Daredevil
Advantages: Good stunts, nice visuals
Disadvantages: Simplistic plot.
...the air. He is a daredevil simply because he has no fear, and therefore jumps amazing distances technically blindfolded. The film was mildly entertaining. The back-story was well done and Ben Affleck played the leading role reasonably well. I in particular liked the sets. Things like the lack of colour in his living quarters really made sense, since as a blind man he wouldn't see the colours. There were a few decent action scenes too, and the effects ...
...really very nice. It also sets things up for the next movie 'Elektra', which to be honest was pretty awful. It had a nice satisfying if not happy ending, and the whole film felt polished, which was nice. Not bad, the sort of thing to watch when it's on on ITV. ...

The Scorpion King
Advantages: Cool action, nice soundtrack, good characters and acting
Disadvantages: Unoriginal story
...Set in around 3000 BC, the scorpion king follows the story of Mathayus, an Akkadian assassin and one of three brothers who are the last of their kind, who is hired to kill a sorcerer who works for an evil king called Memnon and allows him to rule by predicting the outcome of every battle. They find the sorcerer, who is not what they were expecting and is actually a sorceress, but are caught in her tent by Memnon's men. Mathayus's brothers are killed ...
...as well as the aid of a hose thief called Arpid. He then begins a one-man campaign to kill Memnon and avenge his brother's deaths.
MY OPINION
The story was well written, there were a lot of twists in it and it wasn't linear which is always a bonus. For a historian like me, there were too many historical inaccuracies in it for my liking but it is still a film at the end of the day so I guess I'll just have to put up with them. The story flowed well ...

Daredevil, Sexy Superhero Lacks Comic Effect
Advantages: Impressive Cast, Good Outfits and Action Scenes
Disadvantages: Lacklustre Lovestory, Too Few Gadgets
...their leather outfits. The Daredevil story line however isnt great, as it focuses on a kid who is bullied alot (I cant imagine Affleck being bullied) who is blinded when struck by a vat of chemicals on a construction site where his father formerly worked. He naturally develops super powers to go with his blindness and so decides to use this to avenge his fathers death ( a champion boxer who refused to throw a fight). He is met by some powerful figures ...
...both with their own unexplained superpowers. The settings are suitably bold and gloomy such as the evening cityscapes and gothic cathedrals which are also well used for the excellent action sequences. Farrell in particular steals the film as a particularly vicious skinhead hitman with a bad temper and a deadly throwing arm. The love affair between Affleck and Garner is a let down and evokes very little emotion. The main problem is that both suit ...

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen/Daredaveil
Advantages: Intriguing characters and wonderful spcial effects.
Disadvantages: You are left wanting to see more.
I have watched League of Extraordinary Gentlemen many times and have never tired of the intriguing characters and each of their 'special' traights. Or indeed the special effects; especially those of ' The Nautilus', makes me wish I could see it first hand for myself. If, like me, you grew up reading Marvel comics then watching Daredevil will be like re-newing an old friendship. It reminds me of the stories I once read and is also an enjoyable film. ...
