Mar. 21st, 2003 10:52 pmDaredevil was decent, as far as comic book movies go. I have no idea how true it is to the comic, as I haven't read it. (Warning: There may or may not be spoilers embedded in the following paragraph. Read at your own discretion.) The only continuity error that bothered me significantly is that almost the entire movie is told as a flashback, prompted by Daredevil musing at the beginning that your entire life really does flash before your eyes, even if you're blind. This implies that he's dying. However, the wound he receives is apparently not that life-threatening, as he goes on to kick Bullseye's butt without breaking much of a sweat, and certainly not favoring that shoulder much if at all. Stupid plot holes. And I wanna know how they're going to bring Elektra back. Obviously she is coming back, but she dies, dang it! I liked Colin Farrell, even though he's the sadistic hired killer. He was entertaining. He kills an annoying old woman with an airline peanut; it doesn't get much more amusing than that. Unless, of course, you count his incredibly lost tone of voice when he says, "He made me miss." No, I'm not obsessing. Not at all. Just because my favorite bits had Bulleye in them...
I have a feeling I'm getting another look.
[ETA: I feel I have to justify this by saying that I didn't like the movie nearly as much the third time around. Or Colin Farrell.]
