Kevin Smith's part was in my opinion the best part in the whole movie who played Jack Kriby, a morgue assistant or something like that.
-----Are you just saying that because of the warm fuzzy feeling it gave us when we saw his face? Or do you truly think that's the best scene in the whole entire movie?
Anyway, other than Bullseye and Kingpin and Foggy and Ben Urich, the casting really, really, really sucked.
-----You just rattled off 80% of the cast. "Other than Bullseye and Kingpin and Foggy and Ben Urich..." Is that all? Sure you don't want to add a few more?
Bullseye was really funny and so was Foggy Nelson.
------No argument's there. I liked the word play between him and Matt Murdock.
Elektra was annoying and not even close to being as cool as she is in the comic.
------When was the last time she was in an issue of Daredevil for more than 2 pages at all?
Ben Urich....barely showed up.
------True, but you gotta admit the shit that he was bodacious.
And, in my opinion, they should have picked Edward Norton to play Daredevil because Ben Affleck was really playing "the man with no facial expression".
-------That's an interesting choice for him. I thought Ben Affleck was a fine Daredevil and an even better Matt Murdock. (alright, mabey he played the part a bit too coy at certian points, but the dramatic Murdock stuff more than made up for that. As dor this "man with no facial expression" stuff. Wasn't he in a mask for half the movie?
------It sounds like ass-kissing, but I think this is my new favorite super-hero movie. Even the non DD shit was good. It could have been just about a blind lawyer from Hell's Kitchen and it still would have been good. I loved the way they showed his radar and shit. And that rooftop rain scene was cool, the way he could see in the rain. And I don't think I've applauded harder when Matt Murdock hears a damsel in distress on the roof with Elekrtra but does you-know-what (don't wnt to spoil it).
When Spider-Man came out, I remember thinkin "Great, this is going to be the shit that comes out for the next 5 years as far as comic flicks" (a statement I apperently stand alone on because it made a bagillion dollars)
Anyway, this shit proved me wrong.
