Ok, comic book fans, who has seen this? I heard it sucks more than Catwomen but wanted to get an opinion of someone who actually enjoys these types of movies.

Jennifer Garner in that red suit can't possibly be bad... Then again, neither can Halle Berry in that catwoman outfit...

This crazy group of goofy ninja bastards called the Hand bring her back to life.

If you saw Daredevil, do you remember at the end when Matt Murdock finds that necklace hanging? That's the clue that she's alive again.

I'm going to see this tomorrow night. It's got the Fantastic Four trailer with it, so that might be neat to see.

Jennifer Garner and Halle Berry are hot. No denying that. But I won't be seeing this movie. Just as I didn't see Catwoman, Daredevil, or Hellboy.

I can predict this will be even worse than Daredevil, which is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

i thought daredevil was very good, alot better than folks gave it credit for.

my two biggest beefs with the movie where the playground scene and the fact that michael clark duncan was the kingpin, but other than that, i thought the story itself was amazing how it was told in flashback, the fact that he had to take alot of drugs to take care of his pains etc...

i liked daredevil. one of the coolest moves i have ever seen was when ben affleck slid between micheal clarke legs and kicked him in the knees.

Clarke Duncan was a perfect choice for Kingpin. Who'd you have in mind?

And the director's cut is better, btw.

i just dont like the whole idea of drastically changing the look of a character (costumes i understand) but last i checked, kingpin was over 400lbs and ummmm had less melatonin in his skin

I didn't think it was that bad. There are a few moments that are a bit over the top, but hell, it's a comic book movie. Some pretty cool fight scenes.

(I also didn't think daredevil was all that bad.)

Exactly. Kingpin is supposed to be a gigantic white man. Changing his race has a definite effect on everything. What if Daredevil had been played by Wesley Snipes?

Yeah, I'm with you. The only comic book movies I've ever liked are The Crow, X-Men, Superman...and Hulk was okay.
