>>Did anyone else who went to see this feel like the film was too short? Like very important things were missing from the all too brief running time that would have gelled things together? That's what happens when you take a tough, gritty comic book character like Daredevil and turn him into a PG- 13 family friendly film (which just happens to feature Jennifer Garner getting a sword shoved through her hand). Not only that but they clearly cut up the fight scenes! Shame on you Mark Steven Johnson! How dare you call yourself a Daredevil fan?!<<
You say Mark Steven Johnson isn't a Daredevil fan simply because the film was short? He had no choice in the matter. The film was originally much longer, but Kevin Smith warned him that if he didn't cut down the length, then Fox would do it for him. Johnson's hands were tied, it was a lose-lose situation.
As for the family friendly comment - are you fucking high? You think a film where the hero chews Vicoden like M&Ms, tosses rapists onto train tracks and assassins out of church windows is a family film? You think a film where the heroine gets stabbed in the hand with her own weapon is a family film? You think a film where an assassin kills an old lady because she's annoying him a family film?
If so, then you must come from a pretty fucked up family.
>>Jennifer Garner - beautiful to look at, they really didn't do justice to her character. Oh and uh, by the way, the love/luv/lust story given here is NOT the way it happened in the comic books, trust me (just like Mary Jane Watson wasn't the girl next door, as presented in the Spider-Man film)<<
You're nitpicking. Comics and film are two completely different mediums, and this is the most faithful adaptation of a comic to film. Changes had to be made. Since you mentioned Michael Keaton earlier, I take it you enjoyed Batman - and they took far more liberties with that film than they did with Daredevil (Burton himself has admitted that he's never read comic books).
>>And now we have to wait for some R-rated director's cut. This sucks.<<
Why? Honestly, are you that fucking impatient?
Fanboys are never happy unless they're whining. If someone gave you the Venus de Milo, you'd bitch that it has no arms.
