Rating: Summary: Surprisingly captivating Review: The theatrical release got critically trashed, so I really didn't know what to expect from the DVD. But I found it very watchable. It spends too much time with the "back story," but the mix of drama and action - dark as it is - is quite good. (and the CGI stuff isn't nearly as laughable as in Spider-Man).
Rating: Summary: Daredevil wasnt all bad Review: Daredevil was an ok movie, alot better than i thought it would be. Although i thought there was going to be more fight scenes. Bullseye was only in it for a few minutes. Next time they need to make them fight more and not make everything happen in just one day.
Rating: Summary: Affleck as Daredevil?? Accept no substitutes. Review: I've personally always been a fan of Daredevil comic book wise and when I heard Ben Affleck would be Matt Murdock, I had reservations. then the rest of the cast came out, Jennifer Gardner I was like who? Colin Farrel as Bullseye? I can kinda see it but with the bald head?? Michael Clarke Duncan??? get real. When I saw this movie in the theatres I was blown away. EVERY actor in it portrays the character perfectly if not even more so. The story, acting, and action, heck all of it, is spectacular. I was over-joyed and I think even if you aren't a Devil fan you should buy this.
Rating: Summary: Awful! Awfullllll! Review: Oh my God, I haven't seen Gigli but I can't imagine it being any worse than this terrible, terrible film. The thing that kills me is that there are good writers in the world...why are they hiring the people that put together this awful, cliche-ridden, cheesy voice-over using, put-the-exposition-and-motivation-right-in-the-characters'-mouths junk! And i have to say, I really like Ben Affleck, and I LOVE Jennifer Garner, so I just don't know what the heck is going on here. As I might have mentioned before, the script is terrible. Ben and Jennifer's relationship is kinda creepy and misogynistic with violent undertones. Poor, poor Jon Favreau is stuck slaving away as the lone element of hope in this god-forsaken mess. And I can't comment about the supposed twists and turns, because I turned the DVD off after 15 minutes. As a writer, every cell in my body was screaming out in horror at this film. Terrible!
Rating: Summary: Daredevil needs to go to hell Review: This film is worser than Batman and Robin and Superman combined.Ben Affleck was so bad for the part it's laughable and Jennifer Garner as Elektra was wasted.Daredevil is about a blind boy now a man fighting crime.Daredevil is darker and lamer than Spiderman{which was a better comic book movie}.poor Stan Lee and Kevin Smith make cameos in this trash.the plot was so bad it was either action or comedy! and the actors and actresses that starred in this should feel ashamed.a waste of time and money to watch a loser in a red suit fight crime.go to hell Daredevil and bring this film with you
Rating: Summary: My fiancee liked it--in spite of Ben Affleck Review: I've personally never seen a Ben Affleck movie before this one, and my fiancee refused on the grounds of his unusual popularity with the ladies (he's not THAT good looking.) However, I am a fan of comic book heros, and not having read Daredevil, the premise intrigued me. The basic concept is that when he was young, his eyes were damaged, but by a radioactive material, and he was blinded. However, in its place his hearing is greatly improved, and he is still able to "see." For exactly how, watch the movie, no spoilers here, but I was impressed with the director's vision, no pun intended. I bought it, not knowing my fiancee's dislike of Mr. Affleck, and after some trouble persuaded her to watch it. We both came out at the end thinking the movie had been really good, but also surprised at some of the twists and turns the movie takes you from. I could easily see this movie in the "tear-jerker" category.All in all this wasn't the absolute BEST movie I've ever seen, but the director and actors put enough heart into a good script that it was worth both my time and my money.
Rating: Summary: As bad as Gigli?!? Review: Oh my god, was this movie bad! I forced myself to get to the end of it to see if it got any better. I was disappointed! What happened to Ben Affleck? He used to be able to act. (Or maybe he was just good at playing the same character over and over again!) Characters looked happy to be killed so they could escape from the set! Don't waste your money!
Rating: Summary: Enjoyable movie Review: I really enjoyed watching this movie. I think Ben Affleck could have been better, but I don't think his performance really took away from the movie much. I thought Jen Garner did a great job as Elektra. I also thought the special features, including some music videos were very good on the DVD.
Rating: Summary: DareDevil "Man Without Fear, B. Affleck "Man Without Talent" Review: Okay, let first say that when I saw this movie in the theater I found it tollerable despite the fact that one of the worst actors EVER is playing the lead character. Having said that, I bought the movie the day it came out and watched it again (of course) I would have to say I did a 180 on Daredevil. It is one of the most GOD-AWFUL piles of garbage I have ever seen. The acting was bad, the plot was razor......I just can't say enough bad things about this movie. They changed the character of Daredevil from a protector to a man that seeks revenge. Lawyer by day (and if the person he's up against goes free) he the executioner by night. Thats not Daredevil at all. They gave Daredevil the ability to leap really high, almost jumping over buildings, he's has no such powers. He just has super senses. I wish these directors would stop changing superheros to their own vision. They should keep these stories true to the comics. The fight at the end with the Kingpin was too short. It was such a let down. Also by the end of the movie almost everyone found out who the DareDevil is. Don't superheros know how to keep their secret identities anymore. The only bright spot of the movie is Bullseye. Colin Farrell should have been DareDevil. He's a better actor than Affleck. Anyway........if you don't heed my warnings, good luck, watch with caution and a big bucked for your vomit.
Rating: Summary: An underrated film Review: This Film was greatly underrated due to the fact that it came out in when there was a plethora of sci-fi and comic book movies to choose from.Did anyone really expect it to get much attention when X-2, Tomb Raider 2, The Hulk, etc. were coming out? That being said, I was very surprised by this film. I myself never saw it until it came out for rent. In my opinion, it is one of the best comic book films made. Granted, Ben Affleck really shouldn't dye his hair red, and the branded Bullseye was a touch hokey, but the rest was pure comic book gold. The movie gets points for showing a superhero with scars and missing teeth. I was personally amazed that Ben Affleck could actually portray Daredevil as a real character instead of just a guy running around in tights. The hero has flaws, the villians have flaws, the supporting cast has flaws. It makes the film more realistic to show that this guy is going to confession or that he thinks he can't handle a rich girlfriend. Be honest, most guys would freak if they found out their new girl had bucks in the bank. Why is it so hard to think that a superhero would? Props for the special effects in this film. The costuming was actually well done. It did not look hokey like it so easily could have. While I personally don't care for the style of music of the soundtrack for simple listening pleasure, it fits incredibly well with the slightly darker tone of the flick. The extras on the DVD are actually good. The free game was a nice touch, and the hearing impared description track is a great addition givent he subject of the film.
