"I want a bloody costume."

Daredevil can be summed up in 6 words. It could have used another hour. Don't get me wrong, that is NOT a negative, there was a LOT of shtuff in it! It was just packed into a neat little hour and 44 minute package so it didn't have time to really develop much. But a ton of development really wasn't necessary anywhere in the movie except for in the DD/Elektra love story, which is really the only suffering point of the film. I just haven't bought the whole "guy meets girl has sex the next night" thing since I started dating back in high school, but that's a minor complaint. I mean, when you get right down to it, Daredevil TOTALLY ROCKED! w00t! I mean, I just went over the only real negative parts, so I guess that means we're on to . . .

The Good

Ben Affleck
This is the FIRST TIME since Dogma that AFLACK! has not played Ben Affleck. I'm proud of the boy. . . I actually forgot he was AFLACK! during the movie!

Jennifer Garner
She was really great in this part, only problem was . . . NEST...Not Enough Screen Time! But she really shined as Electra! Sure she doesn't look straight greek, but they kept her Greek heritage... and well...if Wilson Fisk can work as Michael Clarke Duncan, well then...ya know :-D

Michael Clarke Duncan
The only person in existence anywhere NEAR built for this part. As always, he is a pleasure to watch on screen. Especially during the final scene!

Colin Farrell
This boy is GOIN places! Bullseye is done wonderfully over the top by Farrell and is easily my favorite character leaving the film.

Jon Favreau
NAILED Foggy. Not much else I can say here, just nailed him!

This movie did everything much the opposite of Spider-Man. I mean, when Spider-Man has to choose between helping people and the girl . . . he goes for helping people. Matt Murdock very much keeps his personal life in order on top of being a vigilante. DD was a very human character in this film, and that is helped out very much by it's tone and direction. This movie had very much the tone of Batman the cockiness of The Crow and the fighting sense of X-Men. No one really pulled their punches in this movie, and that's a nice change. Bullseye came off as completely deadly. I really believed that he could and would kill anyone he came across.
I really can't go into much more without giving it away so I'll just leave it at GO SEE IT!

Speaker speaks for this movies w00tness, it totally r0xx0rs if you know what I mean!
