It's OK.

Not great, but, you know, not a total waste of 90 minutes, either.

Two things that bothered me, some:

(SPOILERS, maybe, if you're really a <i>SENSITIVE PUSSY</i> about it, so, avert your eyes and shit, but I'll try not to give away anything major)

a) Don't go bitching to me about how good things never happen in your life when you're the daughter of a billionaire and you are also an amazingly studly deadly martial artist. You make your own luck, bitch.

b) Do you really get to be the BIG BADASS MAFIA DUDE without carrying, oh, say, a snubnose .32 in your pants pocket as, you know, backup?

Also, the priest wasn't obviously pedophilic enough. But I still liked it better than Spider-Man.

How did you...

Where did you see ...

How did this happen!?! What's going on here? Isn't it supposed to be released in a week?

Yep.

I got a press pass.

I have a buddy who works at a local newspaper. And he called me up and said, "hey, want to blow off work for a couple hours this afternoon and go see <i>Daredevil</i>?"

And I said, "What's Daredevil?" Because I am SO NOT A COMIC FANBOY. And for a horrible moment I thought it was something like a ripoff of <i>Jackass</i>, which would have been awful.

And he said, "Marvel Comics? It's got Ben Affleck in it?" And I said, "Oh, yeah, sure, why not? It beats working."

And then I went and watched
http://www.major-damage.com/heroes.html to, you know, get myself in the mood.

And then I went to the movie. And apparently no one at work noticed I was gone.

Adam

In the previews they keep on calling him a damn super hero.

Oh yeah, one other thing:

Rifle bullets are supersonic.

Bruce

He's right, ya know..

Ebert: three stars.
