Trivia:
If you look closely at Colin Farrell in his opening scene in the pub, you'll see that his neck and the top of his chest are peeling. This is not a skin condition that is characteristic of Bullseye, rather it is Colin Farrell's sunburn. He had just returned from a holiday in Mexico on a boat. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Elektra is standing in the rain at her father's funeral and opening her umbrella, she was already getting wet by the rain before she opened it. As she is entering the limo the next shot follows. While sitting in the limo, she is completely dry. moreQuotes:
[from the Director's Cut]Dante Jackson: Who are you?
Matt Murdock: We're you attorneys if you're innocent
Matt Murdock: So are you innocent?
Dante Jackson: Yeah.
Dante Jackson: [Matt Murdock uses his senses to listen to Dante's heart beating] Hell, yeah.
Matt Murdock: I believe you.
Dante Jackson: You do?
Matt Murdock: You got yourself a defence.
Dante Jackson: Thank You. Thank You Sir.

As the release date of Daredevil approached, I became more and more skeptical of Ben Affleck's ability to actually pull-off a super-hero movie. After seeing it last night though, I no longer doubt this ability, nor do I doubt anybody else's abilities in the all-star cast.
The fighting scenes were excellently done. The presentation of Daredevil's superhuman senses was even better than I imagined. Jennifer Garner is one of the hottest actresses who can kick anyone's ass. Michael Clarke Duncan's gave a great performance as the Kingpin. Collin Farrell is one of my new favorite villain's in Bullseye. Everything about this movie is just as dark as it is truly beautiful.
There were two major elements about the movie that made me give it a score of 8 instead of 10 though. First, when Daredevil kills that rapist in the subway, the problem is that in the comic books, Daredevil has never maintained a "criminals must die" mentality. He has actually gotten into fights with other superheroes over this belief, so when this happened in the movie, I was a little miffed. Somebody has brought it to my attention that Daredevil actually killed his first criminal on his first outing in his hero persona, but my only response to that would be the fact that the incident in the subway station was presented as not being Daredevil's "first time".
Second, the god-awful soundtrack is touted around scene after scene in the movie. The main problems with this is that: a.) The music really, REALLY sucks; and b.) The music dates the movie. Watching the movie 10 years from now when our culture's preferences in music have changed will make us more critical of this movie in the long run. Nobody is going to remember these songs or the people who sang them in ten years, and I wish that they were not there to begin with.
Other than that, I can't understand why there are so many people who didn't like this movie. If you liked Spider-man, you'll like this movie even better because, simply put, Daredevil is a better movie. The plot is well-written, the characters are as likeable as they are believable, and the special-effects/fight scenes are top-notch. It really is great that the Marvel superheroes are getting treated so well in the film industry.
