Go see Daredevil next Friday. I heard it was supposed to be better than Spider-Man (if that's possible)
I doubt that. The casting is awful (Ben Affleck as Matt Murdock/Darevil? Ewwww), and the characters don't look at all like they're supposed to. I'll overlook the obvious Kingpin thing (which I actually don't mind, I think that Micheal Clark Duncan could make a convincing Kingpin) but neither Elektra nor Bullseye look anything like they're supposed to. In fact, from what I've seen it looks like Bullseye is just another cheesy villain (and a biker at that, did Bullseye ever ride a motorcycle in the comics?).
Btw, for those of you who don't know, the plot of DD is based partially on the DD comic storyline where...okay this is a spoiler so...
I don't really have a problem with the casting anymore after hearing that Affleck was a BIG Daredevil fan back when he was a teenager. Michael Clarke Duncan as The Kingpin is FUCKIN COOL! Elektra is HOT, the only thing that I don't like is that her hair isn't black like in the comix, but that's ok with me. Bullseye probably drives anything he can to get to whoever he needs to kill. I like how he doesn't have a mask, but he still has the bullseye on his head. If it's better than X-Men I'll be happy.
Who's gonna buy X-Men 1.5 next week? I'm gonna try to.
I also heard rumors about a Elektra movie.

I just picked up Uncanny X-men #418 and I have a question. What the heck happened to Lorna? I have kept up with the books pretty well except for New X-men, so I was wondering if someone could tell me which book this happened in to her.
Lorna... from what I can last remember wasn't she floating naked in the remains of Genosha while the left over mutants were building a statue of Magneto? I haven't really picked up the last few issues. Damn, I wish I wasn't too lazy to go to the comic shop every month to pick up new issues. I only go by TPB. What happened to her? I must know!
In terms of look I think that Affleck is much more comic likeness of Daredevil than half of the X-Men cast for their characters. The only close one I thought was P. Stewart for Xavier and I still enjoyed it. Ian Mckellen was an awesome Magneto even though he didn't have the muscular(or skinner) physique that comic Magneto had. However, for the sequel it appears they helped the image of the characters. Especially Storm by giving Halle Berry a better wig, one that doesn't look bad.
MCD is an awesome actor and I think he will make a great Kingpin. But isn't he only an inch or two bigger than Affleck himself. I wonder if they will use camera tricks to make him appear larger. At first I thought Bullseye looked silly, it was the Bullseye on his head. Now I have accepted Farrel and from a scence I downloaded with him going against DD he looks pretty good.
Amazing how the topic changed to DD. I'll see it. I don't mind Affleck as DD, the costume looks good, and Affleck has been a fan since he was young, which makes it better, because he knows the character. Elektra will work out fine. So what if they had to change the costume? They did in X-men. I would've rather seen her in the comic costume, true, but that didn't happen. If you pick up Ultimate DD and Elektra, it is a similar outfit. Also, in the Daredevil/Bullseye comic, Bullseye is no longer wearing that costume. As long as Daredevil's costume is practically the same, I'm ok with it. I've gotten over the Kingpin thing, though that is the one thing that bothered me the most, but Duncan is a great actor. Also, Colin Farrel is one of my favorite new actors, I've loved him in American Outlaws and in Minority report. In any case, I guess what happened to Lorna happened in Genosha, if you read Uncanny X-men and get the latest issue, you'll see what I was referring to.
