I apologize for the updating frequency. School right now is not horrible, just busy. Had a Korean War paper due this morning, and busted it out last night. Last night I also saw "The Daredevil Man" movie. It was good, I have to say. I only had a few problems with it, and they seem to be out-weighed by the good. Don't worry, there are no spoilers here (i don't think people care anyway). Pro's: The way they decided to simulate what Murdock "sees" from his increased hearing. Theres not a good way to explain this, you just have to see it, its badass. I also liked, as Nick pointed out that they made DD a 'darker' character than some of the other comic book movie characters (spider-man, even batman. batman movies are dark, but they don't portray Bruce Wayne as dark). Also, there was a little boy who played the young DD and, for a little kid, he was really, really good. Producers usually completely ruin a movie by casting some stupid little annoying kid as a "young someone" (note: Star Wars Ep I) who just turns out to be an annoying little turd. This hid was good and was actually entertaining to watch. Colin Farrell did an amazing job as Bullseye, and Favreau was awesome as foggy and Kevin Smith's cameo was classic. Cons: There were three fight scenes that ended in the exact same position. Person one stood over person 2 with a sharp pointy object, ready to stab, but for one reason or another, did not start in with the stabbing action. This kinda made me mad. It happened 3 times within 20 mins. whatever. Second, I thought that computer animators were able to get down physics pretty well? Not in this movie. I understand that DD can jump far and stuff, but when he would flip around to get up something, gravity seemed to be pulling in multiple directions. i didn't like it. it was reminiscent of when obi wan flips down after hanging onto that cable in the rainy planet in episode II. not good. Lastly, producers/directors need to realize that some things just will look plain bad in digital animation. Namely, in daredevil: a single drop of blood falling down to where the camera is on the ground looking up, and also I think it is obvious that it would be tough to digitally animate a rose falling from a roof and bouncing off the cement below. Ya, they didn't pull it off., but it was a very good movie. Comments were down for a while, but i believe they are back up.
