I loved the look and feel of the show. It felt organically gritty. Daredevil's actual costume, once revelaed, wasn't great.B wrote:i see most of plat's points except the look. i thought the look of the show and the yellow/red palette looked great.

Re: Netflix: Daredevil
it's like the look is too good, because every episode just ends up looking the same. it's tedious.

Daredevil won't be in Civil War, might have his own movie eventually

So, I saw this and it just made me think of plat ranting on about the cliche's in Daredevil.

Re: Netflix: Daredevil
To be totally fair, most of those are inherent to the genre. My problems with the show don't really have anything to do with that.B wrote:So, I saw this and it just made me think of plat ranting on about the cliche's in Daredevil.

I thought this show was better than most of the Marvel movies, which I enjoy to varying degrees.

Re: Netflix: Daredevil
Chapters 3 and 4 were really good. I like how kingpin is brought to the story...and there is a really good character there...i actually like that this show seems to take care of all of the characters and not only daredevil or murdock.
and the violence is top notch.

From "watching" this show while my roommates are watching it and I'm making food or whatever, D'Onofrio's Kingpin always sucks me in and I have to see his whole scene. It's great casting and a great performance.
