Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

bentheredfan There's going to plenty of negatives in this review. Let me vent the positives first. Charlie Cox (Daredevil) and Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) are both brilliant. They got me to episode seven, truly. Individually, the characters are just as strong as in their respective shows, together, the chemistry between Jones and Daredevil is stunning. Wai Ching Ho (Madame Gao) is the best villain in the thing and, though woefully underused, Elodie Yung (Elektra Natchios) is great as well. Scott Glenn does well as Stick and it was cool to see him back. The fight scenes are well-filmed and exciting. Ok. Now to the problems. Sigourney Weaver (Alexandra) plays a baffingly shallow villain that is the definition of one-dimensional. Both Jessica Henwick (Colleen Wing) and Finn Jones (Danny Rand) whine almost incessantly. I understood the reasoning for it in Iron Fist, but here, it is constant and DRAGS the series down. I hated Iron Fist by the time episode 7, out of 9, came around, and this wasn't the intent of the show. Mike Colter (Luke Cage) spends most of his screen-time virtue-signaling and complaining in true SJW fashion. Simone Missick (Misty) is HORRID. HORRID. Her character is the embodiment of unnecessary virtue-signaling and is a hindrance, not a help, to the plot. She is arrogant, wrapped up in her own self importance with no regard for how things actually work in the real world.People, this is terrible. My only recommendation is to somehow watch only the scenes with Jessica and Daredevil and view some of the ones with Gao. Elektra has some cool moments and so does Stick, but I will not be going back to this anytime soon. Horrid.

freddyja Great to see DD and Iron Fist together. Luke cage and Jessica jones could've been left out, as their shows are boring dribble and have nothing in common with DD and Iron fists shows. But i'd still rather only see JJ and LC in another defenders then for them to have another full season.

Ewokie9000 If you like marvel shows you should watch the defenders it is one of the best team up superheros shows and daredevil is one of the best superheros in the show and everyone else is good to.

rzemph This series fails on so many levels it's hard to know where to begin compiling a list of its numerous shortcomings. Perhaps with a poke at the tired old plot line of the evil organization out to destroy the world but for the heroic efforts of a handful of super-powered individuals? Surely they could have come up with something a tad more original? Or perhaps one might savage the moronic dialogue, so trite and cliché-ridden as to be laughable? And what of the Defenders themselves? Let's see, there's the slow-witted, obviously urban kid who we are meant to believe was brought up from early childhood by mystic monks in a remote Asian temple... Hmmm. And then there's the knock-kneed, adenoidal private eye whose main superpower seems to be her ability to irritate the viewer with every peevish grimace and nasal delivery of her hackneyed lines -- which more often than not consist of some lame schoolgirl put-down or expletive-filled interjection. But the truth is it would take too long to run through all the faults to be found here, and this soggy cheeseburger of a series certainly does not deserve so much time being spent on it. So let me simply sum up by saying: avoid.
