The general opinion of this movie is that it's awful. Is it great? No, it's not. But is it awful? No it's not that either. I consider it worse than both the Spider-Man and X-Men adaptations but better than The Hulk and last two Batman movies.

We'll start with the actors. Ben Affleck, not the greatest choice for the role but not the worst either. Ben's Daredevil comes off as uncomfortable but he hits the nail on the head close enough that it's not ruined. Jennifer Garner's Elektra is not bad either, I love her in Alias but as Elektra I think she took her own perspective more than she should have, and Elektra doesn't come out close enough to the comic book version. Colin's Bullseye in my opinion was the best portrayal in the entire film. I was quite pleased with it.

The biggest fault of this movie is the story. Instead of an actual plot it comes off as more like "A couple of weeks in the life of Daredevil". They concentrated too hard on trying to get all the key characters introduced that they neglected the story.

After having seen recently Spider-Man 2 it made me think that if as much effort and time that was put in to the Spider-Man movies or even X-Men movies was put into Daredevil, we might have gotten a much better movie. But we can't really blame the studios. You can't market Daredevil like you can Spider-Man or X-Men. Daredevil is a dark story, the comic book is dark. There are a lot of depressing storylines. There aren't nearly as many cute one-liners or warm fuzzy endings as you would find in Spider-Man. Ten year olds aren't going to get into Daredevil. If the studio, writers and everyone else involved would have just scratched the idea of even trying to market towards children completely then they probably would of had a better story as well.

In the end, I think Daredevil is worth the watch. It's not gold but it leaves it's mark.

Don't be fooled by the title. While back in the golden ages this soap may have been centered around a hospital but now it's main focus really centers around the mob. I can't say that I know it was better years ago because GH had been on many years before I was born. The storylines of today are really lacking. Golden couple Luke and Laura aren't on the screen and we are forced fed pathetic excuses of chemistry such as the Jason and Courtney storyline.

Like most soaps General Hospital gets caught up trying to make a steamy romance build up for May to try to gain teenage viewers. This means that we usually get some 19 to 20 something airhead with a past blow into town and start what the writer's think is a romance with a favored regular. I am a teenager and I can tell you now that I could care less how old some of the cast members are, I want to see real romance! Although I may not have been around to see some of the blossomings of past couples that doesn't mean I don't care!

The one good actress that GH has is Robin Christopher who has played Skye Chandler on three daytime soaps and very well!

General Hospital was once the most graced and respected shows on daytime TV but like most all other soaps bad writing has lost a lot of loyale viewers and failed to gain new ones. If you're already a soap watcher then it may be worth your time to try it but if not then there isn't much for you.
