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.

Post one example of it, and I will explain it (I can guess it's because when you've 'rebutted' the argument you've actually missed the point).
When I've made a point, for example the X-Men and Matrix ones, you've just avoided it. Because I'm right.

Yes, and yours was also opinion. A riduculous one, considering it's only February anyway. Plus, The Matrix trailers have smashed all download records on the internet, and was the first film to top 1m in DVD sales. It is more anticipated than DD, at the very least.

It's common knowledge that X Men triggered the comic book frenzy. And Spiderman's success at the box office helped along the likes of DD and Hulk to make it to the cinema.

Yes. But it was very annoying. A flaw in your review, if you will.

So it's the actors fault that the script or director dictated that his CHARACTER smoked a cigar a lot?

The fight scene was neat but she didn't really have to do that much else apart from look nice and cry.

The Kingpin is poorly played for many reasons for example you see his cigar as often as his face. If you have to ask about why Garner's performance was excellent you really didn't see the film at all.

Once again I will say you are the only one who seems to be upset by this. You are being sooo petty and slow appart from the fact all your arguments are easily made void you still continue with the same argument phrased the different way for no reason.
