Umm. Daredevil is in the same league with movies like Wing Commander, Catwoman, Batman Forever/& Robin, Superman 3 and 4, Jaws:The Revenge and a whole host of others... namely, some of the worst things ever committed to celluloid in the past 80 years.MickeyMousePal wrote:I agree with DVDjunkie I know I haven't seen it but I will tonight or tomorrow. Many critics didn't like Daredevil and it was a great film but not excellent.
Honestly, I didn't really care for this movie at all... I dunno if it was the new director or what, but it just didn't do anything for me. They either killed or neutered every half-decent character the last 2 movies had.
Magneto is one of the better-acted and less clichéd movie villains to have been around in the past 15 or 20 years, and he's taken down by something as pathetic as that? At least Mystique went down for something she believed in, and with some kind of honour (however skewed).
Professor X was also a character who could've turned out stupid, but Patrick Stewart did a great job acting him. Dying trying to help Jean I can respect... but it's all pretty meaningless when she ends up dead, anyway, isn't it? I mean, did they need to use all four of those vials of serum on Magneto? Couldn't Wolverine have held onto one or two and used it on Jean instead of slicing her up? Geez. She might've been powerless, but at least she'd be alive (and sane)... and Xavier had already made it quite clear he cared about her quality of life more than her power.
To be honest, I couldn't have cared less Cyclops bought it. He's always been an incredibly dull character, even in the old cartoon he was a square.
And I couldn't figure out why Angel was in there at all... just for that obligatory happy-family-time bulls**t at the end, so we can see he doesn't hold a grudge against his bigot of a father? Who cares.
At first I was hoping the whole cure thing was some kind of prelude to Apocalypse, similar to the 90s cartoon where he set up that fake mutant cure centre to lure in people for his Horsemen. Also, Apocalypse would've been a good match for the Phoenix. But of course, we can't have that.
All in all, a very dissapointing movie in a formerly great franchise.
