I never thought the first film was all that bad myself...I mean, I thought it was better than the FF films and the first (well, second) punisher, definitely better than Ghost Rider, and yeah Elektra fell flat on its ass...but largely, I liked DD because they didn't mangle his storyline all that much.
Given, Affleck wasn't that great as Murdoch, Clarke worked as the Kingpin.
I thought the highlight was Bullseye.
Fairly compressed version of events, but I thought it turned out ok.

Though the director's cut is quite good - check it out

Absolutely agree - you haven't seen the entire film unless you've seen this - there was so much more in this one.
Statham I don't agree on in regards to his build, you need someone more lithe than that - and I really think a black suit with maybe some red tracks would work a lot better...the one in the first was too waxy/shiny looking.
I dunno, probably just me but I think Damian Lewis could pull it off...might not be able to shoot all his own action scenes, but hey...not like that matters in a film like this, I just think he could play Murdoch a lot better.

But Jason Statham... Most of what he has done since Snatch has been shitty. PLus, unless he can do a convincing american accent, then he is a definite no-go.

I've never got why people like Snatch...I thought it was an ass of a movie, about 5-6 funny situations tied together into a...I don't know...I just thought they were clearly trying for another Lock, Stock and didn't get it.
That said, you thought Crank was shitty? I mean c'mon...it was no Oscar winning material, but "fun"...not even "fun"?
Katie Sackoff is a good choice for Typhoid Mary, I think that could work.
Yeah, I remember that "kind of" version of her in Elektra, nothing really like the character at all. I still don't believe Terrence Stamp bothered getting in on this shit.
I think it would be too early to introduce deadpool into the dd franchise...but a punisher appearance could be cool...probably won't happen though.
