Daredevil (2003) Online-Streaming-

It gets real old real fast.. Please, Hollywood, if there's to be another Airbender movie, hand the job to some efficient hack, and not to a once mesmerizing artist who's lost his way.. The current national priorities should be as follows: reduce carbon emissions and stop funding the films of M. Night Shyamalan.. The Last Airbender is like a Care Bears movie that got waylaid in the fourth dimension. It's insufferably silly.. The Last Airbender is one of the most visually luscious and exhilarating...

It is cool. But all this "change the way you look at films" hype is just that. While Avatar is impressively seamless, you're never fooled. This doesn't look like a documentary film; it looks like a video game.. I had the feeling coming out of this movie that I haven't felt since maybe I was eleven years old in 1977 and I saw Star Wars for the first time.. Pandora is still a good place to park yourself for three hours.. Everyone recites their lines, awkwardly laying out exposition, speaking their...

You don't expect realism from a comic-book movie, but you do want the characters to seem larger than life. Here, they look like contestants at a costume party.. Fantastic it ain't, but not bad it sort of is.. [The writers are] so busy setting up the premise that they barely get around to exploiting it.. A wildly uneven, sporadically slapdash action-adventure that amuses in fits and starts.. A popcorn popper, a cinematic sugar buzz. And blessedly so.. A funky, fun film version of the famous Marve...
