Daredevil


For some reason, Daredevil himself reminds me of Batman, from his fighting style, to his mask, to his stick that he uses to travel around.  Anyway, I felt that the film was an over-exaggeration of pretty much everything.  The fighting was very stylized, to the point where it doesn't look too realistic or possible.  I felt that after the introduction (which was pretty good), it failed to engage the viewer into the story (which is pretty simplistic), and the villains felt pushed into the background.  There wasn't a focus on the villains Bullseye and Kingpin, it would do wonders to the film is they were given more backstory or at least better rationalizations to their motives other than that one is a mercenary and the other is doing 'business'.  It was kinda disappointing in that there wasn't much character development (at least, less than expected), and the characters were fairly bland and uninspired.  It's not a terrible movie, but it feels very average.
