra. Her story should have ended after her pops get's killed.

As for the new movie. I guess I'll take a look. I wished it followed the Elektra Saga that Miller did. It's not overly thrilling me and I'm not a fan of Garner. So far, the trailers make it look pretty lame.

1. I thought he was perfect for the role.
2. Most interesting and over-the-top character in the film. Made it enjoyable for me.

I want my five minutes back... :-( Anyone made out the chinese characters on her back? The one thing that bothered me in the Daredevil poster is that the chinese characters are reversed on her belt... Maybe they are correct in the movie but I couldn't bring myself to watch it.

I wouldn't say that. Punisher's probably the closest we have.

Anyway, the biggest problem I have with DD (like organic web-shooters, ugh) is the fact that he essentially kills that guy in the opening. That's not Daredevil, ever.

Electra can't be that bad if it has General Zod in it.

"Kneel before Zod!"

Definately made for profit rather then a good qaulity movie.
