Likes : Could i honest say this is a perfect series, sadly no because it has a few flaws, but its ok in place but not something i find myself hook on, dosent really have the edge that CW Arrow has in pace & action but im going to give it a fair review but im not jumping on the marvel band wagon like most of the review are from.
The one thing this series had going for was the dark gritty concept but its not enough to make this a series anything to be hype about ya there are moments this series looks to be OK,
Charlie Cox dose a pretty good job with the performance as Matt Murdock so there are praises there for the series, some of the other acting is ok,
Vincent D'Onofrio as the king pin is ok but dosent really come off
as Wilson Fisk the voice seem a little force at time but the acting is ok. i wasn't impressed with the first episode so i decide to watch the whole of season 1 to see if the show could redeem itself........ and I have to say the show sadly doesn't get any better than the first episode but some episode are better than other but still not a series worth the rating 9 out of 10.
Dislikes : The one thing ive noticed with daredevil is the length of the episodes, 1 hour long episode for its pacing is to much time for a slow pace series, i found myself getting bored of watching it wasn't actual grabbing my attention because i found my self doing other things normal a series im in to grabs my attention im glued to the screen sadly with this series i just could sit a watch this because every episode is the same pace i feel these episode are better off being 30 - 40 min long.
The lack variety in the series is poor, every episode feels the same dam thing that to me is boring not very exciting, i found this to be a very over rated series not worth the 9 out of 10. I'm not saying this because im not a fan of marvel im saying this as a film review because this series could have so much more potential but sadly fall short of that.
The other problem is the portrayal of the daredevil in this series, he suppose to be a superhuman with heighten sense which would mean he would be faster at reacting & win every fight without taken to much damage, yet this daredevil doesn't feel like daredevil because he gets he's ass kick to many time every time he gets in to a fight the concept of heighten sense complete goes out the window here this is weak writing for the character that's suppose to be a superhero.
Overall : Overrated series that's not worth the 9 out of 10, Episode are slow, only a few episode are good.
Rating: 4 out of
5 for entertainment
/ 5.7 out of
10 for concept
/ superhero theme.
