New DAREDEVIL Trailer Released! I Like It!
Hey folks, Harry here... Looks like they've released the new DAREDEVIL trailer over at APPLE and it looks pretty damn fine. I like the Affleck narration at the beginning, but then they put in Mr Voice for a bit... ugh... But hey... STAN LEE MADE THE TRAILER!!!! Plus we get our first peek at RADAR-VISION!!! Plus the beginning of Bullseye vs the Limo - a sequence that if they shot it as storyboarded... wowzers! And how about that killer smile of Michael Clarke Duncan's? Does that man look badass in pinstripes or what? And that's the way to treat a fucking olive... I hate olives... well... at least with the pits still in them... yuck... Olives were made for Pizza and Spaghetti, not to eat whole! Plus you get the first hint that BULLSEYE gets a costume... which we haven't seen anywhere online yet, but that I've been telling y'all he'd get! They decided to deemphasize the Foggy Nelson humorous bits for the trailer, and go for more of the action angle. It's a damn fine trailer - though nothing at all like the badassness that is KILL BILL's teaser trailer... though this one looks 5 times more expensive. Though... Jennifer Garner twirling those sai and on her hands and knees on that rooftop... geek fetish dreams for sure! Check it out... Each DAREDEVIL trailer has been better than the one before it! YIPPEE!!!
Click here for 'trailer 2' for DAREDEVIL!
ADDITION: For the person in TalkBack complaining about TOO MANY CHARACTERS... Do any of you know what Moriarty and I have been going gaga in anticipation for DAREDEVIL? It sure as hell isn't because FOX loves AICN - because they treat us like the deformed baby in the dumpster - It is because this film - the story that is being told is FRANK MILLER'S ELEKTRA story... If you know the comics - if you know that Bullseye/Kingpin/Elektra/Daredevil story - then you know this story. It has built in the origin - QUICKLY - and then the Elektra story completely. Now, not all those limited edition ELEKTRA stories - just that Frank Miller - story arc that we all loved to death. As for BULLSEYE's costume - see the movie - the one you've seen isn't there the whole film. This is the first time in comic book to film history - where the BEST STORY from a character's Comic run was turned into a film. So this is as if the Gwen Stacy story had been told... or the coming of Galactus FF story... or the 3 issue Absorbing Man/Loki/Odin/Thor story... This is THE CLASSIC DEFINITIVE DAREDEVIL STORY. Imagine if Fox had the balls to do THE PHOENIX SAGA... it's that type of thing. And the script is GREAT! Hell, even Kevin Smith agrees on that - and you know he's tough on Comic book movies!

I am excited... naysayers be damned. This might just be up there with "Spider-Man" as how to do a comic-flick RIGHT. Warner Bros. should pay close attention...
-
I really can't wait to see this thing. I still kinda feel though that this could be a disapointment, but hay, what comic book movie dosen't have that kinda feeling? (sorry about spelling)
-
I kind of hate to admit it, but Ben Affleck really is starting to grow on me. This trailer gives me hope that this movie is going to really surprise people. Now give me Fantastic Four!
-
Bad actors,bad one liners and bad special effects.Affleck and the director of grumpy old men should be embarrased and i hope this film makes MARVEL ashamed of themselves cause the kingpin IS WHITE.Spawn is black,i sure wouldnt want some white boy playng him and i sure as hell wouldnt want some japaneese guy playing batman.EITHER GET IT RIGHT OR DONT DO IT AT ALL.

I wasn't too fond of the trailer that was released a few months back. This one is much better, I declare.

Very cool trailer. You can tell by the change of music and the action versus romance themes that they are going for the broad male and female audience which is smart by the marketing department. As much as I liked the teaser trailer, this new extended version should have been pushed on us 2-3 months back. I just fear that this movie will not make as much box office buck as it deserves to. We were oversaturated with Spiderman ads and trailers but that is a good thing so the customer can get hyped and have something to look forward to. Daredevil is only a month away and we just now get the great trailer. I just don't think word-of-mouth is going to spread in a month for this flick to the non-comic book geeks and women out there. Women play a huge role in deciding whether a movie makes over 100 million or not and I just don't think the random chick out there knows what a Daredevil is. I fear this will make less than Blade 2 did which is not a bad thing but a movie as cool looking at this will be, should be pushing way over that mark. I hope I am wrong. Keep up the great work Harry.. -
There was a eulogy on this site for Conrad Hall a couple of days ago. Somebody brought up the fact that he shot a rain sequence to make the droplets of water look like Robert Blake's tears in a movie that he worked on. I think I noticed a shot in the trailer that uses the same effect on Ben Affleck. Maybe it's just me...

Each new trailer is gettin' better and better! Still wish it was Christian Bale as DD, Jolene Blalock as Elektra, Mickey Rourke as Jack Murdoch, Jason Statham as Bullseye with the blue costume and Lance Henriksen as Stick(not in the movie, maybe the next one.)
Affleck is growing on me, least he's a fan and not another A-lister just "mailing it in" looking for a franchise! Hoping for the best...if this film works, I'm hoping they do a Captain America movie... -
Jesus Christ, it's about time they started telling the story!!! I've seen it now eight times. I like how Affleck gets his ass thrown into that window!
-
Crap. -
anyone who wants to bash that trailer must be suffering from some sort of serious sexual disfunction and simply in an inconsolably depressed mood. i'm not a big fan of the Affleck voiceover, but thats not really part of the movie, is it? what was shown in the trailer looked excellent as far as delivering the "feel" of DD, along with some kickass action. i loved the Kill Bill trailer too, but i think the DD trailer stacks up well in comparison. 2003 is looking like it could be a genre-movie-lover's wet dream.
-
As much as I make fun of Ben Affleck, it's hard to hate on the guy. He is a true comic fan, he's played different roles, and he even made fun of himself in JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK. He doesn't seem like one of these stars that take themsleves oh so seriously. I'll bet anything he reads these posts just like we do. Plus it looks like he might nail the part of Matt Murdock. I certainly hope this movie rocks. We've had a good run of good comic book films lately, no need for that run to stop now. DD next month, Bruce Banner's alter ego this summer.

by bearison ford
i feel bad for ragging on him so much since he seems to have a genuine love for the character, and i will definitely hold out the rest of my judgement until i actually SEE the flick, but man, here's hoping he surprises us all and pulls it off.

by the dude abides
and man, don't i wish it wouldn't be...but ben affleck is NOT matt murdock, matt damon might have been able to pull it off, but not ben. sorry. and there's just too many supporting heros/villains in this. there's no way any one story is going to be developed enough. sure, i'll see it...
-
...Bullseye falling to his death? At least it was subliminal in the last trailer, like he was waving his arms crazily or something. Here, it's as clear as day, and even more obvious that its a complete aping of Rickman in Die Hard. Stupid Fox marketing...
-
But the shitty music almost killed it. I will see this movie.
-
Now THIS is a trailer that gets me into the movie. I'm still not all that fond of Affleck as DD but he is starting to grow on me and the action looks absolutely kick-ass. Love Bullseye's last line of the trailer.
-
Is anyone else tired of the same old cliche' superhero tripe? I mean: obligatory shot of superhero on some semblance of a cross (the more edgy the better, like iron or oooh CONCRETE!, narrating story, flashback origins, yadayadayada) . . . Oh and while I'm at it, someone come up with a more creative trailer idea. Shotgun edits with wanker music and Mr. Voice are so dayum uninspired it makes the plots of some of these knock-offs seem like divine intervention. Let's face it. There will be a number of cool action scenes in this movie, and Jennifer Garner wet and moving is worth the price of admission alone. But spare me the Ben Affleck "whisper voice." He comes across about as cool and shadowy as Austin Powers only with a goofier costume. Btw, MCD IS the Kingpin. I stand quite corrected on that. Let me tell you this crow tastes yummy. Daredevil is simply an appetizer for Hulk, and Kill Bill will rule the planet. Wait and see. Too bad Lucy Lu-ser will foul up every scene she breathes dead untalented air into. Why her, Quentin? WHY?! Dear God . ..
-
This film looks crap. And Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin???? Are you having a laugh? You might as well cas... er... Ben Affleck as... er... Daredevil or somethin- wait a min- OH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
This movie has low named actors (Jennifer Garner, Michael Clark Duncan, Colin Farell) in leading roles, so why not have a low named actor playing Daredevil. Also, The trailer looked cool, but the Ben Affleck voice over really brought it down. Why is this hack getting movie roles.

by wino-forever
I don't get it. One instance in which the regulation "OMG GAY!" talkback response is totally warranted, and everyone seems to love it. Every aspect of that trailer was totally hokey. Horrid dialogue, horrid acting, and a not a single original idea. People who are into this are probably the same people who faithfully rent the Crow sequels. I mean, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this will be just like eating pussy, just like Blade 2 was. I only hope DD will bust a suplex or two as a shout-out to the Nu Metal/Smackdown! crowd.
-
No, not horrible. It looks like dog shit. Hope I'm wrong. Won't be though, most likley from what we've seen of the trailers.

by xavier masterson
Bald head + freakishly large eyebrows + faggoty goatee = guaranteed belly laughs. You add a bullseye carved into the guys melon and someone is getting chewed up twizzler bits spit into the back of their heads everytime this guy shows his stupid fucking face on screen. Colin Farrell...no thanks. You made a little money from wonderful films like Harts War and American Outlaws. Congratulations, Colin, now grab the nearest high priced hooker and snort some coke out of the crack of her ass on your flight back to Ireland. I guarantee you the American moviegoing public will not miss you. Jennifer garner looks good. Maybe she can save this train wreck of a sci-fi original movie which somehow managed a couple of stars( I speak of course of Michael Clark Duncan and Joe Pantoliano)and big budget. Sorry but this just looks bad.
-
That question's been on my mind since filming began. Did they dig up Michael Beihn as I had hoped?
-
Not so sure about how it sounds, though it looks like the Kingpin - Bullseye scenes will make the movie (though perhaps a little hollow). Might be a case of Spider-Man syndrome: looks great, gets the heart right, spikes the whole thing with inane dialogue. *** Johnny Storm - thank you for pointing that out. I never would have noticed it (at least, not at first). I hope you're right. That simple plot twist could be the difference between average and great, and the inclusion of that shot in the trailer GIVES ME HOPE!
-
Yup. It's Gay. Watch as DD uses his Gaydar to seek out the Gayest Villian you have ever seen.
-
I don't know anything about Daredevil. I've never read the comics, and i barely know him from what i've read in this site and the past trailers. Speaking as one from the crowd, i can say that i really liked this trailer, and that i'll be seeing this movie for sure. It looks really cool... Sorry if i sound silly or something, just wanted to put my 2 cents in.
-
Affleck's voice-over. He truly is a man without a fear trying that hoakey voice. And somebody left it in! I still don't see him as DD, Garner as Elektra or Duncan as Kingpin. That's a bit of an obstacle to actually seeing this right there.(Who am I kidding. It's DD! I'm there!) Farell tries a bit too hard to be a badass. Didn't Bullseye used to lounge around Fisk's office like he owned the place, cool as ice. He's quite, shall we say passionate here and comes across as stereotypical movie villain. Bullseye of course, was anything but. (At least back in the day. Then came 90's and even heroes were modelled after him.)And of course DD has to lose the mask at some point so we can see Ben's voted-sexiest-of-the-year mug ("Your bodyguard?" He tries once again, to act with his eyebrows, but it's bit hard from behind those sunglasses). SO WHAT'S GOOD: She may not be a greek anymore but that crawling in the rain bit. It hints that they'll really follow the classic DD/Elektra storyline to the bitter end.(I believe it when I see it. Tacked on happy ending? 90% possibility).Spider-Man had one and every superhero film should have one: a scene where they learn to use their new found powers. This one was just about bit too similar to Spidey with sunny day on the rooftops and all, but we'll let it slide. They're aiming for Spider-Man audience, so they use Spider-Man gimmicks. And olives? They're good for you. Very fatty, but that's good fat. You know, Omega-3 and all that.

by xavier masterson
...It doesn't matter if this is the BEST STORY from a characters comic run and it sure as hell doesn't matter if this is the CLASSIC DEFINITIVE DAREDEVIL STORY. What matters is that this looks like shit. And even if the script was great how many wonderful scripts have been turned into absolute crap by directors that find themselves in over their heads. This is the equivalent of mechanically seperated chicken. Just add affleck. -

Bullseye wont get that costume... Movie looks great though
by badhatbooney
Somehow I kind of doubt ya on this one Harry... In every interview... they talk about how they've changed Bullseye's costume... even the comics have changed to match this look... the romper stomper look aint going anywhere...
Movie looks awesome though... I think Affleck will do just fine... its not like they got George Clooney or Ah-nold... (Batman and Robin flashback... the horror)... MCD is an inspired choice for Kingpin... I like that they went with muscle big instead of Brando big... I have'nt seen enough of Collin Farrel's work to really say but he seemed pretty bad-ass. Jennifer Gardiner... as hot as she is and as well as she could potentially do... she's just not the exotic, dark haired goddess Electra should be... still think it should have been Catherine Zeta Jones... Overall, this could be right up there with Blade II and Spider-man ... (although their will never be a better comicbook movie then Donner's Superman!) -
Bullseye IS a pretty cool customer at Kingpin's office. Cool as in "not a raging lunatic". It's just the acting style that rubs me the wrong way. Bad-assness for bad-assness's sake or sumpthin'. And that fucking dartboard on his forehead. Please, Mr. Kingpin, give him the costume already. (Not that his wearing it in the "falling to his death"-shot.)Yeah, good call talkbacker above: is Stick in it? How about Turk? Could someone enlighten us?
-
Ok. You can knock him for his eyebrows or the thing on his head...
But go watch Tigerland and then come and tell me Colin Farrell isn't an incredible young actor.
Sure he's done some crappy roles, but the guy could be one of the highlights of this movie if he is on his game.
(And MCD is a friggin awsome King Pin... I don't care what anyone else says.) -
... it still has Affleck playing himself in it. I wanted to laugh during the voice over and a 2nd time when he responds to a criminal with "Justice...". My predictions : Jennifer Gardner is going to outact Ben and with her martial art skills, will also make Ben look really bad onscreen. Michael Clarke Duncan is actually kind of cool as the Kingpin. Colin Farrell might end up hamming it up for this, we'll see. The music in this trailer is just as lame as the last one, but this one looks better. Damn I wish they went with Guy Pierce instead of Ben. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, but I doubt I'll be able to get over Ben being Ben
-
.........seeing his fucking smirking delivery on screen is gonna completely pull me out of the film. Bastard. I have a simple rule for movie heroes. If I think I can kick the actors ass, then I don't buy him in the role. Matt Damon I believe might give me some trouble. Ben Affleck. Shiiittt. I'll clown that fool.............End Rant
-
Toward the end of the trailer there is a quick over the shoulder shot of some one in a black cowl looking at DD with his mask off. Ben has a pained look on his face. A near despair type expression. My supposition- Elecktra just killed, Bullseye basking in the glory of having killed her taunts DD. Insert plot device allowing Matt to have removed the mask to allow him to properly emote. Great trailer too. O am a long time Daredevil fan with a near complete run of the original series. This is the definitive story and a bold choice on the part of the producers. I really hope this works!
-
... in "The Native American Man Without Fear" http://www.nativetatanka.com/ (okay, It's late and I'm tired...)
-
that looks soooooooo freakin' gay it left the taste of strawberry cheese cake icecream in my mouth. Affleck's hair looks retarted. Bullseye looks like Colin Farrell in the worst bald cap ever... enough movies like this will kill the genre. And don't tell me to hold judgement till I see it, cause not ONE shot in that trailer looked better than an episode of Dark Angel. Hahaha. I'm gonna watch that again. It was hilarious.
-
"One man can make a difference!" ... that was the friggin tagline of KNIGHT RIDER back in the 80s. How lame is that? And the "radar" looks like the webs of the very first Spider-Man Teaser. And (I say it again) the tagline is crap. "Take the dare"???? "This summer - justice is blind!" Yeah, that's my favorite!
-
The Daredevil I want to see is an R-rated one with Ed Norton playing Murdock/Daredevil and Salma Hayek playing Electra. Who's with me? The movie's R-rating would come from violence of course and strong sexual content.
-
Not. That Allanis song is an embarassment. proudly releasing it on Valentines day adds to the femme factor. How can someone witness that half-baked, sequel to Mega Force spectacle and say it 'kicked ass'. What are they putting Zoloft in the freakin drinking water now.
-
That shot you refer to isn't bullseye in a black cowl thats the back of Michael Clark Duncan's large blak head. Since you see Bullseye in the same gay outfit in every scene in the trailer especially what looks to be the final fights of the film (even his death scene)and I think that nixes the idea that he winds up with a different costume. -
They should have just gotten Frank to write this himself instead of the guy who wrote Grumpy Old Men and Grumpy Old Men 2.

I explained DD to him and assured him that it was (or is supposed to be) deadly serious. He gave me a distinctly unbelieving look.
-
"Attack of the Clones," despite it's extremely fun title, is excrement from beginning to end. From it's pathetic visuals to the abhorrent love story to the terribly paced finale to Christensen's beyond bad performance, the movie was a bomb. I love Star Wars, I even really like Phantom Menace to a certain degree, but Clones has truly killed the franchise's future.

by a goonie
Some of those images of building-leaping and serious ass-kicking are wonderful. I like the scope of this trailer, the amount of information it attempts to convey. And of course, that final line ("I want a costume") just plain rules.
-
Your casting picks were impeccable. I'm a huge fan of both Jason Statham (why Ghosts of Mars? Why?) and Lance Henriksen, and seeing as they could dominate the respective roles in which you'd place them, and that they deserve to entire Marvel's universe on-screen (since the movies are getting good, good actors should be in them), I wish the casting execs had consulted with you first. And although I've been a Christian Bale hater for a long time (and since I'm Greek, his accent in Captain Corelli's Mandolin didn't help...), my opinion of him has grown since Reign of Fire (another movie I expected to hate and surprisingly found fondness for) and I think he'd make a great DareDevil. Good spots all around. Beyond that, I'm starting to see MCD as the Kingpin. It would be quite interesting to get some of the Wolverine/Kingpin scenes from back in the day, as neither actor resembles at all what I expected for the character but both have grown on me. Of course, my biggest worry is Jennifer Garner as Elektra. She's hot, yes, which is *a* prerequisite... but will she pull off the role? There are a lot of Greek actresses out there right now with whom I'd be infinitely more comfortable... but I'm holding hope she can win me over.
-
And considering this is the first trailer where there wasn't 90 percent bashing in the talk backs It seems that I am not the only one who thinks this way. We still have the Affleck haters, DD haters, and people who complain about everything bashing this movie, but we had similar with Spiderman as well.
-
i was digging it at the first half of it. It was giving the comic book feel even though Affleck was narrating. Then it went to complete shit when they got Mr. Voice narrating and they played tha lame song that sounded like the wails of Avril Lavign. I spit on this trailer! A little too hollywood teeny movie trailer that is trying to get the adolescents demo. in. It should be aimed at the true fan boys. The comic book fans! Viva la Revolucion!!!!
-
Though Mr. Affleck had a really nonchalant narration, same with Mr. Voice, that doesn't help people who see it as just another movie. The music is blah. Kingpin and Bullseye look so cool, like it's glorifying criminals (something I enjoy in films). DD looks like a baby clinging to that cross, not like he's grappling with it, the camera distance is probably to blame. It's a little too dark in lighting and costumes and the Elektra scenes are insulting (esp. cheesey overused dialogue), but the prospects are intriguing me for the first time. I love the ending dialogue from Bullseye! lol! CLASSIC!
-
i dont understand how people could say this looks good
it looks like a really bad cheesy hollywood movie with Ben -the chinnut- Affleck, and is a really, really obvious attempt to cash in on the success that was spiderman
the music was lame, the dialogue sounded like a 16 year old fanfic guy wrote it and the performances from what was shown looked to be pretty sad
-patch -
but that's alright... Bullseye seems psycho enough for me, just not over-the-top.

by jacksonp
Unless Bullseye is gonna survive falling off that roof into the squad cars (in which case, very sly to put the shot in there), I can't believe they've put this shot in the trailer, even if it is only for a few frames. What's the point?
-
...for me to poop on. Casting: horrible. Acting: horrible. Costumes: horrible. What a waste of a good story. I guess we'll have to wait for the remake in twenty years to see Daredevil done right.
-
JacksonP: Bullseye isn't the "final-reel death", 'cause that's what Kingpin's there for.
For anyone wondering if Elektra dies, Garner has been signed on for a sequel and spin-off. But... did anyone notice the scene with Affleck, and Clarke Duncan in the rain in the day, sure looked like it might've been a funeral, specially considering Kingpin wears grey suits in every other shot that's been released. -
Speaking of this funeral scene, check out Ben's hair and how the water rolls off of it. For all the money he makes, I think that he could've got HRS (you know you can swim with HRS and still look good) instead of a waterproof toupee. Oh, and Jen Garner is so hot. I heard that they ended up shooting an additional love scene that will include Jen in her underwear. Count me in!
-
..he's one of the coolest villians in comics, but that black & white costume was lame. The scar/bullseye symbol thing is way, way better. Now if they could just do something about the size of Ben's head before the sequel.....
-
Sucks. And I've thought that since the first stills/teaser. I'm sorry, I can't get past it. The trailer makes the movie look like something made for TV.
I have SERIOUS doubts and reservations about this one. Hey, at least I cannot be disappointed when I go see it! -
What's up with the cheezy 80's hair-metal theme song? Ruined a rather pedestrian, but otherwise acceptable trailer. Also, looks like they're loading up the soundtrack with way to many alterna-crap bands. It's supposed to be set in NYC (though, of course, filmed in LA)... I want the Strokes, Interpol, maybe even some old school Ramones!

by badhatbooney
Im telling you... its just a fun little line in the movie.. like the yellow spandex joke in X-Men...
As for Bullseye's fall... Anyone who remembers what happens to Bullseye in the Elektra saga...Bullseye falls alright... but he'll be around for a sequel... Id be surprised if anyone ACTUALLY died in this movie... -
I'm worried for this film. Outside of this website and a couple smaller genre sites, this movie feels like it has almost no buzz in the outside world ... or is it just me? Nobody talks about it at work, like they did for Spiderman, or even for the Hulk this summer. I think Fox Pictures (?) is really laying an egg on promoting this picture. They're just do a terrible job and it's going to hurt this movies box-office and hurt films like FF being made. Cross your fingers for Xmen and especially the Hulk.
-
Cool-ass trailer. Anyone know what song plays during the trailer?
-
Sucky sucky sucky and, oh yeah, extra sucky.
-
Hey, you can't go wrong in a comic book movie when the storyline that is being depicted even includes a shot that is an exact replica of one of the best Daredevil covers in that DD/Electra/Bullseye story arc. (ie.,DD draped over the cross). I'd love to see Electra's "death" scene be depicted on film in the same way. Anyone remember THAT cover???
SRV Lives!!!!
DA Worm -
is gonna be for Electra's father, whom I believe the Kingpin kills (or has killed rather), and was a business partner with. He died in the Man Without Fear TPB, if I'm not mistaken.
-
DD has his full mask on when he throws Bullseye through the window and it appears from other shots in the the trailer that he has removed his mask towards the end of the film. Ergo if Bullseye dies towards the end of the movie DD would not be wearing his mask. Ok i know its a tenuous deduction but maybe the bullseye falling scene comes early in the movie and it is included in the trailer to throw off us geeks who have noting better than alalyze a trailer frame by farme.
-
Evanescence - Bring Me To Life
-
I think the humor in this movie is not so much going to come from Foggys input but rather from the oblong shape of Afflecks head every time we see it in the DD mask!
-
are the only big actresses who look like Elektra and have the physicality the role requires. They are tall athletic and womanly with curves as opposed to Garners skinny wide shoulders. They are also dangerous looking and exotic rather than the smiley faced all american Garner. Garner is not really made of foreign Femme Fatale material.They could have at least dyed her hair black and given her a tan, on the posters she even looks Ginger!
-
...who visit AICN. I'm guessing some of you guys must be, by the way you go on and on about casting, lighting, dialogue, music, costumes, etc. Which would be fine except you just know that 95% of you guys who are bashing these trailers and the upcoming movie, are "still" going to end up seeing it in a theater. Tell you what, why don't you "stop" going to movies adapted from comics, stay home, where you can't bother anyone else with your "comic book authenticity" ramblings, and read the actual comics. Because nothing these studios do is ever good enough for some of you. At this point, they probably figure, "Why try to bend over backwards to satisfy these comic book geeks, when no matter what we do, they're going to rip us apart on the internet, and especially over at AICN."
-
Listen to me, Ben Affleck, try and sound cool with my Alec Baldwin impersonation. Come on guys, this look lame. If I didn't know this was based on a pretty cool comic, I would never pay to see this. It looks like Schumacher style cheese.

i guess they should have put a warning at the beginning of the trailer: "WARNING- teenyboppers with tender constitutions may want to view X2 trailer instead of DD." come on you little twerps, you know that trailer scares the shit out of you. if you know the material at all you know what you'll have to face in order to get to the end, and you are afraid to go there. or maybe you are afraid of how high DD is going to set the bar and that your own favorite comic hero's movie will pale in comparison? either way, fear is what is motivating the bashing, for one reason or another. ironic isn't it, when the movie is about "the man without fear"?
-
This is the only thing that worries me about this movie. Sure, I hope it does well and it's a great movie. But, if it had tested well and the studio thought this was a class A movie, they would have released it later, probably summer. Winter is usually when Hollywood dump all the crap movies they have.
Chris -
If this same exact trailer featured Guy Pearce and a talented and exotic Greek actress, I'd be very excited. I actually have enjoyed Ben in some things... but he is all wrong for this. As is Garner. She is fantastic on Alias. And the fact she is beautiful and can fight like a bad-ass make for good reasons to cast her. But with her very american accent and girl next door charm, it just does not fit with the part at all. I don't understand how Harry can be such a fan of the Frank Miller storylines and latch on to these casting choices. It's like Chris Reeve is an awesome Superman, but to cast him as Wolverine (before his accident) would be a gross error. I think that Ben and Jennifer are poor match-ups of the same caliber.
-
Yep - trailer nailed it. Action, humor, suspense, great acting. Could '03 be the Year of the Devil? Dunno, but I DO know I'll be in line the first day to see this movie.
-
You think that looks good? Man, you must drink alot! What looks good about it? All the great dialog-"He doesn't just kill you. He kills your whole family." Or that tough guy, Ben Affleck. Oooh, he's looks mean in that West Hollywood Gay Pride parade outfit! He wants "justice"? Would have made more sense if he had said "Dick...and lots of it." Oh, wait, there's a real live girl in it. Wow, imagine that! Something for you geeks to whack off to. Get over it, Daredevil was a boring comic and none of you geeks that are praising this would care if your geek idol, Amateur film student Kevin Smith, hadn't written some issues. Break that trailer down and what do yo get? A whole bunch of people twirling around and some horrible music. Oh, joy. Christ, if this makes money, America is doomed.
-
but i do believe that zappaman must have a couple of dog doo snowcones shoved in his eyes since he obviously didn't see that trailer for what it was. the crux of the bisquit is that DD is looking better and better the more we see of it. i can guarantee that we won't hear a line as lame as "do you know what happens to a toad when it is struck by lightning?...", or some lame "you can't die because i love you" and it works crap, like in the Matrix. and finally, zappaman, the price of meat has just gone up, and your old lady has just gone down.
-
He's dreamy and all, but you just don't want him fucking up shit that would otherwise be cool if he wasn't in it. You want to get excited about DareDevil? Imagine it without Ben Affleck. Last July, Matt Damon's mediocre screen presence in "The Bourne Identity" caused my date's vaginal juices to stop flowing and I didn't get any nookie that night. Thanks Matt.

I'm not really familiar with the Daredevil character, but...
by johnnytremaine
that trailer made me think "that's a rental"; or maybe I'll wait until it plays on cable. That Affleck whispery voice made me laugh out loud.
-
Gosh you really think so? Maybe I shouldn't have ate that garlic sandwich. Guy Pierce would have made a better DareDevil than your dreamy poster-boy Assfuck. I agree with the guy above that says if he thinks he can kick a guys ass then he shouldn't be an action hero. Assfuck has about as much charisma as "Joe Millionaire". But you Stan, can keep tossing away to Ben now that he's clad in red leather suit.
-
Gotta love it that Stan even made the trailer this time around. As much as I wish they'd have gone for someone a little more "Greek," (meaning darker hair and eyes like Elektra from the comic books) let's face it: they need someone of an age that can play with Ben and is something of a name. This movie doesn't have any "big" stars in it, though Ben is kind of close to that I still don't consider him A-List. That means that in order to convince financiers that they're going to make their money back you have to pack the movie with a bunch of recognizable faces who even though they are not huge names are at least names. That's what they did with X-Men for the most part, cast Captain Picard and Richard III as the leads, along with Halle, Famke, and Anna. None of those folks open a movie on their own, but combined it increases interest. Aside from that, I thought Garner looked good, and that Ben is actually starting to convince me this movie won't suck. To those who cast dispersions about Ms. Garner, just remember that at one point they were actually considering Lucy Liu for the part (and she's nowhere near Greek). As for those who think the costume sucks, please remember that spandex is a privilege, not a right. Not many people look good running around in spandex. So before you go bitching about the costume not looking EXACTLY like what's in the comics, go back and read a few issues and think about it from a filmic and costuming standpoint. The reality is you can make someone look cool in a skintight suit in an illustration far easier than you can in reality. With regard to Bullseye's costume, Mark Steven Johnson was at Comic Con this year with Joe Quesada, Ben Affleck and the producers. He said that he really wanted to do Bullseye's costume just like it was in the comic book. Joe Quesada, from Marvel, told him "You can't do that, he'll look like a tool." They tried the costume, and guess what? Joe was right, Colin looked like a tool. So, they went a different direction. I'm still not real wild about the stove-top brand on his forehead, but without the cowl I guess it'll have to do (not like just having the Agassi-looking guy slinging shurikens left and right wouldn't tell us who Bullseye is... but then they don't let me do costumes). Anyway... I saw the trailer. I liked it. I'll go see Daredevil. -- SPYder, out.
-
nobody will see it. According to superherohype it's going out in front of "Just Married." I doubt very much that's the audience for this movie. WTF is wrong with these people?
-
Know what happens if this flick suceeds? Simple math..Blade did well, X-Men got a relatively decent budget. X-Men did well, Spider-Man & Blade II got Great, and increased budgets. Spider-Man blew the fuck up, X2: 135 mill +, Hulk's over budget, nobody's tripping in public, Spidey 2...what, $160 mill + out the gate, maybe? (nothing confirmed yet, but it wouldn't surprise me). Fact is, if DD makes it, you just may see Iron Man, Silver Surfer, other relatively second tier characters get done up right. And if they ALL blow up, that $200 mil Fantastic Four movie may just make it to a theatre near you. So, try to look at the big picture...I'd rather see Ben and Jennifer in Leather on wires done well than fucking the 80's cohost of Solid Gold on fucking body stocking with rabbit ears. And on the subject of DD's costume A) if you showed up in Hell' Kitchen in goddamned spandex, no matter how fucking skilled of a fighter you were, guaranted you'd end up like Marsellius Wallace on his worst fucking day on Earth just on fucking principle. and B) look at the Batman flicks. 4 dogshit pictures and those rosy cocksmokers could only manage to get the actor/stuntman's head to move 2 degrees in either direction by Batfuck 4. Looks fucking fine to me: if it bugs me THAT much while viewing the film, I'll punch a hole in an empty box of extra large popcorn and have my girlfriend jerk me off. THAT usually takes the sting out of things that ail my monky ass.

Lara Means: the voice changing is part of superhero lore since t
by the g-man
As far back as the Superman radio show it was established that the hero drops his voice an octive or two when he puts on the costume, so as to disguise his voice. The only exception I am aware of is Spiderman, because his mask is supposed to muffle his voice enough to disguise that it is Peter Parker speaking.
-
Goddamn that was funny. You speaketh the truth my friend. I think some of these Talkbackers actually hate movies, hate comics, and hate themselves.
-
Go look how Elektra creator Frank Miller drew her. Elektra is supposed to have "skinny wide shoulders." She was not the cheesecake queen that current artists give us.
-
Nice to see someone who knows his Zappa. Still, if you plunk down money for this MEGAFORCE remake, you will be left "buns up and squealing"! Unless you're looking for a comedy...
-
...from the casting (and I love Jennifer Garner -- but she's simply too girl-next-door looking [they could have done something about that]), to the 80s music video production design (where's Janet Jackson?), to nitpicky details (why would the flaming DD be in a serif font?! Is Daredevil a graphic artist, too?), the whole thing looks like a mess. Sure, the script may be faithful to one of the best comic storylines -- but if everything else comes off cheesy, it won't matter.

I still say if they're gonna use Peter Krause's haircut anyway
by trav mcgee
...They might as well have gotten Peter Krause. Not hating on Affleck, though, he can be good in roles good for him. Just takes way, way too many bad roles, shows a fundamental lack of taste. Put two years or so of filler crap between each rare good role, and no wonder you get ragged on. So we'll see, eh? Frankly, my only beef with him as an actor is his voice--always sounds like he's fighting a cold. Can't see it stirring awe, but fingers crossed for 'im. ...So, what's the over/under on the over-exposure universal Colin Farrel backlash? Put me down for $10, April.
-
looks good to me.
-
...I damn near weep with joy when I go back and review just how well the Marvel properties have succeeded and are being treated, compared to what came before. I mean, Mr Eat, Drink, Man, Woman on the fucking HULK!?!?! If somebody would've told me not only that, but the budget was gonna be well over $100 mill. with acclaimed actors and Oscar winners attached AND it may have an emotional core along with it, I'd have knocked back a fifth of Patrone and stuck an umbrella up their ass and opened it. I mean really, Tom Cruise wanted to be Tony Stark, for fuck's sake. We've come a LOOOOOONNG way from Nick Hammond wearing Wonder Woman's bracelet's and a mask made out of Underoo's looking for all the world like a window washer on a saftey line than a superhero. Judge the picture on it's merits: do you get involved in story, in character? This fucking film looks like a comic book, come to life. Period. As in, this sum' bitch could show up tonight on the 11 o'clock news and I'd believe his exploits, bong hits nonwithstanding. Of course I live in Miami, where buff bastards in skintight leather and a mask are as common as Coke dealers and Puffy blocking traffic, but I digress.
-
I know absolutely 0 about DareDevil, but I have issues with any movie that gives away the ending in the damn trailer a la anything Zemeckis (sp?) has done in the last 5 years, like Cast Away and What Lies Beneath. Why on earth do they do that? To save me the price of admission? Um, thanks....
-
Zig zag! Just like running away from an alligator! Since he can't turn his head he'll never catch you! Seriously, I think DD moves better than any superhero to date. And Oneragga, you make an excellent point. DC should take lessons from Marvel on how to make a superhero movie. You get FANS to make the movies.
-
The reason they give away endings in trailers is because they test better than trailers that don't? Why? Because the morons they test to, look at the trailer as a story and not an advertisement. So, they like it better when it has a beginning, middle and end. You want to know why most movies(and trailers for that matter) suck? Testing.
-
I don't know about this film, luckily, I don't have to have an opinion yet. I know I'm not too crazy about the cast, esp. Affleck in the leading role, but it doesn't matter now. What really bugs me is how it all seems soooo ... 'MTV' ? I just wish sometimes it were as easy to simply make the best film possible without worrying about the kinder-audience and the female interest and the comedy people and the realism people, etc. When you factor in all those things, can you say you made the best possible DD movie for fans? We'll find out. I see this trailer and think...Justin Timberlake, boy bands, Britney, etc. things that are constructed to appeal to certain people and we all know who they are. Anyhows, I'm tired and posting on AICN helps prevent my noticing my rambling nature !
-
(I only watched that show to see the Daredevil trailer, followed by the Basic trailer. That Basic flick is shit: all of this hype over the fact that John "Terl" Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson are both in a movie together again, for the first time since Pulp Fiction, but THEY DON'T EVEN SHARE A SINGLE SCENE!) Anyway, Daredevil probably won't be the best or the most successful comic book adaptation of all time, but it sure looks as if it has the best story! Wait, a comic book movie with a damn fine screenplay and pretty good dialogue? Starring Ben "somehow managed to break off a piece of Jennifer Lopez's ass" Afflack? Hmmm... we'll see. My money is still on X2.

I think you have a point. It too bad really. Imagine The Usual Suspects (awesome film) with one of these "give away the ending" trailers. It would suck rocks. I can appreciate the fact that they want to show enough to pique the interest of the public, but when you show crucial plot points or even TOO MANY SCENES (hey, that guy can't be dead, we haven't seen that seen from the trailer with him doing xyz yet...) it can seriously detract from the enjoyment factor of a film or even ruin it for some people. Just my opinion...
-
You people should really get your standards straight. I understand that the average american is obese (no offense, Harry), but putting miss Garner in the same league as Buffy Michelle Gellar is a bit too much. Jennifer is built like Wonder Woman should be: tall, lean, long members, wide shouldered, sculptured face. Monica Belluci is a bimbo - shit she wouldn't stand a chance in mud-wrestling. I could see Catherine Zeta-Jones ten years ago, but not today. At least she's got a mustache, like every self respectable mediterranean woman should.
-
Emmasin, you mean like SLEEPY HOLLOW, where I kept waiting to watch the windmill blow up? Or how about the classic CASTAWAY trailer where he gets off the island? Fact:it tested better than the trailer where you didn't know he got off the island. Unfortunately, the suits at the studios don't rely as much on gut instinct as they used to(cuz they have none) and that's why testing became so commonplace. Sad to see that guys making $750,000 a year are relying on what some 15-year old girl from La Canada has to say about a film. It's the same attitude that says "If SPIDERMAN was a hit, then let's make a comic book movie. How about this DAREDEVIL guy? Anyone know anything about him? No? Well, just try and make it like SPIDERMAN..."
-
Now THAT would suck. That's the flip side of success, it can denigrate into formula. However, so far DD looks like the film Batman should've been, and I'm pretty damn cool with that.
-
Is Ben narrating the trailer in the library? What's with the whispering?
-
Holy shit in a handbag. That fucker's DIESEL!!!Hopefully he hands DD his hairy arse when they scrap it out. To quote an ex-Marine college buddy...he don't look like he CAN'T fight.
-
Seriously. It cracked me up. Yes, the trailers from those two movies were exactly the sort of thing I had in mind. It only succeeds in robbing the non-15 year old viewer of any suspense or intrigue they may have had a chance at feeling. The Cast Away trailer was awesome. After seeing it, I didn't give a damn about anything he did because I knew he was going to get off the island.
Of course you could argue that this IS Hollywood, and they usually (hardly ever, in fact) don't go in for something like killing off the main character somewhere where we can't squeeze some sort of drama out of it, or at least have the main character lie there dying with his head in someone's lap and give a 10 minute soliliqy (sp?) on the meaning of life the universe and everything before he finally kicks it. And then you could argue that if you go to see movies often enough, you are familiar with the more typical Hollywood plot devices and so the trailer isn't showing you anything you couldn't have derived on your own via some intelligent guesses, but still, there is a huge difference between THINKING you know the ending and ending up being right and KNOWING the ending before hand. It any semblance of life right out of the thing, at least it does for me. -
Jennifer Garner was cheaper I suppose, and she can act. But I agree she should have dyed her hair or something, and why ditch the bandanna? Jolene Blalock was also up for the role right? Maybe they thought they would capatalize with Alias fans. Edward Norton and Catherine Zeta Jones would have been perfect. Garner is 29 and CZJ is 33 so she isn't that much younger.
-
Wow, you got me. I guess you're right about CASTAWAY. After all, that 3 hour movie was almost all about him returning home, wasn't it? And even if it was, did the trailer have to show it? You missed the point completely and call me an idiot? Oh, and since they started principal photography before SPIDERMAN came out, then that means once SPIDERMAN was a hit, Fox probably just said "Oh, damn, it's too bad we can't change a thing. Once a movie's shot, that's it!" And if I wanted to see the movie, I'd say so...but it looks like ass to me. I bet you'll enjoy it though. That is, if it's pandering to the lowest common denominator. The audience will get what they deserve and, like you, they'll probably happily eat this shit and say "More, please!" And don't get me started with what 3 people I know who have seen the film have to say. Might make you cry.
-
Anyhow...I appreciate your position and the fact that you're upset that people rip on a movie you are looking forward to. But I just wanted to say that I stick by my position on the Cast Away trailer (and other trailers that give awat the ending). Knowing that he made it off the island sucked a lot of the fun out of that film for me. I may be wrong here, but didn't they strongly hint at the resolution with Helen Hunt's character as well? That scene with her telling him in that sad voice "We all thought you were dead", i.e. "We all went on with our lives". While it doesn't exactly spell it out, it does give away the fact that not only does he get off the island but that there's more than a chance that she's hooked up with some young stallion behind his back, blah blah blah, stuff happens, Tommy is screwed. In any case, I personally never really cared much about the whole Helen/Tom thing. I think a better choice for the trailer would have been to play up the relationship between Helen and Tom before the crash and then NOT tell us that he gets off the island and then the people more interested in the relationship angle and it's resolution could still have their suspense and those of us who cared more about whether or not he gets off the rock can have ours. Does that make sense?
-
Jennifer Garner is maybe on the right spot..but Colin Farrel and Ben Affleck? Hell no. Affleck really dont have that Daredevil in him. Farrel also, he cant be _that_ evil.
What was the casting department thinking? Perhaps.."Ben Affleck = lots of teen girls going just to see him and secure source for making money." And he's voice. He sounds like my answering machine, "no new messages".
Farrel sure can act, I give you that, but do we really want to see him act some super villain. Please NO! Even my four year old cousin would kick he's ass to the moon. Well, must hope for Garner to save the show. -
Parts of it looked almost grade-B or made-for-tv. Looks like they made Schumacher's mistake of trying to make it look like a comic book, instead of trying to make it look real. Makes for a cheesy, campy quality. Not good. Spidey wandered dangerously into this territory, but was saved by the conviction of the actors, and the sheer fun and novelty of seeing Webhead on the big screen. But Affleck doesn't have that sort of conviction, IMO -- he's got a slightly smarmy, jokey "smile" to his voice that just doesn't work, not to mention his tendency to smirk. And not to mention his long head and looks that don't suit the suit. All that aside, I got a kick out of seeing him hugging the cross, ala that classic Miller image.
-
Hire out the TV movie 'Trial of The Incredible Hulk'. It has that cockknocker who used to be in 'StreetHawk' playing DareDevil.I think it even had some big fat dood with a goatee, sunglasses and head phones who was meant to be Kingpin. I say for what we are about to receive, lets be truly thankful...even id Affleck sucks ass..and a whole lotta ass looking at Lopez.
-
This movie rips off Spiderman in only about 100 ways. Does that mean it won't be good? No. It just means it won't be original.
-
I'm going to go watch it, regardless if it looked good or not, because I'm a comic book geek to the end. But the trailer looked fun, so I feel better about February 14 now.

Affleck is a load! The Voice-over sounds terrible. Was that the first time he read it? I agree a Bulked up Guy Pierce and Zeta Jones would have been sheer perfection. Is that a weasel attacking Afflecks head or is that supposed to be his hair? Was that guy who did Storms hair in Xmen working on this flick as well. SHEESH!
-
I love the music to DD trailer,has anyone heard of these guys outside of the Soundtrack?
-
Everyone who's holding on to the hope that Bullseye will get his costume: on the movie website, it mentions that he kills Elektra's father, i would lay good money that his scene with Kingpin is about this, and that "i want a costume" comes just before "the devil is mine". i.e. he's using "costume" as a slang term for "superhero". Sorry folks, besides the movie look beats the comics by a long way.
-
..she's a dead ringer for Miller's original. Michael Clarke Duncan makes a great Kingpin,he was born to play ultra powerful villians. The only weak link is Affleck, but maybe he can pull it off. We'll just have to wait and see.

Ben Affleck is all wrong. I don't care what anyone says.

This Spring...?? I thought Spring started around the end of Marc
by son of batboy
And this movie will be lucky to see March at all. Maybe he was referring to the video release. This has got to be one of the most unintentionally hilarious trailers I've seen in a long time. This flick just might turn into a cult hit like Showgirls or Rocky Horror. It has that kind of potential. From Affleck's ridiculous whisper to his absurd glistening armor-all getup to the young Harry Potter, er...Matt with the walking stick. There are some real howlers in this trailer. "The devil is mine!!!" Priceless. "What do you want!? Justice." And Garner's wooden delivery. "I'll find you." The whole movie has a stitched together look as though it were Frankensteined together from BATMAN, THE CROW, X-MEN, FIFTH ELEMENT(swan dive), SPIDER-MAN. I've been waiting for a good comedy to come along and this just might be it.
-
Thanks for the compliment about my casting choices, too bad its all moot now, with the exception of Lance Henriksen as Stick of course...maybe in the sequel? I also think Rhona Mitra from "The Hollow Man," "Get Carter," and the short lived "Gideon's Crossing" would've made an excellent Elektra- very exotic, I think she is English/Asian Indian.
Jennifer Garner is too damn American Apple Pie...she's from West Virginia for God's sake! Anyhoo, somebody mentioned Iron Man and I think Timothy Dalton is the best choice but the age factor maybe against him, my second choice is another Brit- Jeremy Northam! Excellent as Dean Martin in the TV movie and with a mustache the man is Tony Stark! -
D'OH! Sorry about that- Anyway I hate to encourage more layoffs, but do really need an annoying voiceover explaining things to us in Barry White tones? Personally, I feel that the dialogue and the images cut from the film should be enough to give us an idea about the film itself. Kinda insulting that they think the audience can't figure things out for themselves
-
Besides looking the part, he's old enough to have been in 'Nam.
-
Oneragga, Have you noticed that all marvel films besides Blade have had at least an Oscar nominee in them? Anna Paquin=Oscar, Halle Berry=Oscar, Willem Dafoe=Nominee, Affleck=Oscar, Nicolas Cage?=Oscar, Jennifer Connelly=Oscar. It seems like a running theme. i guess it gives the movies more legitimacy. I didn't like the sanitary look of the trailer. Everything looked just too neat and clean and pre-fabricated. Other than some hair issues and Garners buckteeth This doesn't look so bad. They'll be announcing the cast for the punisher movie soon I hear.
-
but is Electra supposed to be so la de da bubbly? I did not read Daredevil comics, but got the impression that she is supposed to be sort of Bruce Wayne dark, and not so girl next door. Yes? No? I love Alias and it's fun to see Jen kick ass, but she seems really wrong. Maybe she will redeem herself in the action scenes. Mr. Voice and Ben Hoofleck's raspy narration must exit quickly.

It's too bad the trailer plays like a Birds of Prey episode...
by the killer-goat
because I think this Daredevil film could be really good. The Neon lights and sappy catch song at the end don't help. And this trailer shows no Elektra I know from the comic, it says 'brooding gymkata badgirl', not 'cast-iron assassin'. I actually prefer the last trailer, it showed less and that's always better than showing too much of the wrong stuff.
-
OUCH! What a rush-job to cash in on Spidey's $$$! Many pornos have better polish.
Benny A's lame-o whisper-voice sounds as if he is drifting off to slumber during non-erotic phone sex with a lady he is very over.
Sorry, Harry, BULLSEYE'S "costume" remark is in the same mocking vein as the "yellow and blue spandex" snipe in the 1st YECCHX -MEN
movie compromise. I would feel pretty safe to believe this.
I CAN say one positive thing, if this were telecast on the FOX network ,15 years ago, it would have been ok.
MADE FOR TV STINK, MADE FOR TV STINK, MADE FOR TV STINK... -
Yeah, I know it's one man's opinion, but hey. Guy Pearce would have made a great Matt Murdock.
-
Thats not "the worst baldcap ever". Colin Farrell shaved his head as he has done in the past from photos I've seen (and I dont think it was for a role).
Also, doesn't Bullseye at some point in the comics get all broken and then get fixed up with an Adamantium laced skeleton and retunrn as a bigger badass? In that case the "Bullseye death scene" in the trailer doesn't mean the end of Bullseye. -

Stan Lee sues Marvel, then gets his cameo in the movie trailer.

Well, I figure the trailer got put together before Stan filed his lawsuit against Marvel Entertainment Group, but it's pretty funny, isn't it? Stan sues for a bigger cut of the loot, in a clear-cut Creator's Rights case. Wonder why he didn't come to Kirby's aid in the early-to-mid-eighties? Oh, that's right, because he's a hypocrite.

Garner is one of the stronger players in this company, physically and acting chops wise.
If you were going to put someone in the role, I'd go Angelina Jolie, if there was ever a comic character suited for her, it is Elektra, NOT Lara Croft.

Skip the text and click the link which is there plain and simple "Click here for 'trailer 2' for DAREDEVIL! " AFTER that read the text. People should really USE their brains sometimes.

Andy Travis, right or wrong there is a BIG diff between the Lee
by the g-man
Lee's case is not about creators' rights, it is about breach of contract. Marvel and Lee entered into a contract where Marvel explicitly gave him a percentage of the profits from these films and now they are allegedly in breach of the contract. Kirby had no such contract and, in fact, had signed most of, if not all, of his rights away under a contract. Therefore, Lee is no hypocrite.

...Donner's Superman, Reeve may never bettered. Blade 2, Del Toro really pulled the rabbit out the hat with this one, brilliant. Spiderman, Dunst as MJ took a while to grow on me, but the film had heart, thanks to Raimi...
-
This movie started out as a given that it wouldn't top Spider-Man, now it looks like there are a lot of comic book flicks out there it won't top. Personally, I think Spider-Man is a benchmark in cinematic history, as the best and most successful comic book movie ever made, as a movie every filmmaker should watch before they upgrade the printed comic pages. It not only has action, but it has heart and humanity behind every character. Everything about this movie succeeds brilliantly. But Daredevil just looks like another static, sterile and empty-headed comic book movie. I've already seen those kinds of movies, and I thanked God that Spider-Man was anything but one of those movies. I'm sorry, but I am seriously thinking of skipping this. The static comic book adaption was already done to perfection in X-Men, and even that movie had heroes you could relate to. But I just can't see people relating to a blind person with X-ray vision.

yeah, all you pathetic twerps will be cumming in each other's mouths when the new Matrix movies are released. oh yeah DD stinks but have that dreamy Keanu wear some black leather and TB'ers get all hot and wet. throw in a few gimmicky camera shots and its a virtual TB circle jerk with all you scrambling to lick up the last drop. Superman II?? oh yeah, that scene where the rattlesnake got fried with the fake looking lazer vision was historical. and the diner scene, why that was oscar winning. there is NO cheese at all in Superman I and II whis is why they are so great, right? no wonder you pukes you never get laid, what woman wants to give it up to a snot nosed geek who has wet dreams about "bullet-time".
-
I'm a little late on this, but...
That is definitely the best comic book movie trailer I've ever seen (haven't seen HULK yet though) and one of the best trailers I've ever seen PERIOD. If that didn't stir something in you, I don't know what will. The reason Spider-Man & X-Men were so successful is they made you feel real emotion. I think we're going to get plenty of that with this and HULK.

Without a doubt...Christopher Reeve the best casting ever...
by thevision
I'm gonna give Ratner a chance and hopefully he can find an unknown to match Chris Reeve...my bro has the Superman DVD and the kid from Smallville-even if he wore the outfit-doesn't come close to Reeve. Anyhoo, I read in Premiere that Affleck was first choice to play Bullseye and Ed Norton was close to accepting the role of DD but Norton didn't want to wear the costume...soooo the role went to Affleck. Again, I have no problem with BA as DD but the rest of the cast is very iffy.

by kingkarll
.....The Alias chick is not bad casting though. I haven't read DD since '80 or so-but it's fun to get a looksee at these guys now. Now if they can only figger out how to make the DD suit look less Village People...
-
Well, the movie-going public ISN'T talking about this movie and there is NOT name recognition but it is timed to come out and fail or fly on its own merits. The heart of this movie will be its story. NOT BA, not the lovely and talented Garner, not MK Duncan. This will rely on the director's choices/studio mandates and the script. DOES it tell a good story or not? I sure as hell hope so.
-
I cannot believe the length of this talkback, especially for a movie that based on the preview I saw yesterday in the theater looks like ASS! The DD costume is horrible, embarrassing even, and what's with Affleck's fucking fleshy head? The preview also looks a helluva lot like SPIDERMAN. Interesting, considering DAREDEVIL is a knockoff of BATMAN not SPIDEY. Predictable Hollywood shit. This one will be in and out of theaters in record time.
-
Anyone who thinks for a second that Ben Affleck and his huge melon of a head can act--needs to rethink their tastes in actors. Unfortunately this idiot gets to play a cool character like DD--while proven actors who can suprisingly act do not even get the opportunities to get a role like this...other than this looks okay--not anywhere near as good as X2 or the Hulk (with the talent involved I don't see how those two films could not be great. I am just a fan and I am in no means a filmaker like Bad Guy quoted--I am just a fan stating my opinion like an adult without having to resort to name calling other than my remarks about Ben! Crazy Mofo and Bad Guy are 100% right and there opinions are shared with this TBer. Anyone who disagress feel free to respond.

So I guess Bullseye and Kingpin are gonna die? Not much for a franchise and that's the way I like it.

It has definately rekindled my interest in this film...well, I was always going to see it, but now I'm starting to get excited about it.

I stand corrected, Stan Lee isn't a hypocrite, just an asshole.
by andy travis
Yep, Kirby's legal problems weren't the same as Lee's. But, all signed work-for-hire documents aside, I find it sad that Lee is suing for more dough while Kirby never made anything off of Marvel (after he left), considering he was responsible, creatively, for at least half of it's founding super-hero titles and characters. DC, at least, caved in and awarded some money to Simon and Shuster once the media spotlight created by the Superman film shamed them into doing so. In a sideways related note, I wonder if Frank Miller gets a credit in the DD movie? I guess it would be too much to ask if Wally Wood gets a nod for designing the red costume...
-
if he's so tough on comic book movies, then why doesn't he write and direct one? although if it's anything like his comic book writing, it's gonna suck ass! honestly people just because this guy is "one of us" doesn't mean that he's any more qualified to tell stories. bendis is a better writer on daredevil, strazcinski is better on spiderman, and i've been enjoying meltzer on green arrow much more than i did smith. mainly it's the dialogue which is just plain awful. and have you ever noticed that the women in smith's stories talk just like the men. sorry about this diatribe, i just can't take anymore kevin smith worship.
-
I don't have the greatest problem with Ben Affleck but if you want an alternative, I can see Matthew McConaughey in the role...
-
.......justice.......oh man, keaton pulled it off in batman but affleck? ...i cant get over the image of him looping his dialogue, hungover, messed up just outta bed hair , drinking coffee feeling like he's too old to be playing a lame super hero he liked when he was a kid. he's done looping, walks out of the studio lot, gets a call from "j-lo" on his cell she calls him some cutesy bullshit nickname in her whiny cutesy little girl voice and tells him to remember that theres a "Phat" party being put on by russell simmons that they're going to that night. he hangs up and a few seconds later from his lil bro' casey who along with his buddy matt damon are at least TRYING to make the best of the hollywood shitfest, meanwhile affleck gets sucked up into the worst empty hollywood drivel and works with directors like micheal bay(twice!) and gives highscool play interpretations and speeches (sum of all fears=retarded unconvincing nasally "everybody's gonna die" speech----and the one where he nervously and unconvincingly gives a "im abad ass wallstreet mover and shaker here are my keys to the ferrari i drive speech") any "goodwill" i had towards the man with his performances in dazed and confused and goodwill hunting is now gone.

Probably opening weekend.
-
Not only will they go see it opening weekend, but they'll see it twice and say that they wanted to make sure it sucked as much the "second" time as they thought it did the "first" time! Say what you want about Kevin Smith, but the man's portrayal of "internet Fan Boys" in "Jay & Silent Bob" was dead on.
-
As a sidenote, anyone remember DD's original costume? It was yellow and black. You want gay? That was gay! He was a poor man's Batman for quite a few issues before finally coming into his own. By the way, if they can make DD into a movie, how about DEADMAN?

by jak flash 2000
The trailer without a doubt is brilliant. The wait just became unbearable. Especially as UK release dates havent yet been secured. We have a tricky situation here. This film is finally given an impressiv trailer. But not only does it show far too much, but it is too late. This film won't be the success it deserves to be. Daredevil has always been one of the best, yet less known and appreciated comics to have ever been written. Plus with an overdue trailer and a lack of marketing. Thigs are not looking too good. Though I hope that like Spider-Man I will be very wrong. The fact that Harry just told us that this more or less is the Elecktra saga has just pretty much given away the entire film! Thanks for the spoiler warning Harry! I couldnt help think will she wont she regarding Elektra and the same with Bullseye. You just confirmed it Harry whetherunintentionally or not. This isn't fair. A film I am looking forward to now has a climax with no surprises or thrills. Also the Bullseye costume! He meant that sarcasticly, not seriously! You just confirmed what would have been one hell of a surprise Harry. If he does get a costume that is. I don't think he will. We would have at least heard something of it otherwise. You know I didn't look at the Gollum picture so that it coud be a surprise. But Harry be more careful with wha you say darn it! Though Harry is not entirely to blame. The trailer does throw some of these things in our face, so that its hard not to notice. The studios will be the death of this film. They allowed the right direcor and writter for the job. But they havent raised enough public awarenes. And the trailer is too late and shows too much. Though it is brilliant. I hope that I am wrong about many of the things that I have said. Though unfortunatly I doubt it. Harry/studios with great power comes great resposibility. Resposibility not to spoil, slander or just plain ruin a film. Remember that Pete remember that. P.S. I would appreciate it if someone could e-mail me the UK release date of the film. Unsure it its Feb or April? E-mail: akj2@aber.ac.uk

lou albano was supposed to make a guest appearance in this film---possibly as a henchman of Kingpin---but he got snowed in and couldn't come. it got this from a good source.

on the sountrack and benny's orson welles "xerox" impersonation make that trailer a lot worse than it is. and it wouldn't surpise me if farrell steals that film out from under everyone. oh, and i don't buy garner in alibi, consequently i'm finding it even harder to buy her here. she seems to "thin-boned" to be larger than life.

according to the latest Premier magazine...Once the suits saw Spidey, the budget on DD jumped from $65 mil to "under $100 mil" as stated by Mark Steven Johnson in the article. It does also specifically state that things go badly for Electra, as it does in the comic book. At the end of that Article, Johnson even makes reference to that added love scene as a way of showing that Murdock finally acheives happiness, then " everybody dies". Least he's got the balls to go that way. And hey, Raimi was a fan, and underrated, and knocked one out the park. Me? Making sure I'm not on the road for business so I can support the effort to put decent comic book flicks on the screen, starting Feb 14th.

Filmgoer: Don't kill me, man - don't kill me!
DareDevil: I'm not going to kill you. I want you to do me a favor. I want you to tell all your friends about me and watch my movies.
Filmgoer: Who are you?!
DareDevil: I'm Affleck.
-
I enjoyed the trailer, but there's one thing that's buggin' me. The last line is stolen from "Star Trek IV." When Electra is asked by Matt, "How will I find you?" She answers, "I'll find you." The mom in "Seventh Heaven," who stared in Trek IV, delivered the line better.
Michael Clark Duncan IS Kingpin and he's gonna rock!
-
"Gwen Stefani??? isnt she the fat chick with no tits from that Blondie cover band?"
This is why I love talkbacks! I used to dig Stefani until she hagged out.
-
Firstly the two songs used in the second trailer are 'Bodies' by Drowning Pool and 'Bring Me To life' by Evanescence. Secondly the trailer looks great, Affleck is admittedly not the best actor in the world and when he says 'Justice' I did nearly laugh out loud. However I think he will do a great job with DD, I couldn't care less whether Elektra should be greek or not and MCD looks fantastic as Kingpin. Admittedly at first I had reservations but he brings Kingpin to life in the trailer and hopefully the film as well.
This film does not look like it will do as well as previous Comic book films such as Spiderman because Daredevil is a much less well known character, especially outside the US. While Spiderman could bank on the huge worldwide following it has, even among those who don't read comics, Daredevil does not have that luxury. Also I very much doubt that they will kill off Elektra in the film, possibly in the next film if the studio has the balls. Then they will probably resurrect her in the third, hopefully if there is a third.
Lastly those of you complaining about the music are just showing your age. -
"the story that is being told is FRANK MILLER'S ELEKTRA story..."
Story maybe, but not his characters. J.Garner's got the look, the athleticism and I love her in Alias -- but once she opens that mouth...she's just another hollywood chicklet. She is not F.Miller's Elektra by a longshot. Why don't they ever get comic book geeks to do these films? And of course it's opening in those dreaded first months of the year...I hope I eat my words, but this one looks like a stinker.
