Leave aside your nostalgia and go ahead to the cinemas to catch the movie. It's great fun and stays true to the spirit and verve of the TV series original, even if it takes a bit to get used to Hannibal speaking with an
Irish accent.
By and by,
Bradley Cooper gives Dirk Benedict a very good run for his money as Faceman 2.0.
Quinton Jackson may not have the same presence as the legendary Mr. T, but he more than makes up for it with lots of heart and humble homage (gotta love his tattooed knuckles — watch out for them).
As for
Sharlto Copley, he's quite possibly more deranged than the Murdock I remember, in my opinion, and in a more physical way. Classic Murdock was verbally loopy — Murdock 2.0 is
completely mad
and he knows it.
And, oh, if you do watch the movie, stay pass the credits to catch some cameos.
