My guess is they are setting it up for sequels so kingpin will be established over another movie or two. But I have not seen it and I have only heard countless bad reviews and two good reviews.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a sequel, especially considering the bit at the end of the credits (you'll have to watch that bit yourself, I'm not telling )

This morning I was reading some other reviews that were going off on some wierd rant about how Michael Clark Duncan had ruined the whole film because he played Kingpin and he's black, unlike the Kingpin in the comicbooks.
People are either far too concerned by picking at every little detail or being racist to realise that he really is the best man for the job - I honestly can't think of anyone else who's the right built as well as being a fantastic actor.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Well a lot of people are upset that they turned down Cuba Gooding Jr for the role of Daredevil because he was black and then casted Michael Clarke Duncan for kingpin. They are saying it's racist to cast black guys for bad guy characters but not cast them for hero's. Personally I think there is no racism involved.

Anyways one of the few good things I can say on this movie based on my observations of it without actually seeing it is casting Michael Clarke Duncan for kingpin was a really smart move. No one else can fill a suit out like that and makeing a CG or a padded fat suit kingpin would really suck.
