Fangirl...did you just speak positively about the Daredevil Director's Cut? Yuck, the Coolio subplot? Yuck

I would agree with you, Fangirl. I feel bad for picking on Daredevil like that, but it was an obvious choice. So many people initially didn't like the adaption. You are right in the sense that it was geared toward adults, but my question to you is, "Why didn't it do better, then?" Most fanboys are adults. They could have gone to see it. The answer lies within two words: Ben Affleck. He just wasn't appealing as DD. Just as wifey Jennifer Garner wasn't appealing as Elektra in her own flick.

Excuse me! Daredevil, the Director's Cut of course, was a perfectly fine movie adaptation. In fact, it was one of the better ones because it was geared more for adults than the kiddies! I think most people who criticize it, haven't gotten off their asses and rented the DC version and they should be ashamed to call themselves critics if they haven't, ahem! Also, the only damn reason DD2 isn't being done by Marvel at this time is because they can't sell it out to the kiddies who will buy anything Spiderman or Superman related, no matter how stupid! My nephew, who is 5, has underwear, towels, sheets, DVDs, Video Games, paper plates, and every other obnoxious thing you can think of with Spidey on it! Marvel is pissed that DD is geared to the adults me thinks because they can't make millions off a load of crap by selling out the image!

Neil darlin', you need to get laid. Good article though. And I admit I am really looking forward to Strangers With Candy. Took them long enough.
