Went and saw the #1 Box Office movie, The Dare­devil, over the week­end and must say that it wasn’t half bad. While I didn’t enjoy it as much as Spider-man or XMen — it did man­age to hold my inter­est and keep me enter­tained for the bet­ter half of the 2-hour movie.

I sup­pose the only com­plaint I can muster in my head is the lack of dia­logue and incon­sis­ten­cies in the script. Although, like I always say, if you want enter­tain­ment see a movie. You want real­ism? Watch the Dis­cov­ery Channel.

Mainly, I went into the movie know­ing noth­ing (nada, zip, zilch, naw-naw) about the sto­ry­line of Dare­devil. The most impres­sive aspect of this char­ac­ter is his dis­abil­ity and how it fights to over­come it. It doesn’t hurt that his senses are extremely over­bear­ing and ‘mag­i­cally’ in tune with the world. He may not be able to see but he really can kick your $#@!% for a hand­i­capped guy.

It was good. Not the cream of the crop but cer­tainly enjoy­able and enter­tain­ing. Kudos to the hyper­ac­tive sen­sory effect. Very, very cool looking.
