Speaking of blind...Was Daredevil a dumb film?

I didn't watch the whole movie. I had to turn it off when Jennifer Garner started beating up Ben Affleck. (A BLIND character!)

:wtf:

1. Well, the character was blind but his other senses were hyper-good

so it more than balanced out. I loved the film.

2. Just follow the Ben Affleck Rule

If Ben Affleck is the title character, it's probably a crap movie.

3. There is actually an exception

to that rule and that was "Jersey Girls" directed by Kevin Smith.

4. I liked it better than THE HULK.

But not as well as reading the old comics. Matt Murdock is an awesome character as a blind attorney in Hell's Kitchen.

6. synopsis

The movie had weak fight scenes and a lifeless finale. Much like every other comic cash in, made recently. The only new one I would recommend is Hellboy.

9. I don't get why so many people dislike the film

Yeah, it's not Frank Miller's Daredevil, but I thought they were fairly respectful of the comics and concept. My biggest gripe was the fight scenes were horribly filmed and so dark that I thought I was going blind.
