David McK (3562 KP) rated Daredevil (2003) in Movies
Dec 6, 2024
pre-MCU much-derided superhero movie, with a pre-Batfleck Ben Affleck miscast as the titular (and blind) Daredevil, vigilante by night and lawyer by day, alongside an equally miscast Jennifer Garner as Elextra Nachios.
Colin Farrell, however, chews the scenery as Bullseye whilst Michael Clarke Duncan does make an imposing Kingpin, and some of the fight scenes (particularly in the directors cut) are effectively brutal - talking of which, if you must, the Directors Cut is the one to watch - whilst a pre-MCU Jon Favreau again effectively plays the sidekick ('Foggy' Nelson instead of - in the MCU - 'Happy' Hogan).
Charlie Cox, however, is a much better fit for the role and, indeed, stars in a much better series than this movie is.

Wow. Is there any better example of cinematic perfection? I absolutely adore this film. The Winter Soldier is my favorite MCU movie. It took the character of Captain America and it elevated him to a level far beyond what he was before. This movie is a beautiful masterpiece. I have high praise for it. The Russo brothers took the character and treated him so well. It proved just how capable they were of handling such an important character to the MCU!

Captain America: The First Avenger where I was finally sold on the concept of the Avengers in the MCU (I am not a RDJ/Tony fan). I love period films, so I was all for it. The characterization of Steve Rogers was spot on. Hugo Weaving was good as Red Skull, and I'm sad that the character won't be brought back ever. Hayley Atwell as Peggy is one of my favorite characters out of the whole MCU, and her intro in this movie was great.

Disclaimer: All of the movies in Phase 2 of the MCU are nearly the same. Winter Soldier's just my favorite out of all of them.
One: I like Anthony Mackie as Falcon, he's a great addition to the MCU. Two: Scarlett Johansson was the perfect partner in this edition. I wasn't thrilled when they 'killed' Bucky off in The First Avenger, so I was all for Bucky returning as the Winter Soldier. It's a tightly paced film, and it's a good Captain America film.
