Daredevil
Character » Daredevil appears in 4764 issues.
As a child, Matt Murdock was blinded by radioactive waste while trying to save an elderly stranger about to get hit by a truck carrying the dangerous material. In turn, his other senses were heightened to superhuman sharpness and he gained a form of "radar sense". By day, he is a successful trial lawyer; but by night, he guards Hell's Kitchen as Daredevil: the Man Without Fear.
Fringe Screenwriter Hired to Base New Daredevil Movie On Born Again
@Eyz said:To continue our out-of-subject discussion: I guess to each their own, it all depends on everyone's tastes.@FadeToBlackBolt said:Lordy no. I've seen every Die Hard, I'm a huge fan of the franchise. It returned to the Die Hard formula, which the awful third one ignored. John McClane doesn't need a sidekick, Matt Farrell was his partner, like Powell and the Janitor in the first two. They helped, but were never equals with McClane. John didn't know anything about tech stuff, so Matt helped, otherwise he got out of the way and let Bruce Willis do his thing; which is be the biggest badass in the Universe. The plane scene was ridiculous, but other than that, it was just a fun action movie with the best action movie hero ever killing bad guys and being awesome. Die Hard isn't supposed to be cerebral, and it wasn't, it was just great for what it was. With A Vengeance was easily the worst Die Hard. No saving the family, no holiday, and a buddy cop mentality? Fail.@Eyz said:Lemme guess...first Die Hard/action movie you've ever seen? Too much CGi, not enough "real" action sequence, no violence, no real threat (come on, terrorist of the internet shutting down a country? really?), not much badass cowboy attitude.. and going from Sam Jackson as sidekick to the "Mac guy"...ugh...@ReverseNegative said:Die Hard 4.0 was awesome -____-Not FOX!!!!Exactly! And for the others, don't try defending Fox! Everything they've released this last decade, every so called "blockbuster"'s been mostly awful lackbusters. Zero budget, meaning one or two big action scenes "just for the trailers", a 100% rentable movie that will make profits (AVP1, 2..) even with little rteception, awful mess of a plot, generic plot/characters.. It's no surprise they either have one big "name" (ex: Hugh Jackman in Wolverine Origins) and then run out of budget so all the action scenes end up generic and boring (without even thinking about the awful CGi-enhanced or not bad endings be it in X-men 3, Fantastic Four 1 or 2, Wolverine Origins..) I mean, they even messed up Die Hard in that random popcorn movie that was Die Hard 4...
But found it pretty "lackbuster", with big CGi action scenes (the plane for example) used mostly for the trailers. (the "20th Century Fox way")
The Mac guy was actually is sidekick in the movie honestly.
I'm not talking about the plot being "cerebral" or not, but this plot would have been better off without John McLane. It's not about him being out of his element (that's the case with all his movies) but just being too much Tom Clancy and not enough "lone cop saves the day by acting like a bad guy/douche. That's where the Yipiii kay comes from after all - which was even censored in theaters... Too much censored insults and digitally taking out blood/damage off Bruce Willis (thus the R-rated DVD release), pg-12 modern action scenes, not enough "real violence" and practical effects.. heck even the bad guys weren't that bad. Be it with the sleek and sexy Maggie Q not making a credible bad guy for John McLane or the villains leaders looking like such a...I dunno... the guy doesn't come off as a threat for McLane.
And LFoDH didn't had a buddy cop nor holiday themed story either. Anyway, I still prefer the closed doors-feel of the first 2 Die Hards. Die Hard 3 is great, fun, by a fantastic movie director in the same way Terminator 2 is a badass flick. Being the tops of the action genre, with fantastic rythm and practical effects, explosions, chases, etc.. DH4 is so conventional and cliché.. The returning "old" hero complaining about not being that young anymore (they could have done without it!), techno-cyber threat like half of movies released in the 2000s, 2-3 huge CGi action scenes used for trailers that only last so long in the actual movie...
Err..sorry for the long rambling..
That's what happens when you get me going on a series I love :P
What is my opinion compared to the all those good reviews DH4 had anyway :/ -sigh-
Didnt Thor do somthing in this Arc be cool if he makes a cameo here to show its in the continum of the Marvel Movie Verse
I think that done right Born Again could make a great movie. I think the Daredevil movie was a good idea, the execution just didn't follow through. The actors weren't right for one thing, and the plot was CRAP. D: The directer's cut is a lot better than the theatrical version, though.
Overall with the Born Again story the one thing I'm most worried about is Mat's Catholic faith; that could seriously get hairy if it isn't done right..
