Last night I went to Target to pick up apples, banananananas, and various salad-making supplies. While there, I wandered by the DVD section and saw that they had some for only $4.00. Given that I've been on something of a superhero movie kick, and Daredevil was only $4.00, I picked it up. I mean, it's hard to go wrong with a $4.00 movie, right?
It was drastically overpriced.
Most movies inspired by comic books fail because the writers start with a comic-like script. The two media forms are not alike enough for this to really work well. Sometimes you get lucky, most times you don't. However, it's much much worse when the movie wouldn't even make a good comic book.
I have never before seen a movie where people were both over and underacting... sometimes in the same scene. It boggles the mind.
So, for those of you have not seen the movie (and those who have), a brief plot synopsis.
( I watched it so you don't have to )
