I just saw ya'lls reply to my "daredevil" message last nite, so here's my reply...
Steve,
"First, you didn't think it was retarded that a blind man and a perfect stranger did a little dance routine in the park, jumped 20 feet in the air and landed on some see saws? That didn't seem a little awful?"
not any stranger than Godzilla destroying tokyo or king kong climbing the empire state building...sometimes you just have to have faith, (hehehe i just quoted daredevil) and suspend disbelief to enjoy a movie!
"The shit where they were bounding up the fucking pipes in the Cathedral didn't look blatantly fucking stupid to you?"
I'm a fan of all woo ping's wire work...you should see shaolin drunkards!
"The fact that as a 12 year old with no training Matt was able to do backflip kicks."
Again, its a comic book story and you have to suspend disbelief and accept the convenient coincidences...like radiation mutating you instead of making your hair fall out and causing a slow painful death, or when a mutant spider bites you, you actually turn into a spider-MAN!
"This was a C movie at best."
as far as movies in general go, YES, but for a big-budget comic adaptation, i give it an A!
"A few years ago it would have been heads above, but since every other comic book movie has been at least a grade better over the last 2 years... well, I just can't reccomend it without a huge asterisk."
Like what? spiderman? that movie sucked ass, this was way better...X-Men set the bar high but even IT had its moments, like Storm's really cheesy one-liners!
"By the way, the only good moment for MC Duncan's Kingpin was the one human moment he had, "Business, it's always business."It was the only non-cheesed out line that he had."
that was the one thing i DIDNT like about kingpin...thought he should have been a little more of a bad guy and his fight with DD shouldve been longer, he went out like a bitch!
"It was super cheesy. It was great if you're into the Joel Schumacher Batman titles though. "
Yes, but arent comic books supposed to be a little cheesy, like when DD says "bullseye" after killing bullseye, thats classic, i mean I didnt see it coming!
Bchrist, FUCK YOU! i work fulltime, go to school and wrestle on the weekends....cant always be first in line to see new movies jackass, dont ever talk to me again pansy!
