Summary: The best super hero film ever!
Review: I'll be honest, I have nothing against Ben Affleck but when I first heard he was going to don tights and play a super hero I thought it sounded ridiculous. However Mr. GOOD WILL HUNTING would soon prove me wrong. DAREDEVIL is anything but ridiculous. It's a helluva a good time and Affleck is very good in the role of the red-horned avenger.

Knowing pretty much nothing about DAREDEVIL from the comic books and not caring much for the over hype that was SPIDER-MAN, I didn't have very high expectations when I sat down at the theatre to watch this one. That soon changed. Fifteen minutes in I had already declared this the best super hero film I'd ever seen. This isn't SPIDER-MAN. It's much more real, much darker. Not to mention that it has one of the best villains to grace the screen for the past decade in the form of Bullseye who is brilliantly played by Colin Farrell. Farrell just seems to be having so much fun with the role. You want him to get what he has coming but at the same time he's so much fun to watch.

Anyone who hasn't seen DAREDEVIL should definitely give it a look no matter what their reservations may be. Director Mark Steven Johnson has done an amazing job. I've seen a lot of movies this year (of all types and genre) and DAREDEVIL still stands out as one of the best. I can't wait for the sequel. Excellent!

Summary: David Keith, Paul Ben-Victor, Colin Farrell, what a cast!
Review: Yet, another Marvel movie. This one came as a surprise. Ben Affleck as the Daredevil superhero and Colin Farrell as the villian "Bullseye". If this film did not have Colin Farrell in it, I probably would not have seen this film on DVD and there is an "Easter Egg" in the "Beyond Hell's Kitchen" frame. Just press the left arrow on your DVD remote. I enjoyed this film better than the recent Spiderman and the first hour of The Hulk (2003). I was surprised to see David Keith (An Officer And A Gentleman), an actor I like, as the Daredevil's father and a boxer. Good casting there. Also an excellent cast of Joe Pantoliano and Paul Ben-Victor. By the way, keep watching the end credits. There is a funny clip of Colin Farrell as "Bullseye" that changes the story and the entire fate of his character. This DVD package is a 2-Disc set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfect actors for a perfect movie
Review: Excelent! I loved this movie so much! It's not as good as Spider-Man but still a good movie. Ben Afleck is perrfect for Matt Murdock. He's very romantic and does some really good action. All the other actors are perfect too. Get this movie on DVD because there are more extras, including three GREAT music videos! Get it today!

Summary: garbage
Review: this movie is terrible. do not buy this. do not rent this. this is an insult to anyone who loves comics. just watch spiderman again, daredevil is a movie of garbage.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Daredevil is much more enjoyable than Spiderman!
Review: I give this movie 3.5 stars, because it is a well done film, and is much better than Spiderman. Allfeck does a great job fitting the role of a blind person. The well known actors in the movie also help it move along without anyone taking a role that they shouldn't. No one is overpowering in the film, and the script was done to a good standard. The plot: much like a comic book! This movie (and DVD) is fit for most, and is enjoyable to watch. Hopefully all other comic films follow suit.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not That Good
Review: Okay. I found this film (on DVD) disappointing. I was a DareDevil comic book fan back in "the day", but I've long since forgotten the story. This film starts out pretty good with the story of the development of DD and how he lost his dad and gained supersensory powers. The fight scenes were pretty good, but other than these two things, the film just doesn't make it. The villians do much more for this film than DD himself. Ben Affleck doesn't get the job done! His love interest helps, but dies (as does the film) Rent it if youl haven't seen it --DON'T buy it. SpiderMan was tremendously superior!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Disasppointed
Review: I was looking forward to seeing this movie and generally I think well of Ben Affleck. Despite this, it was by far the most disappointing movie I've ever seen. Is it worth renting? I suppose. Worth buying? No way!

The acting was poor and the special effects less than mediocre. (Look towards the upper left corner of your screen to check out the wires holding the young DareDevil when he tests out his skills while sliding down a banister. )

The script, dialogue, etc. is all cliche and an insult to intelligent adults yet the movie has too much foul language and is too violent for children.

I'm shocked by how many people rated this film well. They must have very low standards when it comes to entertainment.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: pretty funny
Review: As I watched the pathetic CGI rat stumble through the opening, I remember thinking, "uh-oh." The rest of the movie was only slightly better. Stiff acting, terrible dialogue and really bad special effects. You've much better things to do with your time.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: good, but short
Review: This ranks near the bottom of the movies made from Marvel Comics in the past few years. Despite that, it's a solid little movie. It never soars, and it stumbles on a few occasions, but at the end it emerges as well worth the time. My main comlaint would be that the movie is too short; it could have been, and probably should have been, a half hour longer. That way, there might have been a bit more time for real characterization. As is, the characters just sort of move from one scene to the next, and we are expected to sort of fill in the blanks for ourselves. That the characters manage to live and breathe at all is a real testament to some fine acting. Ben Affleck, whom I expected to suck in this role, is outstanding as the conflicted title hero; Jennifer Garner shows Elektra's soft side as well as her angry, vengeful side; Michael Clarke Duncan is largely wasted as the Kingpin, but is believable as a crime lord; and Colin Farrell is truly psychotic as Bullseye, although I'd like to have some idea of why he is so nuts. Another complaint I'd like to register is that some of the wirework and CGI is awful. On the other hand, some of it is very good.

The extras are pretty good. There are two nearly hour-long documentaries. My favorite was the one that focuses on the comic-book history and development of Daredevil. It's a shame that more movies adapted from other media don't pay this much reespect to their source material.

This is not a perfect movie, but if you like superhero flicks, you should definately give it a shot.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not too terribly bad at all
Review: I admit - I heard lots of bad things about this movie. Bearing in mind that most of the derogatory comments came from hardcore Daredevil fans, I took the advice with a grain of salt. There's definitely an all-star cast in this movie, the plot is nicely set up for a sequel, but there's something just a bit too superficial about the whole atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie for what it was - an adaptation of a comic...
