"Dare Devil" set a new record for the Presidents Day holiday, beating the three-day, $20 million debut of the Denzel Washington drama "John Q." last year. "Daredevil" also ranks as the No. 2 February opener of all time after 2001's "Hannibal" ($58 million).

I'm surprised to see Daredevil doing so well. Not only did it get terrible reviews but even the trailer sucked.

[Recker]

No wonder Dare Devil is doing well, it got bad reviews. Everyone knows that most reviewers these days don't have the taste in movies that the average viewer does. <img border="0" alt="[Laugh]" title="" src="graemlins/laugh.gif" /> If the typical reviewer gives it a bad review, it must be good!

Either that or the word hasn't spread about how bad it is yet. (I'm gonna watch it when it comes here!)

I don't really listen to the Critics about the movies.... if it's something that intrests me, then I'll go see it.. and that all depends on how much money I have in my pocket. Going to the movie's is damn expensive here in NY. <img src="http://www.emotipad.com/emoticons/Wonder.gif" alt=" - " />

I agree. I usually go to Rotten Tomatoes.com. I figure if there are 100 reviews and 99 of them say a movie is bad, let's just say I'll go with law of averages.

I never listen to Critics, I go and see what I want to see and make my own Judgements!! I remember when Mr. Ebert gave a thumps Down for Dead Poets Soc and that was like an Outstanding Movie <img border="0" alt="[Thumbs Up 1]" title="" src="graemlins/thumbsup1.gif" /> And Critics went on and on about Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and I totally could not take that movie!! :p I think it just comes down to your Personal Preferance!!

The Movie bosses are so pleased with the $43 million debut of "Daredevil" they're already talking about a spin-off for Jennifer Garner's heroine Elektra. Garner says of the idea, "There is no ending to Elektra's story. There's talk of a spin-off and I'm open for it."

Well the guys will be happy that is for sure <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
