Early reviews for Netflix's "Daredevil"...

...are out of this world. 

 

"Quite simply, in #Daredevil Marvel delivers one of the greatest live-action superhero origin stories ever made."

http://www.forbes.com/sites/markhughes/2015/04/03/review-daredevil-is-one-of-marvels-greatest-achievements/

 

 

Netflix’s @Daredevil is unlike anything Marvel has ever done before..."It’s everything Nolan’s Batman never had time to explore, and everything Arrow wishes it could be."

Daredevil is extraordinarily good...

 

Daredevil might just be one of the most elegant entry points for a superhero in live-action that I've ever seen (and I've seen 'em all)...

 

The fight scenes are all spectacular, with lots of long shots to make sure you can see every hit. There's one in particular in an early episode that is handily the most spectacular fistfight I've seen in any superhero project, and it should satisfy even the most hardened action movie afficionado. You'll know it when you see it, and I expect it's the one that everyone will be talking about in the first hours after the show hits Netflix... 

 

The violence is considerably more graphic than what we've come to expect from Marvel, so prepare yourself...

 

It's beautifully shot (if a bit dark at times), with a look that is far more True Detective than the perpetually sunny Agents of SHIELD. It even feels more cinematic than several of Marvel's theatrical offerings.

Daredevil's owes a great deal to Asian crime cinema's threaded narratives and violent crescendos, turning the show into more of a comic book version of The Departed than a fight-of-the-week drama like ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The easiest comparison to make is The Raid: Redemption both in terms of scope and brutality of the fight scenes...

 

Netflix’s Daredevil is nothing like any of the superhero shows before it. It’s more of a crime drama with a vigilante than anything, and for those reasons it’s refreshing. It’s different, and it’s a bold step in the right direction for Marvel. It’s nothing short of a masterpiece meticulously crafted on every level.

@Marvel could've released the first 2 episodes of @Daredevil in theaters as a movie & had a blockbuster, it's THAT good. #Daredevil

The hype appears to be real.

The hype was real with Agents of Shield too... until we realized fanboys were behind the reviews. I'll wait to make my judgement when I see it but the show appears very promising.

 

The SHIELD hype was based on the Avengers, NOT SHIELD. No one had seen Agents of SHIELD. It was all "Avengers hangover." 

 

REVIEWERS HAVE SEEN THE FIRST TWO TO FIVE EPISODES OF DAREDEVIL.

 

To even compare that to this is moronic.

We’ve seen the first five episodes of Daredevil, out of 13 total, and I can already tell that there will be a lot of people staying up really really late on Friday night, after it appears on Netflix. The series thus far definitely has the feeling of being a roughly 12-hour movie, with each episode sort of standing on its own but also building up a dark, intense ongoing story.

 

And even though I’ve loved a lot of live-action comics adaptations on television lately — especially Arrow — it’s sort of a jolt to see one that’s stripped of a lot of the sentimentality and narrative coziness that still comes with broadcast TV. Not only is the violence a lot more brutal in Daredevil, but the characters are allowed to be slightly more honest and less melodramatic. There are still likable characters, and strong emotions, but it’s a bit less overplayed than on network TV...

 

...The Daredevil series, at least based on the first five installments, is one of the best encapsulations of a lot of superheroic themes that I’ve seen thus far in live-action. It features a deeply flawed hero, whose mission is painfully open-ended and who’s in danger of losing his soul in the fight against people massively more powerful than himself. It’s a must-watch, not just for fans of the comic or of superhero comics, but for anyone who loves great action movies or great heroic narratives.

No one saw Agents of Shield? Clearly you've never been on Superherohype. There were reviews from "test audiences" a week prior to the pilot's release. So please, I wouldn't try to use the word 'moronic' when it comes to the hype machine. It's just like ANY film with special screenings. Hyperbole... hyperbole everywhere.

I mean, it might still end up being great but when statements like "it's so good that the first two episodes could have been released in theaters as a BLOCKBUSTER" are out and about there's a good chance it was fanboy flattery.

 

Since this thread isn't about TEST AUDIENCES, only a moron would care. WHAT DID THE EARLY WRITTEN REVIEWS OF SHIELD AND CRITICS WHO WERE GIVEN EPISODES EARLY SAY?

      I'm used to people crapping on the panthers in public spaces. I used to have to defend Cam fugging Newton until I was blue. I come here to talk Panthers and it is literally the same 5 posters you see in this very thread saying the same things, every single day. it's not about having tough skin, it's the constant negativity by the same people. its boring, its annoying, it clogs discussions. this place has really changed and I regret signing back in. I only have like 5 mins a day to spend consuming panthers content and its always the same posters and same crap. we used to have a 6'6 gunslinging battery ram, and he would constantly get dragged through the mud for not being enough, or doing this or that or not diving on a fumble. at the end of the day, it's a people problem. people love to bitch and complain. they'll never be content, they'll never just sit back and root the team on. we had one of the best teams in the NFL on the ropes to move onto the next round of the playoffs while the stadium was alive and well and that wasn't even enough to just enjoy the show.
