I must be the only person on the planet that thought Daredevil was kickass?
It kicked Superman's ass that's for sure, at least I didn't fall asleep in it!

I thought it was good, too. So you're not alone. I've watched it several times, and I don't see what the problem was, and I consider myself an amatuer critic. Although I don't think it was better than "Superman Returns," it was good in its own right. I've wasted money on a hell of lot worse.

For one, the fight scene between Daredevil and Bullseye in the church, where they're both jumping around like gymnists, that was goofy and lame. Also the first encounter between Matt and Elektra, when they're sparring in front of the group of kids on the playground, yeah, that was dumb too. And the fact that they fall in love and have sex within a couple of days (days was it? haven't seen it for a while). And Joe Pantoliano's character, the stereotypical "won't take no for an answer" detective who gets in too deep. And the scenes where Matt was a kid, the "training sequences" and the scenes with him and the bullies, all were pretty lackluster.
That's not to say there weren't things done right in the movie. I actually think there were more good things than bad things. I thought the film was perfectly cast (from Affleck as Daredevil/Matt to M.C. Duncan as the Kingpin to Foggy Nelson, Karen Page, and even Colin Farrell was great as Bullseye). They all fit perfectly (though of course Kingpin was white, but they made a great argument in that the movie took place in New York, and there weren't any black characters? RIGHT). The enemies were great and the plot was generally good too.
There were both a lot of things RIGHT AND WRONG with Daredevil. Hopefully, for the second, they'll be able to cut all the really lame stuff out (they already got the origin out of the way, for one) and we'll have a good flick.

Hey russian, you make some good points. But you damage your credibility when you say the film was perfectly cast. First off, the titler character was disgraced by Ben Affleck (and that's coming from an Affleck fain!!). And Elektra was another major misfire only made worse by the film that followed DD. We all love Daredevil, but let us love him enough to agree that the "film" did him zero justice.
