Daredevil Debate (Moved)

This debate was originally stared in the NEWS - Wimmer Slated to Direct Again... thread and has been given its own page.

In responce to my post

...I thought Rachel Weisz did a very nice feminine (not FEMINIST nor tom-boy) sword play in Mummy Returns. Quite sexy in fact as was the sparring between Daredevil and Elektra. It doesn't all have to be biker chicks who want the White House.

But I guess to each their own...

Gag me with a spoon...Elektra and Daredevil thing was a bunch of B.S. Elektra never played a major part in the Daredevil storyline and the only reason that she was in that movie was to attract a female audience with the "romance" and the "strong female character."

-------- she was in that movie was to attract a female audience -------------

And I'm sure that Ben and Colin had nothing to do with attracting the female audience.

To be honest I only saw the film due to Farrell's involvement. Gardner does nothing for me and I'm sure she does little for most other females out there. But the males.........my bet is that she was there for male eye candy.

Well I haven't even seen DD yet (I don't intend to.. ) but I think that Elektra's character was mainly there for some male eye candy. Let's face it, Daredevil wasn't well founded enough for a movie on it. Bullseye and Kingpin? Come on people, Daredevil is just a Spiderman spinoff.

Ok, I saw both Spiderman and Daredevil and though I have a somewhat dislike for Mr. Ben I actually enjoyed DD more. Why?? because it was dark...very dark...dark and bloody. The opening scene of DD with the blood running down the front of the church was what hooked me first. Nice touch. How it ever got a PG-13 rating by today's standard is beyond me??

I must say. I saw Daredevil and I thought it was good. I even liked a little more than Spiderman. Why? Because Spiderman was geared towards the younger generation and I couldn't relate to it as much as Daredevil.

Plus..come on now Ben Affleck in tights..rawr...Tobey's is cute..but Ben is hot.

I thought it was hilarious that some of u thought Jennifer Garner was in the movie for women...yes we love half-naked beautiful women in all of our movies. No, we much prefer it when the underdog gets the guy - like in Never Been Kissed!

[JenGe]

Now half naked men......

I think we're DONE with this conversation!
