The reviews are coming out ahead of the April 10 release date for this… and they’re good!

Screencrush says: Netflix’s Daredevil Is Unlike Anything Marvel Has Ever Done Before

Daredevil
was well-worth the wait, and breaks the Marvel movie mold with bone-crunching delight. It’s everything Nolan’s
Batman
never had time to explore, everything
Arrow
wants to be without network boundaries, and exactly the street-level drama Marvel needs to complete its superhero world.

Here Comes Superhero Hype’s Review Of Marvel’s Daredevil

I cannot applaud “Marvel’s Daredevil” enough. From its succinct telling of the origin, to the dynamic character drama, to the stellar fluid action, and the underlying through narrative, the show is another home run for Marvel. Drew Goddard’s script for the first two episodes is flawlessly put together with the same melding of reverence and new flavors that make the other Marvel products work. Executive Producer Steven DeKnight has developed a world within the Marvel Universe that is both unique and lived-in but also now integral to the scope of the MCU. If the rest of the Netflix shows are done with the same amount of heart, guts, and edge that “Marvel’s Daredevil” has, then there is nothing at all to worry about.

Variety’s review

Compared to Marvel’s experience with “Agents of SHIELD” for ABC, operating in Netflix’s pay-to-view world is clearly liberating, in much the way animated direct-to-DVD titles enable the comics companies to cater to knowledgeable fans without needing to worry too much about luring the uninitiated into the tent. And the binge prospect should be helpful in getting people hooked on the overarching adventure, complete with Russian mobsters and feuding crime factions building toward the inevitable Daredevil-Kingpin showdown.
By that measure, Marvel has shrewdly expanded its portfolio, and Netflix has upped its must-have quotient with a fiercely loyal segment of consumers. Viewed that way, costume or no costume, “Daredevil” looks dressed for success.

Even atop stuntwork on par with Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Big sigh of relief. This was the one I was more worried about than anything, I’m a huge fan of the book. Now to sit back, and let this wash all over me. All up in me.

One early sequence may yet rival
True Detective
for sheer choreography across a single take, all with nary a digital effect to be seen.

That single take shot from True Detective was one of my favorite pieces of television last year, so I’m hoping this is true. I’m also pleased to hear that they’ve come up with a reason as to why Hell’s Kitchen is plagued with crime, as I know a few articles have gone into depth about how that setting is a much different place nowadays.

[freeman]

Yeah apparently it’s the trendy, nice neighborhood these days which is funny.

Shameless has been showing us the evils of that particular social phenomenon this year.

WAIT WHAT? CREATIVE USAGE OF FILM FORM IN A MARVEL PRODUCT?!!

Huh, now I’m really interested in seeing what this ends up being.

I really hope that isnt hyperbole because that whole sequences was jaw dropping.

[lloyd_dobler]

I am officially psyched for this now.

I’ve always really liked Daredevil, it was one of the comics I read consistently as a kid and I even liked the 2003 MSJ/Affleck version (directors cut especially). There is just something about the masochistic nature of Matt Murdock, bruised and broken but driven, that has always stuck out for me.

Its beyond that. Hell’s Kitchen sale prices average $3.5M, while rental prices for a two-bedroom apt. are in the $3,500/month range.

The entire borough of Manhattan has now become the unattainable.

[Schwartz2]

AI’m kind of hoping that they work it in that the kingpin was behind some nefarious scheme to drive the old residents (ie Murdock’s people) out of the neighborhood after he’d bribed/blackmailed his way into all the contracts to gentrify the place.

[the_nz_natural]

It sure does look right pretty.

[bradito]

A$3,500 a month for an apartment?! Christ Almighty! I’ll never bitch about my rent in L.A. again.

…my rent’s still highway robbery.

[neil_spurn]

Srsly. I own a 3-story brownstone in Brooklyn and $3,500/month is more than my damned mortgage.
