  • Daredevil was okay. Spider-man was better overall, but DD had better fight scenes. Oh, and Colin Farrel is the true star of this movie.

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Once again, Ben Afflek was a shitty cast for a role. Also, it was predictable...and the villans were rather boring.

And that chick...yeah, yummy eye candy, but please... That stupid 'first-date' fight? Sai sandbag practice? Those were moments I wished for blindness....

Rental, sure...but nothing more. Imo at least.

Pretty damn good overall, better than Spiderman (though I didn't think nearly as highly of Spiderman as most, apparently). I was pleasently suprised and it played the comic pretty seriously, which was nice....</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Wrong, as usual :-) I thought Spiderman captured the atmosphere and point of the comics very, very well. If it turned out like Daredevil (all action, no real story or character development), I woulda hated it. You can tell that Raimi actually read the comics, unlike Synger</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Dafoe pulled off the goblin exactly as he should have been played. That's what I envisioned Osborne to be like when I read the comics. The suit looked like shit and it was idiotic that it and the machine were for military use, but otherwise, that WAS the goblin</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>He's a good actor, yes. But as Goblin/Spiderman goes, it's just so so. And how could you say I'm wrong about Spiderman not being up to par with Superman? You need to keep quiet about your bad movie taste. Superman tops it. Batman was even better.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I thought that Spiderman was excellent, as were the first Superman and first 2 Batmans. As much as I like the other Supermans, there were more mindless fun than good movies. But those 4 were the best comic book movies of all time for sure</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>An Irish dude with a brand on his forehead who has really good aim doesn't really strike me as fantastic...especially when there is no back story or motivation whatsoever in the movie.

Think about Magneto, Joker or even Green Goblin...fleshed out back story in all of those.

If Daredevil wanted to come to the superhero party late, it should've been prepared to make a much better entrance.

Imo.
