Holy fucking Moses, what an improvement that was. How the hell could that not have been the version that showed in theaters? Seriously.

Now I'm genuinely upset that'll we'll never see a sequel.

I liked the Director's Cut a HELL of a lot better than the original. I have neither clairvoyance nor a job at 20th Century Fox, so what I say is pure conjecture, but I got the impression - even before I knew there was going to be a Director's Cut, just from watching the movie - that Johnson was under the delusion that he was going to be allowed to make a 2 1/2 hour, R-rated movie. So when the studio came in and cut the thing down to 90 minutes, it was a stupid, disjointed mess. The DC isn't perfect - not by a long shot - but it was a lot better.

This version of the film gives a lot more to the characters and makes even more sense than what we see in the Theatrical Version. It also keeps in tone with how lonely Matt Murdock's life is, since he doesn't get to sleep with Elektra. Definately one of Affleck, Gardner, Clarke Duncan and Ferrall's best performance.

Well Elektra, as terrible as it is, is considered a sequel and there is still The Avengers movie, which may feature Daredevil, so maybe Ben Affleck can reprise the role there.
