Daredevil

Zell: You know what I just realized?

Emi: Yes, I am a psychic.

Zell: ...I just realized that I almost never get the first say in these things.

Emi: I'm sorry... Did you want the first say?

Zell: Er...I guess.

Emi: Well do you or don't you?? Time's a-wasting - we're not getting any younger!

Zell: Yeah, I do! *throws hands in the air* GEEZ!

Emi: *calmly* Go ahead then.

Zell: Daredevil was a solid flick, but if you compare it to the recent Spider-Man...It kinda sucks.

Emi: *nods in agreement*

Emi: I honestly didn't think Daredevil had many fans. Before the movie came out, when was the last time someone mentioned Daredevil?

Zell: I don't think I was born yet.

Emi: I'm not saying that the movie was bad because many of us were clueless...because being clueless would be our own fault. ^^;

Zell: All-in-all the movie was okay, but it lacked...something.

Emi: It felt like there wasn't much plot, but it was going too quickly in some places and too slowly in others.

Zell: And there wasn't much humor.

Emi: You know I'm all for the humor.

(Zell pauses, slumping in his chair.)

Zell: This is a very dry review.

Emi: How so?

Zell: I dunno... We need more exclamation points or something.

Emi: HOW'S THIS?!?!?!?!?!?!

Zell: That's just annoying.

Emi: Hrm.

Emi: This!..?

Zell: Uh...yeah, that's good.

Emi: It's a pretty exclamation point. ^_^ Give it a kiss!

Zell: *wrinkles brow* Wha?

(Emi ignores him and faces the camera.)

Emi: I didn't get attached to any of the characters.

Zell: *stares*

Emi: Oh, I forgot to say that I'm digressing.

Emi: ...I'm digressing.

(Zell lets out an exasperated sigh.)

Emi: I don't mean to compare it to Spider-Man but... Wait a minute, yes I do.

Zell: Can't you just accept movies for what they are and not have to compare them to the classics? How do you think that makes the movie feel??

Emi: Not...good? o_O

Zell: Exactly. But go ahead.

Emi: I felt the characters in Spider-Man were better developed. Or perhaps they were just more likeable.

Zell: I have a feeling you're going to be getting some crazed Daredevil fans setting your email box aflame.

Emi: .....

Emi: It's just my opinion. If they don't want my opinion they don't have to take it.

Zell: But they will.

Emi: Mm...Yes.

(Emi and Zell sit quietly while Emi taps her fingers nervously on the arm of the chair.)

Emi: Okay, I'm scared now.

Zell: Don't worry about it.

Emi: *chews on lip* ...There was too much blood.

Zell: Blood is cool.

Emi: *gives Zell a sideways glance* Uh...I guess. But for some reason I didn't enjoy this blood. And now I sound like some stereotypical teenager who plays too many gory video games and becomes "violent". Truth is, I don't play many violent video games...and I'm not violent. Not that violent games would make you violent, because I think that as long as you have a good mind-

Zell: STOP! Stop, stop, STOP.

Emi: Mmkay.

Zell: I don't know where you're getting off on violence in video games, but we were talking about Daredevil.

Emi: Daredevil was violent.

Zell: But it's not a video game.

Emi: I don't doubt it will be soon.

Zell: ...True.

Emi: But you're right. I've made a resolution to stay on topic.

Zell: Ha!

Emi: Now normally I would have gone off on a tangent and started an argument with you, but not anymore. I'm just going to ignore that remark and continue the review.

Zell: Really?

Emi: I did like some of the movie. Especially the part at the beginning where little Matt stopped Stan Lee from walking into the busy street. It was cute. ^_^

Zell: You're really going to ignore me?

Emi: The special effects were awesome and the fight scenes weren't too shabby. However, I felt King Pin was too much in the background, so when Daredevil finally fights him it's like...so what?

Zell: The villian kills some characters, but I didn't really care since they weren't shown enough to get attached to them.

Emi: But despite its flaws, Daredevil was decent. I'm personally waiting for X-Men 2.

Zell: What about The Hulk?

Emi: I never was a big Hulk fan. No pun intended.

Zell: The pun was stupid, anyway.

Emi: I heard they're making a new Superman and Batman movie.

Zell: How many is that now?

Emi: I dunno, and I don't care. I love Batman movies.

Zell: Not Superman?

Emi: I like Superman...but I like Batman more.

Zell: I think now would be a good time to wrap this up. ...So we don't go off talking about Batman or Superman or Captain Underpants or something.

Emi: That was a lot of "or's".

Zell: Yeah, it kinda was.
