I agree with most of what you said but, two things kinda stood out.

1. The way the Kingpin acted was realistic on two seperate points. The first is that the mafia is dead and "players" make up the majority of crime sindicates second, is that if he was 100% ape-shit then he wouldn't be able to run the crime rings too well

2. Bullseye's a wise-ass, it's actually the main reason why he's paired with deadpool so often, tone down deadpool and you get bullseye

1) I wasn't saying Kingpin should be psycho throughout the whole movie, but I can't be scared/intimidated by a "player" mob boss. Some things just can't be too realistic because the story might suffer from it.

2) Bullseye's sarcastic and funny, I get that. However, we were seeing the sadistic Bullseye and the cheap humor Bullseye in the same movie. Ryan Reynolds found the balance in "Wolverine" during the short time we saw him on screen. That's more of what I wanted.

Ben can only act if Jennifer is in the same movie.

by the way ben afleck sucked as daredevil and he is not a great actor. in all the films he makes he act the same..look johnny deep he change character for each of his movie but ben act the same. mat demon in comparisonhis a much better actor then ben.

I FINALLY saw the director's cut recently. Both versions are good, but I have to say the director's cut is far superior.

[FilmReviewerGuy]

I think if you want a short and not complex movie go for the theatrical cut but if you want a more action packed, complex, more involved and darker version go for the fabolous director's cut.

Ben is a good actor, I like his portray of Daredevil. The score is good the Soundtrack is even better IMO. I agree the director's cut was alot better, Bullseye in the plane was pushing it. Froggy Nelson in this one was good.

I really like this review, you should do a video giving your opinion on how a Daredevil reboot should go!

[VRG75]

I agree with almost every review you have. I felt the same way about the movie. I mean daredevil wasen't as bad as everyone made it out to be. The movie was very good and had some flaws.

The music I can agree with. Some of the modern music wasen't a good choice. Like " House of Pain- top of the mornin." didn't have hardly anything to do with the movie. The love scene was a little much I think. Just a regular kissing scene would be better.

But yes ben played a great matt murdock.

i personally like this review you seem to have thought everything through well i agree with almost everything like Affleck he played a good Matt that i thought was more identifible then the one in the comics

and you're right that the tone is conflicted a bit do you think it wouldve been better if Johnson had aimed for an R rating to begin with rather then 13 espically since you could say daredevil in a lot of ways is sort of the marvel version of Batman? just asking since i know for you is #1
