Summary: Best action flick so far this century
Review: Since the new millenium began I have been waiting for a great pure action flick. Daredevil is it.

While remaining true to the spirit of the comic, the four lead characters thrill us with their exploits. The costumes were great, and while there is definitely story, the action is perfectly weaved within the plot.

The hour long documentary with the comic writers was excellent. The hour long movie dialogue was OK, although some parts lagged. All in all, I could not be happier with the film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Never read a c omic, but I l oved this movie!
Review: I just wish Jennifer's character didn't die so soon. I would've loved to see Electra fight along side Matt.

All in all, an exellent movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Daredevil: a Darn Good movie
Review: Daredevil is almost perfect! The fight scenes are way better than those of Spider-Man & X-Men, the villains are sinister & cool, & Elektra is hot. Those who bash this great piece of cinematic history are idiots who have no taste. For Daredevil, I'll serve justice to those who hate this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not a great Marvel movie...
Review: But it's a good one. When I first saw it, I was disappointed because I thought it would be better than spiderman. Well it's not, but that doesn't mean it's a bad movie.

After watching the special features on this DVD I can see that a lot of hard work went into making this movie, and that made me appreciate it more. Now some people say it doesn't follow the comic book.

It does. I mean who cares if the way he was blinded was slightly different? The core of how he got blind remains the same so why do you people complain? What a bunch of nitpickers
-_- So if you hear bad stuff about this movie, just go out and rent it and judge for yourself if you like it or not.

Also the casting was perfect for this movie. Collin Farrell does an awsome job as Bullseye. In the comic book, Bullseye is a psycho killer and Collin captures that very well. Also Michael Clarke Duncan is wonderful as the Kingpin. And it doesn't matter if his skin color is different, he IS the Kingpin.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner do their roles well as Daredevil and Elektra. And the plot of the movie is well written, I can't wait for a sequel. All in all, just rent this movie and don't let any negative comments about it ruin this movie for you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Elektra kicks butt!
Review: I thought that Daredevil was a fun movie. It didn't try to be more than it was, which was pure entertainment. Not a lot of deep thoughts, just a couple of cool heroes based on a comic book. The fight scenes and some of the movements were a bit animated looking, but it was based on a comic book, so that should have been expected. All in all this was a decent film, Jennifer Garner was awesome as Elektra & Michael Clark Duncan made a pretty good King Pin, especially since he can look intimidating, just standing still. Fans of Daredevil comics & just easy to watch action movies in general, should enjoy this one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst Movie of the Year
Review: I hate this movie. Plain and simple. This movie not only had a terrible script, but it suffered from a talentless director who didn't seem to know what the hell he was doing. ... Michael Clark Duncan and Joe Pantoliano were WAY underused and misused as well.
Colin Ferrel did a decent job as Bullseye. But Affleck and Garner... not even worth wasting words on. I really wish I could give this steaming, stink pile of dung a negative rating. It's one of those rare films that truly deserves on. I can honestly say I felt like turning it off during the first 20 minutes. The only movie I ever felt like turning off or walking out on besides this was Battlefield Earth. Now these two films aren't completely worthless. They do raise thought-provoking ethical questions. Is it ok to want a refund at the dollar movie? Is is ok to claim the DVD is defective just to exchange it for a new one and take the new one to another store and claim it was a gift and get your money back? In the cases of Daredevil and Battlefield Earth, the answer is a simple "duh." It's sad to see that actors with talent such as Colin Ferrel, Joe Pantoliano and Michael Clark Duncan stoop to the level of Daredevil. I really hope their next pieces of work are less insulting that this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great DVD, I recommend it for all action movie fans
Review: Daredevil is a great movie, it has action, drama, an interesting plot, good heroes, excellent villains and a great cast. What else do you want.

The problem? I think "Daredevil" is not a character that can become popular such as its counterpart "Spiderman" and some people aren't moved by the "darker" side of a superhero but still this is what makes DD an interesting hero.

The extras are quite good, specially if you get the 2 DVD Special Edition. The only thing missing is that they should throw a couple of deleted scenes into the mix. There was a scene on the trailer with Coolio and they should put that on the DVD. The audio commentary of the director with one of the producers is so-so, somewhat funny actually, it's the first time I heard a director somehow bashing his own movie..."here comes the crappy CGI..." you can't get more honesty than that.

The movie itself rocks...if you love action movies this one will be entertaining...Where else can you get actors like Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell and Michael Clarke Duncan in the same movie!!! And Farrell is superb as the cold blooded assasin "Bullseye". Duncan nails the part as the Kingpin very good (specially since the Kingpin is white, but Duncan gets the "spirit" of the character). Joe Pantoliano and Jon Favreau are also in it and they give an excellent performance. It's strange that Garner wasn't even the 1st choice for the role (that was Bridget Moynahan from "The Sum of All Fears") but Garner nails the part perfectly as "Elektra" and she deserves her own movie (some say it's in development). Affleck is not perfect in the main role but still manages to get the job done.

Overall from 1 to 5: MOVIE=5 SOUND=5 EXTRAS=4

Summary: best marvel movie yet
Review: awesome cast, awesome fight scenes and great music. i liked this movie. the whole story was entertaining and it was just good all around. i thought it was better than spiderman and x man and all those other movies

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Just not feeling it
Review: I admit to not being a comic book fan, but agree there have been some excellent movies based on them including Spiderman, Superman, and X-Men. I don't think Daredevil will fall into that category.

The movie is dark and reminiscent of the original Batman movie. Affleck is believeable as Matt Murdoch, a lawyer who as a young boy is blinded by a toxic chemical spill. The character turns to a vegilanti after seeing his father killed by hired thugs. The movie is slow to start, has not predictable wire fight sequences, and lacks a concrete story line. Or more importantly tries to tie too many loose ends up in one story. Murdoch discovers the man that kills his father is the same man that is running the cities organized crime ring and hires the hit on his love Electra. Again reminiscent of Batman.

I wouldn't bother with this one.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Daredevil.. sigh.
Review: I really wanted to like this movie. Going into the theater, I felt slighly excited, I have been a long time fan of the Frank Miller version of Daredevil, and I had heard that director had brought Miller in to help with the film's visuals. So I settled in, and watched. The movie starts fast, and quickly moves through daredevil's origin, which I enjoyed - then they have a very good scene of the boy daredevil being woken by a booming drip and we see his radar "vision" working. Then it went downhill fast.
Some of my major problems with the film was I just didnt belive daredevil did those crazy moves. He jumps at least 10 feet down, falls another ten feet, and then again.. I expected him to be at least a few inches shorter when he hit the ground. And there is one more thing at the end that bugs me... but I won't give that away.
It does fullfill as an action movie, and you gotta see like 40 million dollars in action flyin across the screen. But don't think too much.
