So it was all sizzle and no steak??
So if this is the 70s, would he have fought the Purple Man, with his actually just being a guy in a purple pimp suit?"There's not much of a difference between a stadium full of cheering fans and an angry crowd screaming abuse at you. They're both just making a lot of noise. How you take it is up to you. Convince yourself they're cheering for you. You do that, and some day, they will. And that's how Sue Cs it."- Sue Sylvester, "Glee"

Looks terrible.
I know it is the ADHD world we live in, but what's the plot?
"Daredevil... the man without fear" is not just fear of excessive violence. It is fear of reprisal to perform justice. This means stigma to be branded a vigilante when he's dedicated to the law.
I don't get that from this. Just a bunch of violence stuck in the 70s.

It just looks like he's targeting people who aren't bothering him ;l

Yeesh. No wonder FOX passed. I've seen better student films than that.

FOX didn't pass, they hired the guy. This was his pitch, the thing he presented to FOX in an effort to get the job. He subsequently got the job and likely would've kept the job if the entire thing wasn't falling apart from the top down. Originally Posted by Rollo Tomassi

Hate to burst your bubble but fox past on it because they don't have enough time to produce it before the rights revert back to marvel. Oh and a sizzle reel is just something a director puts together to give the studio an idea of what the visual aesthetic of the movie is not present the plot. Originally Posted by Rollo Tomassi

Also the plot comes from the scriptwriter. I guess some people here don't know what a director is.

A month is not nearly enough time to get from where they are to where they need to be. Originally Posted by DebkoX

To start production. That's a ridiculously short amount of time for all of the elements to come together. Originally Posted by DebkoX
