DVD Reviews of Daredevil (Director's Cut)
DVD Review: Improvement over first version...
Summary: 4 Stars
This review is for the Director's Cut Blu-ray version of Daredevil which you may have read elsewhere is an improvement over the 103 minute theatrical cut. There is more background to Daredevil's character which really helps the story along, although the movie's script is far from ideal. The dts Master Audio really shines and the video is solid but not quite demo material. For around $15 with free Prime shipping it was too good of a bargain to pass up. DVD Review: Much better than the original
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the movie that should have been released in theaters. It was much, much, much better than the original version. DVD Review: good movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked the movie so I got in blu ray I have a sony bravia 1080p and at times in movie it looks a little like it goes to 480i,but all in all still excellent movie especially to see jennifer garner in hd.DVD Review: Middle of the pack Marvel movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Ok this movie is not as good as SpiderMan 1 or X1 or X2...however its as good as SpiderMan 2 (at least it doesn't have some cheesy horrible dance scene in the middle of the movie) and better than X3, SpiderMan 3 and Ghost Rider by far!
I think this movie is more in line with Frank Miller's take on the character (which obviously a lot of reviewers either never read or don't remember) thats why its so dark and may remind some people of Batman (another character Miller took on).
The BluRay transfer is a good one and I like the Directors Cut (though I also did like the original version as well). My only complaint is that we don't get to see Elektra in action that much. I think they really didn't do as much with her character as they should have which is why for some, her death didn't do much for them. I have always loved the character so of course I still felt bad because I didn't want to see her die after doing so little in the movie.
This is an enjoyable comic adaption, not the best, but not the worse either.
DVD Review: It's True: The 'Director's Cut Is Much Better
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, this was a more complete version of the DVD which came out earlier. In this edition, about a half-hour of new material was added to the disc (and what was shown at the theaters.) Most reviews I read said it elevated this film from "fair at best" to "good." I agree. It made the movie much, much better.
Yeah, it's more far-fetched than the other superhero movies because here, the hero is a blind guy who, because of his blindness, has extraordinary hearing powers along with the rest of the usual Batman/Spiderman-type athletic skills.
As in most of the Batman films, this is a dark film. I think it would have been better had it lightened up a bit with a few jokes and a more wholesome female lead. Jennifer Garner is another one of these latter-day skinny chicks who is made to be tough-looking, tough-talking and tough-fighting.However, I will say she comes across a little more likable on the extended version. One more negative: the fight scenes go on a tad too long and are outlandish.
On the positive side, this may be the best-sounding DVD I own, at least up to ones I had heard up until this came out in January of 2005. Since the hero (Ben Affleck) has super hearing, this is emphasized in this movie and so you, if you have a 5.1 surround system, hear sounds from all speakers at almost times. It's awesome!
Affleck, meanwhile, is likable as the superhero and I liked the message he gives at the end about shunning revenge. Wow, you don't hear that much in movies. Kudos, too, to villains' Colin Farrell and Michael Clarke Duncan. They are fun to watch, especially Farrell.
So, if this superhero film interests you, make sure you get the "Director's Cut" edition. It's far better than the original, and, I believe, the same price.
Description of Daredevil (Director's Cut)
Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 05/13/2008Darker than its popular comic-book predecessor Spider-Man, the $80 million extravaganza Daredevil was packaged for maximum global appeal, its juvenile plot beginning when 12-year-old Matt Murdock is accidentally blinded shortly before his father is murdered. Later an adult attorney in New York's Hell's Kitchen, Murdock (Ben Affleck) uses his remaining, superenhanced senses to battle crime as Daredevil, the masked and vengeful "man without fear," pitted against dominant criminal Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan) and the psychotic Bullseye (Colin Farrell), who can turn almost anything into a deadly projectile. Daredevil is well matched with the dynamic Elektra (Jennifer Garner), but their teaming is as shallow as the movie itself, which is peppered with Marvel trivia and cameo appearances (creator Stan Lee, Clerks director and Daredevil devotee Kevin Smith) and enough computer-assisted stuntwork to give Spidey a run for his money. This is Hollywood product at its most lavishly vacuous; die-hard fans will argue its merits while its red-leathered hero swoops and zooms toward a sequel. --Jeff Shannon
