Daredevil Director's Cut? - Blu-ray Forum

carter155523 · 12-05-2008, 12:40 AM

I tried looking this up here and other places but couldn't find it....but I noticed the running time of the Daredevil Blu-ray Director's Cut was 124min but the running time of the Director's Cut DVD is 133min. Does anybody have any information regarding the two, like major differences or any information in general about the 2 different times? Or is the running time really 133min on the Blu-ray but says 124min? Thanks for your help

The blu-ray is really 2 hours and 13 minutes. The back cover is wrong.

there is already a daredevil thread:
https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=63678

future reference this post shouldve been made in that thread since it was related. no worries since you didn't know and it's good that you at least attempted a search

i tried looking it up and couldn't find anything, either. i assume you are using the times listed on amazon? will let you know if i find anything

I liked the theatrical cut better.

owa · 12-05-2008, 12:55 AM

I thought the Director's cut was a little better but I liked both of them.

Here's a picture I just took showing the time in case you wanted proof that it's 133 minutes.

directors cut

is freaking awesome, fills in so many holes

owa · 12-05-2008, 01:21 AM

Do you know the differences offhand? I was looking for something that mentions the differences in the versions but haven't found anything yet.

Edit: This review discusses some of the differences but it's not a bullet-list type listing that I had hoped to find.

Directors cut flows better are both on the blu-ray?

Michael.Schinke · 12-05-2008, 01:37 AM

The directors cut features a sub-plot involving a murderd hooker and Matt and Foggy's attempt to defend the only suspect found. The love scene between Matt and Elektra is out. The conffessional scenes in the church are gone, and with it is the priests knowledge of Matt's identity as Daredevil. The fight scenes feature more hardcore violence. Lastly, the fight at the end with the Kingpin features, get this, an actual fight!

Meeklo · 12-05-2008, 05:13 AM

The Director's Cut is the only version on Blu. It does add in the murdered hooker storyline that ties more into Kingpin and actually shows more of Matt Murdock as a lawyer. The only part taken out was the Matt and Elektra love scene, everything else is in tact.

I actually liked this movie. I'm not a huge Daredevil fan but I am familier with the character. The only thing I didn't like was Jennifer Gardner as Elektra. Ben Affleck did a great DD IMO.

t0nythebeat · 12-05-2008, 05:17 AM

I love this movie.
The director's cut is 100% a different movie from the theatrical, it's only a few scenes here and there but basically the whole Elektra/Daredevil romance is slim and it focuses on Matt's lawyer dilemmas instead.

I wish both version's were available, as I loved Garner as Elektra.

Blu-Benny · 12-05-2008, 12:22 PM

i liked this movie as well and hope they make a sequel sometime.

Actually didn't think this film was that bad. Plus I haven't seen the director's cut and if that's better I would certainly like to check it out. Unfortunately we can't get it in the UK and apparantly the US version is region locked, so doesn't look like I'll be watching it any time soon

What are you smokin'?

Penitus · 12-05-2008, 02:07 PM

You know what wasn't awesome?

When Matt Murdock and Elektra fight in a playground in the daytime for NO REASON WHATSOEVER WHILE AWFUL NU-METAL PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND.

I'm with Spartan54.
I own the Director's Cut DVD of this, but really this movie is pretty horrible.

What a helpful and insightful answer to someone asking a question. Thanks for pitching in. You'll make Guru in no time.

DavePS3 · 12-05-2008, 02:27 PM

That film could have been so much better. The Bullseye character was too campy, too over the top and while I like Colin's performances over all, this one was just too damn silly. Kingpin was great and not overdone though. Basically, I found Daredevil's character to be a little too light. Too romantic, not determined enough. They need to re-vamp the film character. Bring in someone else to do the role and make it a bit darker IMO.

Adam_ME · 12-05-2008, 02:28 PM

The Director's Cut almost makes it a 3-star movie. The theatrical cut would score a generous 2 out of 4 stars IMO.

There are fewer plotholes in the DC and it has a much darker feel. The problem is the cheesy CGI stuntwork and the lame villains are still around. Plus the extra scenes don't change the fact that most of the roles feel miscast.
