The long-rumored director's cut of Daredevil delivers a better film, 30 minutes longer than the original due to not only new scenes but also small extensions here and there and the removal of the nonsensical love scene. There's more action--Daredevil beating up a biker bar, more Elektra-Bullseye, and more Kingpin--and more character for Matt Murdock, including his relationship with his dad, and banter with Foggy. Director-writer Mark Steven Johnson and producer Avi Arad (also Marvel's CEO) do a good commentary track discussing the changes and why they felt the original came up short (the studio wanted a faster pace, less violence, and more Jennifer Garner), though they do lapse into self-congratulation (when Johnson says people are divided on the playground scene, Arad asks, "Over what? 'Is it great' or 'is it tremendous'?"). There's also a 15-minute featurette about the new cut.
