the devil, you say

Somewhere, Frank Miller is weeping.

And somewhere (most likely New Jersey), Kevin Smith is claiming that this is the best comic adaptation since The Rocketeer.

Dreck.

I saw it last night. It was good. Not great, but I was entertained. Not as good as Spiderman, surely, but hey. It's a supehero movie. Whaddya want, Citizen Kane?

I'm a bit surprised. Most of the reviews I've read have been moderately positive.

I'm biased.

Love Daredevil, the comic. Hate Ben Affleck.

I loved it, but I've got no problem with Affleck.

I really liked it, and Frank Miller can't say a word until he apologises for "Dark KNight Strikes Again"

You didn't like it? I thought it was entertaining and I was pleasantly surprised by Affleck. If you take it for what it is, it's not terrible. I thought it was neat to see the characters come to life like that.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, people - so listen up: "Mmmm, Jennifer Garner."

There, case closed.

I caught it on Saturday and it wasn't a bad movie. My biggest complaint was that the action scenes were a touch too dark to see well.

It's a fun little action movie I'd put on level with the "Scorpion King" and "XXX." As long as you don't expect too much, you should enjoy it.

Miller has a cameo, Bullseye kills him with three pencils for ruining Batman and Robocop.

So does Stan Lee (it seems to be written into his contract these days) So does Smith. I liked the occasional artist namedropping: Quesada, Kirby

Somebody explain to me how the hell Leland Orser survived the movie?!

There was also a big John Romita plug on the boxing arena marquee.

The movie was so-so. Affleck was Affleck and Jennifer Garner was RAWR! Hope she gets her own flick out of it.

I don't get it. I thought Will Kane killed Frank Miller.

Had the choice to see it or "Chicago" on Friday night. I chose well. (Or, rather, my beloved spouse chose well.)

This is Frank Miller 2, obviously

I liked it. I agree with the posts that you just have to go into it not expecting too much....

Also "Jose Quesada", Miller, Bendis etc...

Just about the entire staff of marvel comics was present or name-dropped somewhere.

Ooooooohhhh, Jennifer Garner!

Now what was that movie about?

I liked it, truth be told. It's definitely missing something, though - a spark that animated Spiderman and the Keaton Batman flicks just isn't here. But I don't think it's the actors' fault. the script is just not quite there and the direction is somewhat flat. I'd certainly give it a better thann a C-.
