Daredevil (the Director's Cut) was so much better than Superman Returns it isn't even funny. Better paced, better fights, more compelling drama, oh, and look, Daredevil had an actual story, heh heh.

All I will say is that Daredevil was WAY BETTER than Elektra.......and Cat Woman. hee heee heee
I am not a Superman movie fan, but I thought the new one was alright. Never could sit through the Christopher Reeve movies. (May he rest in peace)

Quote:I can see that for some, the first one was slow, the second one was too goofy, and 3 and 4 were practically worthless, but you should give the newly released Richard Donner Cut of Superman 2 a try if it comes by you on cable this year; it moved fast, and kept the goofy to a bare minimum (They chopped out all the stupid schtick added by the replacement director, Richard Lester). It was miles above Superman Returns.

Daredevil was good. I like superhero stuff as long as its not french. Superman I think is an older generation thing for the baby boomers. I felt Supeman Returns was the best so far. Now Batman I like, man hero. Even with George Caloony Baloony. I watch discovery or history channel and Spiderman out sells all the other superheroes combined. I know every American boy under the age of 6 has spidy jammies. Everyone has their choice ya know.

I was really impressed with Daredevil, especially the "Sonar Vision".
Jennifer Garner was gorgeous, and Jon Favreau, Michael Clarke Duncan, Joe Pantoliano and even Kevin Smith were great in their roles.
I'm with Joss in that comedic actors work better in dramatic roles.
The special features on the DVD were great, too!
Jennifer Garner was adorable, and Ben Affleck had this really funny little quip about wearing the harness for the wire work, which went some'n like:
"You feel like you'll never be able to have children, but it's okay, because adoption is a route that I'm... okay with."
ROTFL!
I hear the Director's Cut is even better, so I'll have to scope that out!

Totally. Daredevil gets a bad rap.
Having said that, I preferred the theatrical release of DD. Actually I think I'd have preferred some halfway cut between the theatrical and DC.
And in Superman's defence, Returns wasn't an origin story so the direct comparison is a little trickier.

Quote:In the DC the extra bits between Matt and his dad are good, and the sub-plot fleshes Matt out more, too. Also the bed scene with DD and Elektra is gone, and I thought that made much more sense, they only shot it so Ben and Jennifer could go all kissy-kissy, as they were fallin' for eachother
