This thread has been linked to the game 'Top Gear Dare Devil'.
Dare Devil, quite possibly the most eagerly anticipated film of the year has hit the big screen like few others have in the past. I’m not saying it’s as good as the stunning Lord Of The Rings movies but not far from it. Many of you may be thinking this is just another Spider-Man movie brought to you by Marvel but you could not be farther from the truth.
As usual we have the two lives of a super hero, by day Ben Affleck plays “Matt Murdock” an attorney for the poorer yet innocent members of society however if the courts fail to do justice at night Matt Murdock becomes Dare Devil. This masked vigilante swoops over the city falling from buildings and jumping from rooftops he speeds to the guilty to deal out justice.
Now you may be thinking this is all well and good however what makes Matt so special that he thinks he can take down the criminal world? Well I’ll tell you. When Matt was a child a freak accident lead to bio hazardous chemicals flooding into his eyes. Although this took Matt’s sight he gained a lot in return. The chemicals sharpened his other four senses to perfection and although he could no longer see, he also gains a kind of radar through his now bat like ears.
Like every film worth seeing this film has a girl, Elektra (Brilliantly played by Jennifer Garner) is the woman of Dare Devil’s dreams however this damsel is not in distress. Jennifer rivals Dare Devil himself as a fighter so needless to say the fight scenes are nothing short of spectacular.
This is were the film gets interesting, now we have identified the good guys lets talk about the villains. The Kingpin of NY (Poorly played by Michael Clarke Duncan) may be wealthy and powerful like most villains in the world but he calls upon the help of his Irish assassin Bullseye (Expertly played by Collin Farrell) to murder all the people he can’t.
This is when Dare Devil truly saves the day, using his radar and other super human senses he defeats Bullseye and the Kingpin himself in two (slightly long-winded) intense fights. The best aspects of these spectacular fights are the originality, fighting to the death inside a cathedral then inside a flooding office with no way out except the window.
In conclusion this film has the tremendous aspects of originality, a superb cast (mainly), an excellent story line and scenes of true passion and intensity that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. This is an experience you may never find at the cinema again (if you don’t go to Lord Of The Rings – Return Of The King) so go today or as soon as possible and enjoy the movie event you’ll be talking about for weeks.

Oh, how I laughed. The reason I won't be seeing this film anytime soon.
And the fact it has Ben Affleck in it..
*shudders*
Well, continue with the arguing. It brightens up my evening!

I really couldn't care less about the other two points anymore as we have argued them from the beggining and I really think I'm right and have given full explanations of why.The point about the spellin however I would use "Super Man" as that is grammatically correct and it doesn't look good when you get something like that wrong. It may be written like that in a comic but it is still wrong.

Nobody has actually said that. SFone has stood up for it, but nobody has said it was good. And it's also crap in the sense that it is littering up the wrong forum.

Techincally it should be Dare-devil. But THE COMIC BOOK CHARACTER IS CALLED DAREDEVIL. ONE WORD. If it was grammatically correct it would be two words or hyphenated, but it isn't. If you did a review on Superman I would you refer to Reeves' character as Super Man?

OK...Kingpin's CHARACTER was that of a big man who wore sharp suits and SMOKED CIGARS A LOT. THAT'S THE CHARACTER. So he smokes cigars a lot in the film. He did act - take the bit at the end for example. Or when Bullseye arrives...'was that really neccessary?'. His acting was fine for what the role was - a hammed up villain.

Do you remember how many times he was smoking that Cigar? He smoked a new cigar in almost EVERY scene each time ti was either covering his face or the smoke was coming up past his face. When you can't see an actor and his hand has constantly got a walking stick in it and a cigar in the other it is very hard for him to act at all thus his acting was terrible

Yes. So it is DareDevil, much like Superman. Not Dare Devil, or Super Man. So you were wrong.

It was an introduction to his character. Otherwise it would just be like 'oh, final scene, this is Kingpin'. You are saying 'because they had a closeup of a cigar, his acting was poor'. Which makes no sense.

Easily, If they didn't have the close up of the cigar end in the first place that would be the start of working around it. It was hardly a needed scene and it would allow him to try and act to his full potential however they did not work around it in any way and thus his acting was poor.

Easily, If they didn't have the close up of the cigar end in the first place that would be the start of working around it. It was hardly a needed scene and it would allow him to try and act to his full potential however they did not work around it in any way and thus his acting was poor.
