Dirk Deppey reviews Daredevil. Sounds like it'll be worth catching on TNT in a couple of years.
Speaking of crappy comics-based movies, check out the trailer for public-domain nightmare The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Or, as the voiceover dude growls, "El! Ex! Gee!" In some ways it looks
like it'll be faithful to the Alan Moore/Kev O'Neill comic -- Captain
Nemo as a Sikh rather than somebody who looks like James Mason -- and
in other ways, maybe not so faithful -- Captain Nemo spinning in the
air sideways like Jackie Chan on a crack binge. Plus, a longhaired
adult Tom Sawyer speeding through the streets of London in some sort of
Victorian convertible, shooting at guys with both hands; a CGI Hyde
that should have Ang Lee chuckling with relief; a full-on vampiric Mina
Harker; a bulletproof Dorian Gray... Uzis, wire-fu, etc. Looks like a
derivative, trend-whoring abomination. OMG, LXG is gonna be a POS! I
guess they figured that since the comic itself takes such liberties
with the original characters, they might as well go all-out and turn
the whole thing into yet another Matrix ripoff.
But I'm so there anyway, because I'm a fanboy nerd and Alan Moore deserves every penny he's getting from this for his decades of service.
