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.

Again, newbie crap. But if you think about it, this is probably the best forum for the question. Games chat.

I'm not, honestly. You agree this is in the wrong forum, yes? That was my starting point. From then, I replied to the review directly, which isn't very good.

Just agree that you are both entitled to your own opinions, even though they differ, and be done with it.

OK then, forget my whole 'wrong forum' argument. The rest is me critiquing your review.

People post stuff in the 'wrong' forums all the time, and fine if it's a console wars topic in Life, then ridicule is understandable, but this is FOG chat. There's a topic called '?????' asking people, in capital letters if they have ever won a game, and several redundant threads where you are encouraged to 'just chat about anything'.
Maybe you have some sort of crusade to keep FOG chat 'pure' or something, but don't just start arguments because you think you can win them

Because it's pushing down genuine game-related posts to the bottom and adding to the terrible image Chat has, which means good posters don't post in here anymore, and others leave the place altogether. And prospective users won't be that impressed either.

So because I didn't get your (undetectable) sarcasm I'm stupid? Right then.

So I've been upgraded from < a five year old to < a 13 year old? Great!

Strictly from memory, then, your replies have been based around:

> 1) Nobody ever goes in there, and lots of rubbish goes on in here anyway.

I refuted it with my analogy that you seem to have just ignored.

> 2) No it's not.

That is your genuine reply. Look back. You won't admit to one mistake.

> 3) Any good story will be made a film eventually.

Wishful thinking. John Simpson's autobiography was great, but I don't see his life story being made into a film any time soon. Ditto Project Eden.

4) Again, you gave no reason, just said she put emotion into the role. No examples, no nothing.

5) You blamed the cigar stuff on him when it clearly isn't his choice.

Do you really want to argue with us El Blokey? We all think the same thing yet you seem to want to argue? We don't care what you think and don't even understand why you are caring or arguing.

"No, I would then visit the Nintendo or Xbox forum, if nothing good, I would go. They're the only forums I visit, and if i find nothing interesting, I will simply leave"

The only bit I missed out, because as I said, it was pretty much a void point anyway.

"Without Cubist, I would never have seent his post". What are you trying to say, that it's GOOD he posted it in here because otherwise you would have missed it? Well it would have been your fault then. If you want to read movie reviews, head to the movie forum.

And technically that makes sense, but it isn't accurate. I've expressed my points perfectly well, and backed them all up.
