Double Dare
I was never a huge Daredevil fan, although I did enjoy Frank Miller's run on the title from many years ago, but I did like the theatrical version of Daredevil (the movie) and was interested in seeing the director's cut. <
> <
>In short, this version fixes some problems I had with the original, leaves some the way they were, and introduces others. <
> <
>I liked the initial violence of the Kingping, which served to increase his threat level considerably. The choice of removing the love seen with Elektra seemed to turn into cliche, where the original version was a nice change from the usual all-sacrificing hero. The sub-plot of the murder, while showing more of the lawyer side of Matt Murdock, didn't seem that inspired and didn't seem to serve the core story (just complicate it). <
> <
>It would have been nice to see Bullseye introduced while breaking out of prison, headaches and all, and to have saved a Kingpin showdown for a sequel, letting the Bulleye showdown really serve as an immediate climax to the events with Elektra. <
> <
>The cast was excellent and I found myself enjoying Affleck as Daredevil -- definitely my favorite role of his to date. Garner, while not particularly Greek, did a good job, and Favreau was simply outstanding. Farrel was neither here nor there, over the top but not particularly dangerous. <
> <
>The CGI problems with the virtual Daredevil remain from the theatrical release, but the movie looks great as a whole, and while I didn't find this version better, I found it overall to be just as good as the theatrical release and definitely something worth adding to the collection.

Much better than the theatrical release!
I am a huge fan of Daredevil Comics and was so disappointed when I saw the theatrical release of Daredevil the movie. I understand that the producers were trying to market it for a broader audience but I disagree with their "fast pace/all action" product. The movie was LAME! It wasn't even entertaining for its badness, like "Batman Forever" or "Batman and Robin" were. The movie was so abysmal that I felt like stabbing myself in the eyes. The producers forgot that appealing to a broader audience should not mean loosing the story and strong character development. <

>However, despite this fact, when I saw that there was a re-release of the film in a director's cut I thought I would give it a try. To my great shock, the movie is 110% better! A much stronger story (if you could even say the original release had a story), and a lot more nods to the Frank Miller comics that made me a Daredevil fan in the first place. I like Daredevil the film now. I do hope that someday Chris Nolan and the folks responsible for "Batman Begins" will look to do a Daredevil movie the way it ought to be, until then this director's cut is pretty decent. Yes, you must still get over the bad casting (and acting might I add) of Ben Affleck, Colin Farrell, Coolio (why does Coolio need to be in this film--who the hell thought that was a good idea? Fire him immediately!) and Michael Clarke Duncan (and why was he cast as the Kingpin??? And why doesn't Ben Urich work for the Daily Bugle in the film for that matter?) but despite these issues the movie is far better in this director's cut than the theatrical release. <
