Hey, I understand why the movie cannot be faithful in all respects to the comic--a movie being much much shorter than a year-long storyline at the very least--but it's hard to ignore when a movie takes so many liberties with material that one will eventually wonder why the movie even bothered to use the property anyway. They could have simply bought the name alone and gone from there.
Not that this applies to the movie Daredevil at all. When I saw Bullseye's design, I just didn't like it. If they can make a Daredevil costume, then a typical Bullseye costume should be just as easy. I felt the movie was taking a liberty about how a villain dressed up in a costume is somehow less threatening than some cheap punked-out Death Wish leftover. It reeks of the Dolph Lundgren Punisher film years ago that didn't include the trademark skull because 'it looked too comic-bookish.' Of course, they could ignore that's why they bought the rights in the first place.
Other than that, I could dig the movie. I'll watch it when I get the cash, even through I'm a bit suspicious why an industry hellbent on putting CGI anywhere they can missed an opportunity to portray the exaggerated bulk of the Kingpin in such a form. Now that would have been impressive!!
