I liked it too.

And so did a few other people I know.

I thought it was alright, I think Jennifer Garner is a great actress and I love her in Alias but I never understood how they could make a movie essentially viewable for all around a character who was supposed to be a prostitute and an assasin, I felt they sort of lost sight of who the character was suposed to be. Still an entertaining enough movie though but not one of my favourite comic book movies

I thought it was pretty good. The only problem was the powers that just sort of came or went depending on whether she was supposed to win or lose at the time.

I liked it, but I thought it could have been better. It looked and felt more like a really good tv movie instead of a really good cinema film. I thought the bad guys were cool though.

Funny, Rob Bowman did a lot of TV before that...

Conjure I might pick up the director's cut, I read that was better edited.

That probably explains it. I thought the effects were cool though, especially the forest fight scenes. Nciely done.

I also thought Daredevil was pretty good too, surpisingly so considering it contained an Affleck and a Ferrell, and not the funny Ferrell.

THAT was a case where the Director's cut made a really BIG difference; I count that in my top eleven superhero movies

Was the director's cut really that much different? I haven't seen it, but my wife and I enjoy the regular one quite a bit.

Just the addition of a very interesting 30 minute sub plot and lots of pesky dialogue (including some good stuff with Matt's father) that the studio wanted cut out, plus: in the director's cut DD never sleeps with Elektra, which makes more sense IMO.
But the theatrical cut moves much faster...
