-- Hate Daredevil? Go F**k Yourself! (http://www.vcdhq.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=25515)

When I was a wee little lad I learned to read by reading my dads old comics. I remember DD had a yellow and brown costume and not only was Matt Murdock the daredevil he also had anthor alter ego named Mike Murdock Matts twin brother who wasn't blind.

When I got old enough to get a paper route I bought comic books with my money. The daredevil comics I was buying were written by Frank Miller (who wrote the origanal Robocop screenplay) and that was my favorite 3 or 4 year run any comic book ever did.

Batman the movie comes out and it was the greatest comic to movie adaptation ever at that time. The monumnetal succes of that movie gave me hope that so many of the comic characters I had followed would get their chance to make it to the big screen and retell some of the stories that I enjoyed as a child.

My hopes were dashed after I watched the Batman with Robin and Batgirl. Luckily Spiderman was a success in my eyes and I once again prayed for a bright future.

I was excited to hear Daredevil was getting a big screen adaptation even if it was going to be played by Affleck but when I understood the story line they were going to do was the greatest Darwedevil one of all time I said no worries there is no way they could screw it up.

The characters that made it into the movie Electra, Bullseye and Kingpin where all introduced and either died or ended up in jail. All in a matter of an hour and a half. That is the reason I hated the movie. In my life I feel I have read at least 7 or 8 years of the Daredevil comic and to have the Kingpin end up in prison in 90 minutes when in the comics it took close to twenty years for that to happen was disgraceful.

I'm not complaining about plotholes I'm complaining about creative isuse of a comic charater. Now I know Moviegod has read some comics and since 404 sounds like he was pretty filled in on the DD's background I'm going to assume you read them too,
dont the both of you fell dissapointed with the protrayal of Daredevil in this movie?

I'm glad the movie is going to make back what it cost to pjroduce it though. As one of my top 5 comic characters I would be mighty bummed if Matt Murdock turned out to be a flop.
