Summary: Not Spiderman, not Batman, but a new Original.
Review: Daredevil took the bright vibrant New York City the we all saw in Spider-man, and turned into a Tim Burton style Gothic wonderland. Ben Affleck did a wonderful job (no matter what any critic may say) in cinematically portraying the comic book hero. The finest performance comes from the girl-next door kick but superwoman, Jennifer Garner. She played her role with passion and brute toughness. Colin Ferrel also played his role well, but the other villain in the film was too defeatable and he really disappointed me. The effects were great and so was the drama. See this if you are a fan of comics or popcorn movies.

Summary: Don't mess with this guy!
Review: This is a great movie. Affleck is added to the 'Marvel's comic superheroes list'. Okay so it isn't 'Tow towers' or even 'X-men' but it's still good. You'd think Ben Affleck was a rather odd actor to play a role of a superhero but he actually played it really well. SO is it entertaining? Yes, it is. It's worth it. The fight sequences are fascinating (not exactly the final X-men movie battle though where all the characters reveal their best powers to us). It is funny too. But the main question people ask themselves when a movie like this is made is that is the character true to the original idea? The X-men were perfect, the Archie comic cartoons weren't exactly right, Spider-man was good, Asterix and Obelix was good, Lord of the rings/Two towers was also perfect, and the Harry Potter flicks were also excellent. And so did Daredevil. It was just like the comic. It's important to have some huge fan of the original creation to make the movie a success. In Spiderman's case it was the director and in Daredevil's case it's Ben Affleck. But Affleck and Garner didn't exactly form a great onscreen bond. It may be hard to have that in a superhero flick but 'Jean Grey-Cyclops' and 'Peter Parker-Mary Jane' didn't really have trouble doing that. But the bottom line is that true fans will probably be pleased with this creation. From all the comic book superhero flicks being made, X-men is (hands down) the best of them all. Every character was perfectly chosen, more than I can say of other superhero movies. The movie is in short sinister and an action-packed adventure.The story revolves around Matt Murdock (played by Affleck) who was blinded as a child by a radioactive accident. But he got great senses, excellent fighting abilities, and other superhuman powers. In the morning he is Kitchen defence attorney. At night he is known to many as 'Daredevil' a superhero that fights crime in the streets of New York (common to all superhero comics/movies except Batman). He leaps from skyscraper to skyscraper. Daredevil's opponent Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan), and his deputy-murderer Bullseye (Colin Farrell) also play major roles of difficulty in Affleck's life. Daredevil fights their prevailing forces unaided, until he meets Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner of ALIAS fame), a trained martial artist and super heroine who is after Bullseye and Kingpin for assassinating her dad. Actually overall the movie is pretty good but there aren't really any 'phrases' and 'scenes' that you would start mentioning over and over again. I mean unforgettable stuff like the way Uma Thurman says 'Poissssson Ivyyy" in Batman and Robin or the way Robin always said 'let's get to the bat mobile' etc. But you can't have it all. You can't just wait for X-men 2 to come out without watching other superhero flicks. Well you can but it's a bit of a wait so I recommend you see this! Rating out of 5: 4.5 so I rounded it up to 5 Best scene: When Matt and Elecktra fight eachother What's the best thing about it? It stayed true to it's comic book! Worst thing? The cast wasn't all that great. Compared to other comic book movies, it was a lowdown. The casting should have been done by the X-men casting person. The movie (X-men)was so perfect that you actually felt like you were reading the comic books, watching the cartoons, or playing the games! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title

Summary: Great Marvel Superhero Film
Review: Even though I'm no fan of Ben Affleck's acting ability he does a good job in this movie. Ben plays blind attorney Matt Murdock who defends the underdog. Jennifer Garner(his love interest in the movie) also puts on a good performance as Elektra. Colin Farrell stirs up some trouble as the psychopathic hitman Bullseye. Great action sequences and fight scenes. I bet any superhero fan will enjoy this latest offering from Marvel.

Summary: well done
Review: I guess Im not exactly a purist when it comes to a movie like Daredevil since I don't mind movies that are different from the comics, but I do like comic movies that draw from existing ideas about the characters. That's why I like Daredevil. The writers used the comics and animated stories as source material and I was impressed with their research into the character. The origin is different from the book, but true to the one given in the animated Spiderman. They didn't just take the name Daredevil and fudge the rest of it, but they really investigated Daredevil's various histories. Nice job!

Summary: Mediocre in general, horrible to the PURISTS
Review: First of all, I'm a little disappointed with this movie... Scratch that... I was completely disappointed with it... The Origin was NOT accurate with the comic book, as Daredevil lost his sight saving an old man from a truck in the comic books. Additionally, his father's name and boxing nickname was "Battling" Jack Murdock, not "the devil." Daredevil's nickname came from the neighborhood kids who used to call him that MOCKINGLY because he was such a frightened, timid little kid. Also, there was little to no mention of Karen Page, Daredevil's secretary and original love interest, Elektra wasn't originally murdered because of her father's involvement with the Kingpin, but really because of her own (Bullseye wanted revenge from her for taking his job as Kingpin's #1 assassin). Now, for the positives. I hate Ben Affleck movies, in general, but his attempt to portray Daredevil was fantastic. The lighting and mood of the movie were good, and the subtle little items were good, such as the use of Classic Daredevil (and/or marvel) creators as character names in the movie (bendis, mack, quesada, Kirby, etc), and the cameos of Daredevil writers Kevin Smith, Stan "the Man" Lee, and Frank Miller (watch the scene where Bullseye steals a motorcycle, but don't blink... you'll miss him). The other little details are also great... Foggy was cast perfectly, and I'll admit that Jennifer Garner IS good with the Sais, even though I don't think I like her as Elektra. Overall, this movie makes me think they treated it with the "second-tier Spiderman" treatment, in that it's a very similar style of adaptation, and less believable then the Spiderman movie. I'm not completely disappointed by it (I bought it and haven't put it up for sale on Amazon or Ebay), but wasn't as happy as I could have been (I'm just too much of a purist... I didn't like the Spiderman movie all that much either). If you liked the Spiderman movie and aren't a complete purist, then you should love this movie... the story and plot follow close enough to the comic book to make it a fun little watch.

Summary: worth a look
Review: Daredevil isn't flawless, but it's not bad. There's a lot to like in this movie. The way Daredevil grows from taking the law into his own hands to being more heroic makes for an entertaining movie. The development from killer to hero is interesting stuff for a supehero movie and it's dealt with very well. That and the extras earn it a B+.

Summary: great evolution from vigilante to hero
Review: i give daredevil three and stars, but the bonus disc and extras earn it four stars. the movie isn't bad and the extras make it even better. the way daredevil went from vigilante to hero in the movie is a plus. why would a mask just instantly make somebody super moral? it was great that the movie dealt with that and had the hero evolve instead of just putting on the mask and being an upstanding do gooder. not a bad movie.

Summary: Horrible!
Review: I can't write an completely spoiler free review, so be warned: A *defense* lawyer, in the second scene in this film is prosecuting a rapist. Deciding that vigilante justice is needed, he kills the man for date raping a woman he doesn't know. Rough justice, but it's a movie, right? So why does his character refuse to kill the man who murdered *his own father*? Because, Afflect says, "He's the hero." Skip this movie. They don't get any worse.

Summary: good movie
Review: Daredevil really does it for me. It really hits the spot. I like that it's a double disc set with lots of good extras too. Affleck is different than I was used to seeing. He's vulnerable, but a fighter. He's a complex guy, but not too hard to relate too and that's interesting from a super guy. Jen Garner is beautiful as always and there are groovy villians. I really enjoyed the baddies here more than any villians since Nicholson's Joker. It's a great pairing of two different types of evil putting together the insane and wild Bullseye and the imposing yet cool Kingpin. I loved a ton of stuff in this movie. The old lady on the plane cracked me up and Ben's dental scene...!! The subway part knocked my socks off and the lead up to the rooftop meeting of Bullseye, Elektra, and Daredevil was tense and exciting. I could go on and on! I'm not sure what the people that hated this wanted, but this hits the spot when I've got a jones for an action movie.

Summary: pleasantly watchable
Review: there are a lot worse ways to spend a few hours than watching daredevil. fine cast, cool characters, memorable moments, good dvd extras, and great soundtrack. not quite up there with other recent comic movies since daredevil is an odd hero and comic, but a cool way to spend time in front of the t.v. from time to time.
