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


ThinkAboutIt

Recommended Posts

...are out of this world. 

 

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

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?

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
