Rating: 5 stars
Summary: LOVED IT
Review: Yeah it's cheesy at times. Yeah it's also dark. Yeah they tried too hard to mix the campy 60's comic stuff with the darker modern comic stuff, but I still really loved this movie. I'm glad I gave Daredevil a look.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: oh boy
Review: Ben as a super hero? No thank you. This man cannot act. And whats up with the scene where he likes that woman so they go outside to fight? Thats a weird a need I add STOOPID way to flirt. Give me more Colin and less Ben and maybe just maybe I would have liked this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: marvel's greatest character in enjoyable but flawed film
Review: This movie grew on me. i saw it twice in the theater and many more times on the dvd. i took objection with some of the liberties the director took with the original story and characters. i have read every issue of the original comic and know the history and development of the character very well. i initially recoiled at a black kingpin but eventually conceded that his performance and physical presence was more important than his pigmentation. jennifer garner looks really sexy but is too campy and silly in portraying what was a very dark character in the books. i was cringing during the playground dual with matt murdock. colin farrell was inspired as bullseye. afleck has stated little desire to do a sequel. fine. who needs him. let someone else zip up the leather and have at it. foggy was great! the frank miller born again saga is screaming to be the storyline of the sequel so get on with it. maybe a spidey crossover? so many possiblities. the dvd is very worthwhile with wonderful bonus features. daredevil is 40 this year. long live daredevil!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Only four stars..
Review: When compared to Spider-Man.

What they need to do is make a motion Picture with Daredevil, Spider-man, the Hulk, and the X-men! That would be the bomb!

They could battle Superman, Batman. Hellboy, and the JLA.

Now we are talkin' a frakin' movie!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, you should see this flick, it's not that bad.

Summary: The costume looked horrendous....
Review: I kind of gotten cynical about desiging the same comic book costumes used for comic book movies. I was grateful that Spider-Man's looked good and beliveable, but this movie kind of reminded me that most superhero outfits just do not look great on film no matter how hard you try. Anyone wearing long red underwear will look like someone wearing long red underwear, and Daredevil's looked like two red leather jackets put together with a zipper in back and the mask looked like a red motor bike helement. Very laughable and totaly looked like it was made for a geek to wear. Anyway, after seeing this movie, I am all for desiging something new for the charecters to wear on film, because this is a movie, not the comics. They need to wear uniforms that will make them look beliveable, are you listening Marvel?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fine escapism
Review: It's too bad comic book movies aren't supposed to be "cheesy". Some folks don't understand the fun of a good cheesy comic adventure. The Punisher is dark and cheesy too. Heck, Daredevil was ultra-cheesy in the Trial of the Incredible Hulk. Now he's not as cheesy, but some folks want to complain that it's still not right. Was it cheesy when Matt lost his father? No way. This movie has heart too. I suppose a guy named Doctor Octopus isn't cheesy? Whatever! People are going to believe what ever they want, but they should lighten up and stop being way too serious and stuffy. This is a fine escapist movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Cheddar. Provolone. Mozarella. Swiss.
Review: In other words: PURE CHEESE!!

This has to be the absolute cheesiest comic-book hero flick that Marvel has put out there yet.

The dialouge is so melodramatic and cheesy it's almost funny, the plot is paper thin and full of holes, and the acting is bottom-of-the-barrel B-movie bad. Ben Affleck and Colin Farrell are both TERRIBLE actors. This film deserves them both and they both deserve to have it on their resumes.

By the end of this flick my eyes were sore from rolling them so many times.

The ending tries to leave things open for a sequel. Please, God, don't ever let there be a sequel.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Well Remake of the Comic Book
Review: Daredevil was, at first, a new character to me. His comic books, when they were first released, did stir some emotion. Yet, I don't believe it was as good as Spiderman or the other Marvel characters. However, this movie is in relation to Daredevil and knowing that movies made by Marvel is worth seeing, I took a chance and watched the DVD. I have no regrets or second thoughts about the movie. It wasn't exactly breathtaking or exhilirating, but the story and plot was well stated and shown. The story of a 12-year old boy being blinded by biohazardous waste, losing his father at 12, becoming a successful lawyer, and New York's vigilante hero is an interesting story. Showing the different periods of his life, the movie made smooth transition through time. Overall, the movie was well made and is a worthy collectors item for Marvel fans.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: DD
Review: Another dark figure haunting since Draclinghood from the shelves of comic book fane, Dare Devil {played by Ben Affleck} travels high above through the night like some red demon, casting his fearsome shadow upon criminal wastrels throughout the concrete jungle.

Dare Devil is blinded by nuclear waste as a child, although the very same chemical which plunged him into eternal darkness also embued him with heightened senses. He derives his nomenclature and inspiration from a wrestling mentor who was murdered in a back alley by a sore-loser after a match, which then placed him on the road to the dark justice of vigilanteism. He subsequently becomes a lawyer, earning his degree by using braille to excel, and sets out to avenge a rape victim against a lowlife who gets away scott-free...or so he thought. He eventually meets up with "Elektra Nasches" {which in the movie sounds rather like "electric nachos"}, and after a spirited battle after exiting a restaurant in which he desires to date her, she marvels at his skills despite being a blind man, and eventually do begin to date.

"Bullseye" eventually appears, a bald hoodlum-type with target scarification on his forehead, who utilizes deadly metal spikes to make his point. Under the aegis of The Kingpin {who appears here as a muscular black man, not as the original obese caucasian}, manages to implicate DD as the murderer of Elektra's father, so she embarks upon avenging him, but is dispatched by her own sai by Bullseye {what a waste!}, who of course himself bites the dust.

I loved the effects in this film, displaying microscopic processes and the dynamics of Dare Devil's sonic sensibilities in action, which quite literally do provide him with vision and full awareness of the environment.

4/5 Black Candles.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: pays tribute to the comic book's legacy
Review: How can a Daredevil fan hate this movie? It's not perfect, but it's heart is in the right place. They went over and above the call of duty by having a priest named Everett, the John Romita bit, the Frank Miller scene, I loved the Stan the Man's scene, the names Miller, Mack, and Bendis are in there, a bad guy named Joe Quesada, Kevin Smith even shows up as "Kirby"...I loved it.
