Marvel/Netflix's Daredevil

[ch33zw1z]

I didn't read comics as a kid (banned in my house growing up). So I don't know the background to these based on the comics. This show popped up on Netflix and I took the plunge. I like it very much so far. I'm about halfway through, it's been non stop action and goodness.

1 more to go. So very good! Clever in production. Let the actors act.

His acting is top notch, I expect award nominations at least.

It's excellent IMO. Not perfect, but excellent nonetheless.

Agreed ... 4 stars not 5 but IMO but totally worth it.

fisk came off as a butterball. not sure what's so special about him. he didn't do anything really crazy or evil.

Yep. I rated it 4 stars on Netflix.

Maybe you should watch the show again.

what, smashing that guy's head with the car door? that's amateurish.

Did that actor gain that much weight to play the Fisk character?

One of the things I didn't really care for was the portrait of the Kingpin. If they had gone the route of showing him rising and building his empire, or shown him at the top of his game, I would have liked it more. Instead they did this odd thing where they tried for both. It was only at the end that the Kingpin accepted his role and embraced it. At least they kept his temper issues in place.

As a child, murdering your dad with a hammer, then helping/watching your mom cut your dad into tiny pieces and dispose of them over a week.

Setting 4 buildings ablaze to possibly kill one guy.

Killing another ~3 people with his bare hands.

As I recall he was on the chunky side to begin with.

So you couldn't watch it happen eh? He didn't just smash the guys head. The guys head was no longer attached to his body. Pretty gruesome way to go.

He didn't decapitate him per say. He pulverized the head so much it just wasn't there anymore.

edit: I'm pretty sure printerbandit is in full troll mode with most of his posts.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he send the head to the guy's brother so he's overreact?

I should know that just based on his avatar.

Maybe, I just remember seeing brains and stuff fall out of the SUV, it was the brutal. :awe:

I agree.. it really was.

Just the body. Without the head.

Just finished and good god the Daredevil suit is ugly. His simple "Black Mask" outfit was simple and better.

Overall that I enjoyed it.

Still annoys me that there was not one shot of Avenger tower.

I think there was a shot of it in one of Urich's newspaper clippings...

Yeah, I think it was the scene just before Fisk visited him.

I finally started watching this a couple of nights ago. Not GREAT...but definitely watchable.
