Daredevil was pretty bad. Don't bother seeing it. Well, I suppose it might be worth the $5 to rent it just to say you saw it.

Harada, Keniucho - Silver Samurai
Kane, Garrison - Kane
LeBeau, Remy - Gambit
Lensherr, Eric M. - Magneto
Maddicks, Artie (no nickname, was in Generation X and X-Factor)
Madrox, Jamie - Multiple Man
Mahn, Xi'an Coy - Karma
Maximoff (2) - Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch
McTaggert, Kevin - Proteus
Moonstar, Danielle - Moonstar
Munroe, Orore - Storm
Hank McCoy was interviewed, obviously. Hmm, can't really think of any other *sekrits* in the movie. Didn't catch Jubilee though, where did you see her?
Magneto escaping from his prison gave the opening scene with Nightcrawler a run for its money in terms of pure coolness :)
It was also quite reminiscent of Wolverine getting the adamantine stripped from his bones in the comics.
Well, a lot of the characters have had an "artistic license" taken with them in some form or another. Rogue doesn't have stremendous strength or the ability to fly (probably because they don't want to "waste" time explaining the whole Miss Marvel fiasco). Prof. X was never describe as having the ability to kill every person on the planet merely be concentrating too hard in the comic books... with or without Cerebro's help. Toad secreted a substance from his hands and was also able to control people who touched it. Mystique was never protrayed as having spindly skin. And so on.
I suppose they were just looking for a new character who hated Wolverine and was semi-involved in the Weapon X program. Lady Deathstrike fit the bill but they didn't want a hokey cyborg/assassin with extending arms I suppose. Well, they both... um... have claws... and stuff.
Quote:There are also several hints dropped for hardcore comic readers.

Quote:Another interesting bit is that although this is a PG-13 flick, there's quite a bit of killing done. Wolverine and Magneto especially get to do some mayhem.

Quote:The only problem (again, IMO) with the flick is the villain's henchman. She appears to be a direct rip off of Lady Deathstrike, but is in no way related. I see no reason to have made up a character when one present in the fiction (and relevant in the same context) is available. But maybe that's just me.

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
