Daredevil (2003)
7/10
Director's Cut definitely worth a look
22 March 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Especially if you've already seen the theatrical release, the director's cut adds so much more to the story and the other character's of the film, and even fills in some of the holes in the plot of the original version (holes which, by the way, were big enough to drive a Hummer through them.) While a few well-liked scenes were taken out to make room for over 35 additional minutes of original footage - scenes such as the love-making clip with Affleck and Garner - trust me when I say that those missing or re-edited bits actually help the story to make more sense.

And while those who aren't fans of the Daredevil comic or theatrical release probably won't care if the story makes more sense (which is all too unfortunate for them,) the fans will appreciate it.

Now, while I'm not saying the director's cut should replace the original version, I am saying that I certainly enjoyed it. Hell, I own it. And I can say without a doubt that I like the director's cut more than the original.

As with any of the other comments that I've written for other films, I know I haven't revealed much about the film itself. That's because I am a big believer in the notion that you should see a film for yourself, and form your own opinion. Except for "Torque". Nobody should see that film - unless it's being used as a torture device.
