Lycaon Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I know its nitpicking, but they technically didn't, if you read the series run notes. ABC did, then Disney bought it and ran it a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Speaking of evil corporations/FOX. It turns out that Fox are rebooting both Fantastic Four and Daredevil. It's not because they have a great idea or anything, it's just if they don't keep making movies then they lose the rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 you know, the full version - jax was right, that was better. my problem was i read Miller's "Born Again" the day of said movie, so i was doomed to have it fall short. it wasnt bad man, it just coulda been better....i stand by the idea that a DD movie/series could be done at a fraction of the cost and with what bendis/miller/bru etc have done, it could fucking outshine spider-man in terms of quality that transfers to cinema. that wasnt it, though.

Iambaytor Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Daredevil had a good director with a misplaced vision and not enough power to tell the studio no. I maintain that Colin Farrel's Bullseye was spot-on to what Bullseye is, even the stupid ass forehead brand kinda fits. And Michael Clark Duncan managed to transcend not being the right race for the character and played a damn good Kingpin. John Favreau was a great Foggy Nelson. And Ben Affleck almost did it, he wasn't terrible, he just wasn't very good. Really Elektra was the weakest link in the chain along with the story and some of the fight scenes.

Signal08 Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Baytor is right, Elektra was made just for an excuse to put Jennifer Gardner in her own flick. Other than the eye candy, Elektra wasn't a great movie. and yes, Disney owns ABC, and ESPN falls under that umbrella. Pretty sure Disney owns half of congress too, the house half... no wait... senate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I used to have the regular edition but I pitched it when I got the Director's Cut. There really was a lot of that movie that worked well, it's just a shame that the execution was poor (I was fucking excited about that post-credits bit dammit!)

DD is pretty much Man Without Fear on screen. It's the only time you'll ever see me enthusiastic about JR jr's supposed art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 yeah, you're absolutely right; good call. but even then, it was hard to move past shit like DD'S GON LET YOU GET RUNNED OVER BY SUBWAYS etc. there were various dealbreakers for me (i agree that Matt and Foggy were great, Bullseye did his thing, i wanted to like Kingpin more than i did but again, the movie's big shortcomings cant be rested on any one of these men). Born Again and such are the awesome sequel material, but this wasnt the strong foundation such a tale needed - it was well-intending and overcrowded and sloppy. not awful by any means, just falls square under my "this couldbe been so much more for so much less" branch of comic films (see: punisher). but yeah, relevant to the topic, the prospect of a clean slate/reboot excites me here, prolly moreso cause i havent yet seen any concrete details to point me otherwise. in my world, you'd come home from work and watch DD: the HBO series and Tivo Gotham Central on FX.

Newtype Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Never saw the DD movie and I'll never will. Disney buying marvel wasn't a Joke? I clearly have been living under a rock the pass few weeks. So the question I have if nobody has asked yet is what does this mean for Marvel's Islands of adventure?

Lycaon Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Never saw the DD movie and I'll never will. I did. Wasn't very impressed. Then again, I saw the theatrical release. So the question I have if nobody has asked yet is what does this mean for Marvel's Islands of adventure? Tour guides dressed as Disney characters?

alive she cried Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 you know, the full version - jax was right, that was better. my problem was i read Miller's "Born Again" the day of said movie, so.... I've heard this a few times but find it hard to believe, how exactly can the directors cut improve the acting in the film? DD, and Kingpin were terrible, and let's not even mention Elektra. Bullseye was spot on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 i ddint believe it either - just rent or download it. it doesnt erase the bad bits, it puts more decent stuff around them so they seem lesser? but yeah, i know it sounds weird. so, so hyped for a relaunch. please get it right this time.
