I think Kingpin in the Daredevil movie was spot on. Yes they did make him black, but that is because they found a perfect actor for the part and he was black. A movie with actual actors can not always make a character look exactly like in the comic books or novels or whatever a movie is taken from. But for me Kingpin was perfect, he had the perfect mannerisms and personality of the character.
As a person who has read the comics for some years prior to seeing the film, that is, Daredevil, The Punisher, and the various Spider-Man titles, in which the Kingpin has played a villain to all, I disagree with your perception there.
He didn't do a BAD job, and I'm not saying this because he was black...but he was nowhere near as sinister as the "real" Kingpin was. Also, he made a few too many wisecracks though wasn't quite condescending enough.

I loved Bullseye he was good
Not really quite as psychotic as I'd have liked, nor did he employ the kind of weapons and tactics as I'd have expected...but he did a fair job.

Electra was okey but got perhaps a little to sweet compared to how the character is presented in the comic books
Agreed on Elektra...just, not the character in any way really...The spin-off movie came a little closer, but still, not really...

Daredevil was a marvel character I did not pay much attention to as I normally go for the superheroes with more impressive super powers, but the movie really did it's job and got me interested in the comics.
A better film would be a darker film.
Bullseye WOULD be a good villain to focus on, they'd just really need to get him right this time. Also daredevil, should probably talk a whole lot less.
A darker film is what they need.
