We watched this with Kaile and Stacy. It was highly entertaining. Not the movie so much, but watching it with Kaile and Stacy. We talked through most of the movie making fun of it in the process. This improved the movie greatly. I don’t know if I would recommend this movie if you are not watching it with Kaile and Stacy.
It was way too serious. I kept saying that Daredevil needed to crack some jokes here and there, like Buffy, because Aflac was just dumb. He kept looking like he wanted to smile but would remember that he couldn’t. He wasn’t the right actor for the movie, or he could have been if the character wasn’t such a tightwad. The kid actor that played him when he was little did a better job.
Elektra was cool. Kingpin was okay. Bullseye was extremely dorky.
Whoever did the soundtrack for the movie needs to be shot. Not so much the music, even though it was uhhhh…not great, but the way it was introduced. Going from quiet to blaring rock music is quite jarring. Looking over rooftops doesn’t really warrant music being that sudden and loud. It just didn’t fit. Only two songs actually worked with the scenes. That Evanescence song when Elektra was stabbing the sandbags (nice drawing skills on her part) fit nicely. Also, the N.E.R.D. song to introduce Kingpin worked. Everything else didn’t.
Oh, and what’s up with Elektra’s last name sounding like Nachos? We could not get beyond that. Nachos!
