Summary: Better than Spider-Man!
Review: DareDevil is a better movie than Spider-Man!Why?Because in Spider-Man I think the special-effects could have been better.Sometimes it looked like Spider-Man was computerized and cheesy.DareDevil has great effects.The story is awesome.The action is awesome.But I cannot give this film 5 stars.One reason,there are better super hero movies like SuperMan.I love superhero movies but I never read the comic books.So I recommend this film to everyone,But they should of gone more into the story of how he became DareDevil,but I still recommend this great film.

Summary: Action with reality-great soundtrack to boot
Review: Daredevil was the best of the superhero films...I guess because of the fact that the character is the most human of all. Garner was great in the film, and I thought Affleck played his part very well. I like the "darkness" that comes with it, and I thought Kingpin was casted well. This movie could have been an even bigger hit if they would have marketed it a little better before its release. I highly recommend it.

Summary: One word - ....
Review: 3 things keep this from being a great movie. 1. Daredevil DOES NOT KILL! This is a violation of the very core of the character, who believes that the legal system must decide someone's fate. 2. Matt fights Electra in a park in front of a crowd of people, openly displaying his "powers." 3. Speaking of powers, Daredevil only has heightened senses, not the ability to jump from a skyscraper and land feet-first without becoming the Human Accordion. Whilie it's necessary to use a little tweaking of the story here and there when bringing a comic that's been running 20+ years to the big screen (see SpiderMan for an example of how to do it properly), the liberties taken with this character were too much.

Summary: Terrific Film
Review: This is a Terrific Film.
What a great cast it has. I watched this film at Village cinemas southland with my mum and my little brother and i enjoyed it alot.
The film is about young Matt Murdock has just learned a horrible truth. His father Jack is not the man he thought and the discovery wounds him deeply. It also spurs a terrible accident where the young man is doused with radioactive waste.
The disaster leaves Matt blind, but his other senses develop a superhuman acuity; his newly acquired 'radar' allows him to 'see' in ways no other can.
Don't read any reviews of this movie because they will trash it just give it this roller coaster ride of a film 10/10 stars.
Great music score by Greame Revell.Get Ready For This Year's Devil

Summary: Not Great, But Not Terrible Either..
Review: If I could give this film 3 1/2 stars, I would. First, Daredevil is one of my favorite Marvel characters. Its one of those rare comic vehicles that attracted the cream of the crop: from Frank Miller to Harlan Ellison. It is still a great read, but how is the film compared to the comic? Well, it is so-so. Ben Affleck did a decent job as Matt Murdoch, the costume looked good, but the character who played Electra did a poor job (I forget her name). Colin Farrell stole the show (as expected) as Bullseye; the fight scenes were OK but some of them were poorly filmed, the lighting was insufficient and you could'nt really tell what was going on. However the movie was pretty faithful to the original comic story. I say "original" because none of the Frank Miller storyline was used: Matt's mentor, Stick, or the Hand. That was disappointing but the storyline focusing on Daredevil's origin and his father was compelling. Will they make a sequel? Probably, the producers should make one, maybe next time they'll have Frank Miller help with the script.

Summary: Finally, A Super Hero Film For Grown-Ups !!!
Review: I really couldn't tell you one super hero movie that I ever liked... Until now! The casting, the storyline, and the photography is all very well done here, and the soundtrack is noteworthy too. Ben Affleck plays the darkest and most fascinating comic book character ever brought to the silver screen! As a matter of fact, his character is so dark and complex that it's hard to refer to Daredevil as an actual "super hero". That's what helps this movie so much... It isn't sugar-coated for the kids, it's actually more for the parents if you ask me. The reason I decided to give it a full 5 star rating is because it's the kind of movie you can enjoy over and over again. Ebert and Roeper gave TWO THUMBS UP!! If you thought SPIDERMAN was overrated, give this movie a shot!! BUY THIS DVD NOW!!!

Summary: Fun to Watch, with the Best Kiss Scene Ever?
Review: Superhero movies. They're on their way this summer in the forms of the Incredible Hulk, a "League" of gentlemen, and some guy named Wolverine. Could Daredevil just be a taste of what's to come? If so, then I say bring on them crazy superhero mutants!
Daredevil was a great surprise to me. To begin with, I'm not a fan of Daredevil, Ben Affleck, nor Jennifer Garner. Not that their stuff bores me, it's just I'm not big fans of their work. Daredevil changed that.
The story is simple. Murdock is a blind guy who has enhanced all of his abilities through his handicap. He uses these abilities to revenge the death of his father by giving justice to the city he lives in. When he meets Elektra, a new sort of justice comes into play.
Our leads give a fantastic performance and their chemistry was awesome. The rooftop kiss in the rain scene is - in my opinion - one of the best kiss scenes. Colin Farrel gives a hoot of a performance as a co-villian and Michael Clarke Duncan rocks as usual.
The action in this movie is high. There are a number of great fight scenes and action sequences. A bunch of adrenaline here.
I only have one complaint with this movie, and it seemed it moved too fast at times. I need a little bit more character development (partially with Elektra) for me. But other than . . .
Daredevil was a fun adrenaline-filled movie with the right amount of a side love story to settle it.

Summary: Though short, Daredevil offers one heck of a ride
Review: Daredevil is my first superhero film. No, I didn't see X-Men, Batman, or Spiderman, but from the moment I read the synopsis of Daredevil, it was the only choice for me. I come from the school of tortured souls: Louis from Interview With the Vampire, Nick Knight from Forever Night, Father Kiernan from Stigmata. I want my hero to be both powerful and remorseful. Daredevil is both. Blinded as a child by a freak accident, Matt Murdock's other four senses are hypersensitive. As an adult, Matt is a pro bono lawyer in Hell's Kitchen, but despite his best efforts, his clients don't get justice. By night Matt dons a red leather costume complete with horns and doles out the deserved justice to rapists, murderers and thugs. But he is a tortured soul and seeks spiritual relief in a nearby church, the priest being one of the few that knows of his dual identity as Daredevil. Matt views his gifts as more of a curse: tormented by the extreme noise of the everyday, he sleeps in a sealed chamber. His cupboard is stocked with Vicodin and assortment of painkillers. His body is covered with scars, showing all too well that he is only human. And his life gets more complicated when he meets the beautiful (yet lethal) Elektra. Both Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner bring chemistry and believability to their roles, and there is definitely onscreen chemistry between the two. Matt's faith is tested as he is faced with losing everone and everything he's ever loved at the hands of Kingpin; it's a bitter fight to the finish. The storytelling is at times disjointed, the camera work seizure inducing (made me think of MTVesque Stigmata), the music an ear splitting blend of rock, alternative, and Rob Zombie. The visual and stunt work is incredible, with superhuman leaps, suspended kicks, and weapon trajectories (never knew that paper clips could be lethal weapons, did you?). There are moments of dark humour, most provided by pottymouthed Colin Farrell as Bullseye and Jon Favreau as Matt Murdock's sidekick. Sadly, the love story between Elektra and Matt didn't really play out much, and the film is short (103 min.). I found the ending unsatisfying, although it obviously sets up a sequel. In spite of a few hiccups along the way, Daredevil is one heck of a wild ride.

Summary: A new hero will be born.
Review: I admit I had my doubts about seeing a Daredevil movie. Eventhough I had been a fan of ole hornhead for years, I still wasn't convinced that they could actually pull it off. Director Mark Steven Johnson does pull it off, albeit with a few problems, and does so rather well. Daredevil is a blind super hero. That in itself is a bit unusual. He has no real "super powers". He has however heightened senses that were brought about by an accident when a young 12 year old Matt Murdock had a accident. A barrel of industrial wasted took his sight by increased the sensitivity of all his other senses. He can hear a whisper a block away. But now he also has a "radar" sense, which the filmakers portray in a very convincing manner. By day Murdock is a trial lawyer defending the innocent. By night he puts on a red leather costume and metes out his own brand of justice. People had alot of complaints about this movie. One of the main ones I often heard was the disdain for Ben Affleck. Believe me when I say this, Ben Affleck does a very convincing job as the Man Without Fear. Affleck is reportedly a big DD fan. So there was little fear by director Mark Steven Johnson that he wouldn't take the role seriously. Colin Farrel however steals the movie as Bullseye. An Irish assasain hired by Michael Clark Duncan's character the Kingpin. Farrel brings life to one of my favorite villains from the DD comic book. My biggest complaint was his costume design. He looks more like a reject from the Village People than a hired hitman. Jennifer Garner, is fabulous as Elektra Natchios, Murdock's love interest. The response to Garner's character has been positive enough that Elekra is now slated to have her own movie. One of the biggest problems I have with Daredevil is the pace of the film. Clocking in at about 1 hour and 45 minutes, the film feels like it is rushed. Johnson is said to have cut over 30 minutes of running time from the film. Perhaps that additional footage will be included on the DVD. But to the non DD fan there is little in the way of character development. The fight scenes however, make up for what is lost. The confrontation between DD and Bullseye brings to life one of my favorite scenes from Frank Miller's run on the Man Without Fear. In comic book lore this is one of the more epic showdowns in the Marvel Universe. Though not earth shaking, it was brought to life with great care and respect. One thing that alot of comic book fans didn't appreciate were the many changes that were made from the comic. Nobody certainly likes changes, but it would be impossible to tell a story like this without any changes at all. One of the changes I dissapointed with was in a young Matt Murdocks training. A major guiding force in his life was omitted. I'm hoping that in the sequal it will be revisited. This is certainly not an "A+" movie by any means. However it's certainly not a "B" movie. I gave it 4 stars because there's no rating for 3 and a half stars. You certainly won't feel ripped off after seeing Daredevil. But it's certainly not the greatest super hero movie ever made by anymeans. What it does do well is it introduces a character that has been languishing in obscurity for decades. It also sets the table for what will probably become, like X-Men before it, another franchise film for Marvel.

Summary: it was okay...
Review: The best thing about the movie was the casting of the villains. Michael Clark Duncan was perfect as Kingpin (even though Kinpin was originally white) and Colin Farrell certainly made Bullseye the movie's most unforgettable character.
