Get The Director's Cut. It truly is awesome!

I wonder if some of the cluttered nature of this film was the feeling they only would get one Daredevil movie so they tried to jam 40 years of Daredevil history into one film. There was enough there with the Kingpin story line that they didn't need to introduce Elektra and deal with the whole bit about Bullseye killing her. There's enough in that story alone that it could have been contained in its own movie. I really liked the Coolio sub plot that got added to the director's cut because it fleshed out the Matt Murdock side of the character better than the original version.
Personally I like the DC and think it is significantly better than the original. In fact it's even one of the better comic book movies that has been made, but I think Daredevil has a lot more potential than what we saw even with the DC and I hope the series can flesh things out better than any movie ever could. -

The director's cut is definitely a superior movie. Is it great? No, but it's solid. I'd rank it behind the standout Marvel movies like X2 or Spiderman 2 but ahead of Spiderman 3 and The Last Stand. The script needed more polishing and they should have gone with a more experienced - i.e. better - director. But it has its great moments. I love the casting of Jennifer Garner as Elektra and the fights were well-choreographed if sometimes poorly edited.
Daredevil definitely deserved better though, so I'm happy for the Netflix series.
