Rented this over the weekend, not impressed.
The pace wasn't right, it took an hour to get into the actual story, when whathisface got killed by Bullseye and Elektra thought it was Daredevil.
Before that we did have a couple of scenes of Daredevil hunting down and sorting out people, but it wasn't relevant to the plot, really.
Look at Batman Returns, the way that Batman and Catwoman clash a number of times, and the way it develops betweeen there human characters, and their alter-ego's. With this, Elektra and Daredevil only fought once, when it would have been better if the death of her father happened in the first half hour, and it went on from there.
Colin Farrell was good as Bullseye though, I enjoyed his performance.
Kingpin wasn't particularly menacing either. "Oh no, I got kicked in the legs, I'm finished!"
It wasn't a complete write-off, it did have it's moments, but mostly it was disappointing.

Batman's great, Returns is quite poor when you compare them (I watched them both back to back)
Still decent though, especially compared to other superhero films... like the original Punisher.

Man, Armageddon sucked.

Now Spider-Man I liked.
That movie was worked well for me. It had conflict throughout and the people he cared about were the ones in danger. The action scenes actually made sense as well.
Spider-man had three or more meetings with the Green Goblin, and they had some kind of respect for each other. There was none of that in Daredevil. It's one of the poorer superhero movies over recent years. Not as bad as Batman and Robin, but it's no Spider-Man, X-Men, or Batman + Returns, is it?

And Jery Bruckheimer and (the late) Don Simpson are responsible for influencing a lot of producers and directors into making crap blockbusters.

Action film /= superhero film
I wouldn't call The Rock or Armageddon crap yet they are action films. Two of the best action films in the last 15 years without a doubt.
The action films released within the last 2 years is where the crap bit comes in. I seriously doubt that we will see classic action films like the ones I listed above for a long time yet.

They're action films. Crap is what you should expect, really.
*nonsense.
Tch, saying the acting was terrible is just plain unfair.
