So the Daredevil movie's a 15. Finally an action movie that's not copping out and suffering cuts to make it a 12A. About bloody time too - getting sick of people bringing their 5 year old sprogs along just so they couldn't be arsed to get a babysitter.

Ha, I remember the good old days when the slightest bit of violence got you a big red 18, like for the original Terminator. A surprise when I saw Jaws being mentioned on Film 2003 and it's a 12 now, when it was an 18 at the cinema(actually I think the old 'X' certificate - I'm sure Ed will tell us).
Then Batman got the first 12 and then it was 'trim' the violence to the lower certificate and get a mass audience
Then old 'Oww the Exocist, it's horrible' went and down came the barriers and you can now have 9 min graphic rape scenes un-cut. Though trimming still goes on - Clones was minus a head-but to get its certificate.
However, no matter how liberal we are now, I'm still baffled how Dog Soldiers wasn't an 18... had the censors had a long lunch break down the pub or something. How violent do you have to be to get an 18 nowadays?

Have to say I'm really looking forward to DAREDEVIL (chech ximoc.co.uk for more opinion).
From what little I've seen it just looks the part. Dark, gritty, violent ooohhhh can't wait.
And I like the costume.
I'll have a full review on ximoc.co.uk just as soon as I've seen the film. Keep watching the skies.
THE HULK on the other hand looks like a pile of pish.

yes daredevil looks great.dark and gritty from the little thats been realeased.costume looks good.
looking forward to this one.
as for hulk it was always slightly a younger target audience though wasnt it, i think it may be more mass appeal .my son wants to see it.
hell if manages to get more kids into comics then thats a great thing.
but upon saying that.,im a huge fan of the director. i will rest judgement until i see the finished result.

We've got the version 2 trailer of the Hulk now and - i dunno. Its cut real quick but there's a lot of him and doesn't feel right.
Sure, he's about 8 feet tall, built right, has the "handsome face" perfected by Gary Frank during the Peter David era and does lots of Hulk stuff (swinging a tank round and round by its barrell then letting it go) but i can't get excited by it.
Maybe the ghost of the tv series is still hanging around?

Interesting to note the responses to Hulk and Daredevil here - going on the calibre of the directors and leads, I'd reckon Hulk would be the better film.
To recap:
Daredevil: Dir. Mark Steven Johnson (Jack Frost, Simon Birch) starring Ben Affleck (The Sum of All Fears, Reindeer Games).
Hulk: Dir. Ang Lee (The Wedding Banquet, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), starring Eric Bana (Chopper)
Time will tell, I guess...

Its one of my favourite stories in all comic-dom so I'll be well unhappy if they screw it up.

but they do tend to stick to the comics to a far greater degree these days. maybe a lesser director with lower? budget may well get his own way more readily. i think dare devil may deliver to us comic fan boys and hulk to the masses.
my son not interested in dare devil but the hulk he cant wait.he is six this month. as i say differnt target groups i feel.

If you like comics, NEVER watch the following:
? The Roger Corman-produced FANTASTIC FOUR (new FF movie to start this year, apparently)
? The pilot for the JUSTICE LEAGUE TV series
? CAPTAIN AMERICA
? PUNISHER (although that's being remade, apparently)
DO watch the following
? MYSTERY MEN (bit rubbish but better than almost everything else)
? THE SPECIALS (you cen get it from Blockbuster, it's basically Pete Milligan's X-STATIX: the movie)

Kid, I was initially looking forward to this movie...but the characters have been changed drastically...Kingpin doesn't look anything like the real kingpin...looks more like that crime boss in Pulp Fiction. The real Kingpin was/is a mountain of man.
Don't even get me started about Bulls-Eye. I grew up reading Frank Miller Daredevil. The original Bulls-Eye was something to behold. The movie Bulls-Eye looks like a street pimp.
There, that feels better.

The story of it's in Titan's THE GREATEST SCI-FI MOVIES NEVER MADE, which I shall paraphrase thus:
When the production company realised they had about two weeks left before the license reverted, they hacked it out in roughly 4 days, giving rise to the immortal comment:
"I don't need it good! I need it by Tuesday!"

Re Bad Superhero movies...
Nothing quite beats that Spiderman and the Eye of the Tiger or whatever it was...
When I saw that at a right flea pit back in the early 80s as a double bill with Cactus Jack there was a problem with the projection after the first film and we had to watch a series of red and orange blobs on the screen for about 40mins until they fixed it... turned out to be better than the film

Loved the Justice League pilot. That's probably due to my affection to the Giffen years that it was inspired by, more than anything else.
Yeah, Daredevil's cossie does look like the one from The Flash, which is actually the pilot for the T.V. series. There are another two Flash films out there, made by splicing two episodes of the series together. 'Nightshade' which is about an old hero coming out of retirement (bit of a Sandman clone) and 'Trickster' which has Mark Hammil as the eponymous villain, playing him more like the Joker than anything else. Worth looking for if you like the fan.

This is true. I suspect that his Joker in the animated series, (he's played the Joker in three different D.C. based cartoons) was inspired by his turn in Flash.
His appearance as 'mysterious white faced grinning villain who we don't name but who shoots Batgirl' was definately inspired by his turn in the Animated Series.
Technically his appearance as a villain in the recent Scooby Doo cartoon about aliens counts as a D.C. villain as Scooby has a D.C. comic.
That makes four by my counting.
And the Cock Knocker is a non D.C. comic villain he's played.

The guy that plays KINGPIN is a pretty bulky boy - he was the big fella in THE GREEN MILE.
And the gut that plays BULLSEYE is Colin Farrell - The Next Big Thing by all accounts. He can act a bit as well.
I'd say don't judge it all on appearances - Michael Keaton made a better BATMAN than George Clooney or Val Kilmer who "looked" the part. (OK, it helped that he had scripts and stuff...)
And who would you rather have as a villain? Arnult in a million dollar suit playing Mister Freeze *looked* spot on. But compare him to a proper villain such as Mister Smith (Hugo Weaving) in The Matrix - no contest.

Even though I've been a huge DD fan since I was knee high I have to admit the films main selling point for me has to be Jennifer Garner in black leather :)
Michael Clarke Duncan is going to make a great Kingpin IMO. I don't particularly like Farrell but I think he could be good as Bullseye and with Affleck at least they got someone who knows the character inside out. I would have preferred Guy Pearce but Affleck looks pretty good in the trailers.

The model in B'ham is still there, not bad going, but it is on a busy intersection and opposite a police station.
The Nick Fury movie is watchable, bog std fare, but Hassellhoff is really okay.
The JLA movie is awful, but the Flash is played well IMHO
I liked the Punisher, it tried to play down a lot of the 'comic' elements and aimed for the action movie audience. I thought it was better than a lot of the action movies that year.
The cap/FF movies are terrible, but you have to watch them to really appreciate them.
Personally, I thought Mystery Men was brill. It isn't serious, and the tone is light. The whole package works a treat.

at the end of the first disc he he wandered off and got a power rangers epsiode to watch instead.

They were part of a whole batch of dodgy American tv shows that had episodes transfered to 35mm and spliced together for release in european cinema's. A v. bad idea, up there with film versions of UK tv shows - i mean, TWO On The Buses films???

Space bats! One of the best Flaming Carrots- when the Man inthe Moon comes down to earth to get rowdy and ruffhouse it...
On the subject of Spidey and Power Rangers there was a Japanes version of Spiderman with apparently tonnes more fighting (as you'd expect) and costumed super villains. Ive only ever seen some snaps of it though. Anyone know aymore?..

Jampot: If it is that embarrasing, why tell us about it?
Sing it loud, I'm a geek and proud!
Rotts once appeared on local BBC morning show in a piece about Crisis, and gt to spend the morning with John Smith. I Looked like a pillock, 'cause I didn't know he was overprovided in the gloves dept.

Saw Film 2003 last night. They had some clips of the film and it did look decidedly cheesy.
HOWEVER, Jonathon Ross (a big comic fan), seemed to love it and gave it the big thumbs up, so I will suspend my doubts and try to see a preview showing tmrw night...
He had a nice Elektra figure on his desk as well btw.
