Right. Here's the thing. After having forcibly restrained myself from going to one of the 00:01 showings on 23rd April, I'm now going after work. Would there be strenuous objections to my coming on when I get back and posting - Spoiler Free - comments?
My main response will be coming in a day or so, while I assemble my thoughts on the matter in a coherent manner. But I would like to refine my statement a little: Most - with one or two exceptions -of their output sucks.. etc etc.
But my first response would be to hold up Constantine and Green Lantern as first examples.
And my second is that Reeves' Superman and Keaton's Batman are my favourite renditions of the characters.
"Chewie, we're home."
<Happy, nostalgic sigh> Abrams and Hollywood, I'm putting you on notice. if you screw this up, I'm going to come over there and burn Hollywood to the ground. TO!! THE!!! FUCKING!!!! GROUND!!!!!!
So now its over and most of the world seems to have watched it...
How long do you think before the 'y'know, thinking about it, Daredevil really wasn't all that great.' posts start?
Sat down and watched the first four eps. I was getting really worried about halfway through episode 1; its had started really well, but then slowed down with lots of blah blah blah. I was bored. But I stuck. And was rewarded with the next three episodes.
Standout moments so far? The fight scene at the end of episode 2 and the end of episode 4.
