No, the stink of the Affleck movie is too much for me to even give it a shot.

Haven't watched it yet but the trailers looked awesome. I'm a big fan of Daredevil but I'm in the same boat of hating the Affleck movie.

So far, its much better. The fight scenes are well choreographed and the acting is pretty darn good.

2 episodes in - holy ****!

The fight scenes are spectacular. The fight scene to end episode 2 was probably one of the best choreographed fights I've watched - very reminiscent of the hammer scene from Old Boy (the original). I'm not thrilled with the guy actor who was in The Mighty Ducks, but everyone else seems pretty good. I was really surprised how well they kind of dropped this story to fit with the MCU - it actually kind of makes sense!

So far it's living up to the hype. I highly recommend watching.

agreed. Great camera work. It was all done in one continuous shot. Visually, very cool.

Forget about what Ben Affleck brought to the role. This is the MCU version, with some confirmation of its links to Agents of Shield. Heck, it wouldn't be surprising to see a little bit of a nod in next year's Captain America film.

I told ya! ;)


the hall fight scene was great. The thing I like, is he doesn't appear an invincible hero. He struggles and gets shattered. A street level hero.

10 bucks says the reason they choreographed it that way was so they could switch out the stunt double with the actor without a cut. Stunt double falls through the door. Main actor comes out. That way, he is there to end the scene.
