Daredevil: Directors Cut
There was like only one movie out there, that i knew of, that actually had a directors cut version that made it massively different. That movie was Kingdom of Heaven, which really becomes quite the amazing film in that version.
Every other version out there, many directors cuts, many unrateds etc, end up amounting to the same shit overall, never being different enough. I've heard through the years how this was not the case with Daredevil, but i never bought into it. Well, i finally gave it a chance, and damn, this version is much much better than the original, much bigger too, it has quite a ton of new stuff, it really fleshes out the character, and doesn't focus so much on the relationship with electra.
This is just another one of those examples of why Fox is the worst movie company in the world, and just like it was the case with Kingdom of Heaven, this is the version that should've been released in cinemas, and maybe it would've had a shot at being recognized as a great 1st effort with the character. Mark Steven Johnson is no prodigy, and the movie weakest links all trace back to the director, that didn't know how to orchestrate an action sequence, and didn't have the greatest eye for visual artistry, but overall, it becomes a really solid and enjoyable movie. Shit, i think this version would've gotten a chance at a sequel.
Definitely recommend it to anyone with a passing interest in the genre, and in the character, even if you didn't like the 90 min Fox butchered version.
