'Daredevil' Series Review

June 30, 2015 Marc Aces
Daredevil

Marvel Studios has always been a mixed bag for me.  When they’re able to be very true to their characters and make the plot hit the beats of the big storylines, we can get a Guardians of The Galaxy or Winter Soldier out of them.  Or, we can get a convoluted bag of half thought-out ideas with numerous plot holes, but they’re so visually interesting on screen we try not to think about it (aka Avengers: Age Of Ultron).  When Marvel is able to make me believe all of these things share a continuity, it’s when I get most invested in theses movies of theirs.  But one thing that is easily found in the source material that I don’t see in the movies are the normal people, the neighborhoods, and the rest of the world.

It’s sort of fun, but undeniably flawed - the film has an intriguing time-travel premise that it commits to for over half the movie’s run time before just flat out giving up on it. You get the sense that trying to maintain the twisting timeline was just too exhausting, and the creative team of Platinum Dunes (Michael Bay’s company) pretty much assumed its core audience that showed wouldn’t sweat the details and just decided, "lets show more concert footage of these kids partying". Almanac basically pretends to be intelligent long enough to get my hopes up, then reveals its true colors as a superficial, silly genre rip-off aimed at teens...
