I recently saw DareDevil. I must say it is possibly the best comic book flick I have ever seen. I have read many negative reviews about the movie, to which I can only respond by calling them fucking idiots. These ignorant people apparently have no idea what it takes to make a film, nor do they comprehend that it's a movie based on a comic book. People on IMDB.com have been whining about how fantastical it was and it was not realistic enough. Dur hur. The movie is titled DAREDEVIL.
I guess what I am really posting for is just to say that Affleck and all those involved did an amazing job, including Kevin in his cameo role. I couldn't help but laugh as he tried to surprise Urich with his 'find.' Kevin frequents the board, so I have read, and I just wanted to show some support for Affleck and by saying he did a more accurate portrayal of DareDevil and Murdock than Keaton did Batman or Bruce Wayne in Burton's... I can't even come up with a word for whatever Batman was.
Affleck proved a comic book movie can be more than guys in tight leather or spandex.
