Summary: Uh.....
Review: mediocre movie, excellent DVD...2 stars for the movie, and 4 stars for the DVD presentation, which is fascinating and informative into the process of translating material to the screen, and will give you more appreciation for the end product. It's just a shame that the film tried to cram so much into it's length...the origin story, the entire romance angle, and the kingpin feud severely give the movie a choppy feel... add fake CGI, a very poor soundtrack and some horribly-scripted dialogue, and it's hard to rate this movie well, despite some inspired acting and memorable fight scenes. still, there are worse ways to kill a couple of hours...and the DVD extras are worthwhile...

Summary: Under-rated for sure
Review: I think watching this film at the theaters is worth your time and money. Now I will give you my opionion on the DVD wide-screen release. Considering all the extras included in the set, I think it makes for a good buy. Not GREAT but definitely worthy of your hard earnd $ if you factor in the behind-the-scenes footage of the film and the history behind the Daredevil saga.
I think Jennifer Garner radiates as Electra not only in her beauty, but her brawn. She kicks butt in this flick and Collin Farrel is a convincing pysco. Weather you're a Ben Afflect fan or not, very few could've pulled off the title character as he did and being a comic book fan, I liked his portrayal.

Summary: Great screen adaptation of a comic book legacy
Review: Boasting an all-star cast, killer soundtrack, an amazing DVD, Daredevil truly delivers on all cylinders here. Ben Affleck plays Matt Murdock, a man who was blinded in an accident as a child, and because of this incident, his other senses adapted and grew stronger than sight. By day, he is a lawyer in a business with college friend Foggy Nelson (Jon Favreau); by night, he is a vigilante seeking justice through any means--the Man Without Fear, Daredevil. Ben Urich (Joe Pantoliano) is a reporter who is seeking the scoop on Daredevil, and believes he is not just a New York urban legend, but a true vigilante. Matt's life changes when Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner, the hottest actress on Earth), steps into his life, becoming Matt's girlfriend. Unfortunately, Elektra's father has just stepped out of connections with the crimelord Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan), and Kingpin hires an Irish assassin with perfect aim, Bullseye (Colin Farrell) to kill Mr. Natchios. This all leads to chaos, and when things go awry Matt and Elektra must seek justice in their own ways, against the evil Bullseye and Kingpin. Bringing to life another of Stan Lee's fantastic Marvel Comics creations, Daredevil is an amazing movie with a good score by Graeme Ravell (The Negotiator) and soundtrack with such bands as Fuel, Drowning Pool featuring Rob Zombie, and Evanescence (this movie really got them off the ground). The only thing I have to fret is casting Duncan as the Kingpin. Nothing against Mr. Duncan or black people, but the Kingpin is a huge, hulking Caucasian man, fat, not muscular. They should've kept it that way. But I thought he played the part given to perfection. Garner, of Alias fame, is also amazing as Elektra and may be one of the best parts of the movie alone. The action scenes are also tremendous, and the "radar" Daredevil possesses is greatly brought to screen. The impressive 2-disc DVD collection brings the picture quality in 2.35:1, and audio soundtracks in Dolby Digital 5.1 & DTS 5.1, both amazing soundtracks. With plenty of bonus features to keep a comic book geek like me busy, this film truly delivers and is worth a buy.

Summary: When's the superhero thing going to end?
Review: Ok, I'll grant that in the end, it came out alright. However, even the comic book wasn't all that cool. Watch this movie if you haven't seen Spiderman or X-men since those are the good superhero movies. At least it's better than the Hulk. However, so is cutting my arm off.
Rating:
Summary: killer stuff, but edited down
Review: Daredevil is pretty good, but they cut way too much out to get a PG-13 and to keep it short so they could get it on more movie screens and make more money opening weekend. The movie is thus good, but uneven as a result. Plenty of killer moments, and a great cast make this version definitely worth watching, but the coming Directors Cut will be much better and I can't wait.

Summary: Really Not That Good.
Review: "Daredevil" looked awesome in the preview as did "Spiderman" and
"X-Men" however they turned out to be good,this however wasn't that great.Daredevil stars Ben Affleck as Matt Murdock a blind lawyer who takes revenge on people who get away with crimes.Told in flash backs is the way he became blind and how he has super powers to see due to sound,but one day he "sees" a woman named Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner) who's father is a billionaire.
Elektra also happens to be pretty dang good with weapons.But another thing that will annoy comic book lovers is the fact that in the comic The Kingpin is a large FAT white man,in the movie
Kingpin is a large,but not fat black man although Michael Clarke Duncan does quite well in the role.The other villain is Bullseye an irish man who never misses a shot and is played awesomely by
Colin Farrell in his first big movie of 2003.Now the movie isn't that bad the first time you see it and supplys a few jumps but it doesn't manage to hit the target.I give the movie a C+ and the acting a B-.

Summary: Thank you Mark Steven Johnson
Review: Daredevil is a good comic book movie. Mark Steven Johnson is still finding his way as a film maker, but his dedication to Daredevil can be seen in every frame of the movie and that's very appealing to me. I'm sure there are a lot of things he wishes he could have done better, but there's still a lot to like about this movie. I wont fill up to much space trying to explain it to those who don't get the appeal. Frank Zappa once said "It's simply this. Either you get it or you don't." Roger Ebert saw Daredevil and he gets it too.

Summary: no artistic integrity
Review: Real artisits aren't in it for currency. Superhero and hobbit movies are made to fill the pg-13 CGI nitch and make money. Spiderman was awful, X Men was retarded, The Hulk was a bad effect, and now this is about a character who can't even see! It's all about the money and not art.
Don't buy into it.

Summary: What's to like?
Review: Daredevil is empty, and silly. Of course, you'd expect that from a movie that has a laughably bad fight/dance sequence involving Ben Affleck. Yes, you heard right. I was tempted to yell out, "Hey! They're break dance fighting!" Of course, I didn't. Daredevil has plot that is mush--predictable when it ought to be surprising, dull when it ought to be exciting, and funny when it never really intends to be. Ain't that a recipe for disaster? I won't spend more time dissecting it because it just isn't worth it. It represents the inevitable: Bland corporate types seeing the Spiderman and X-Men money machines and wanting to cash in with uncreative drivel. "Find me a superhero! From Marvel if you can! And get the Sexiest Guys on Earth to star!! That's the ticket." Don't make the same mistake I made. Don't waste a good two hours.

Summary: an entertaining enough superhero movie
Review: Daredevil is a good comic book movie with some great moments. Affleck is better than I thought he'd be, Garner is beautiful, Duncan is great as Kingpin and Colin is fun. Some say David Keith's character was totally wrong, but that's how his character is in other versions of the story. Check out the Spiderman Vs Daredevil DVD. How DD goes blind is the same in that version as in the movie so they drew from existing DD lore.
The fight between Elektra and Bullseye was right out of the comic! Unlike some, I don't think waiting ten years before Bullseye and Elektra's big scene would have been too practical and don't mind that they gave it to us up front. I can't wait for the Elektra movie! I also thought that scenes like the return of DD's strength in the church was the type of superhero stuff that has a place in a superhero movie, and liked the way DD heard Ben's car with his super hearing and used it. It didn't contradict DD's scene with the Kingpin at all.
The movie paints with a broad brush Murdock having fun with his powers more than he should if he want's to keep his secret identity, but DD's secret identity has been revealed in the comic and he always shared his identity with too many people anyway. The playground scene was so much like the one with DD and Echo in the comics and I thought it was so over the top it was fun. Stan Lee often made things over the top.
Ben Urich, Bullseye, and the Kingpin may not look identical to the characters in the comics, but that's often the case when comic books are turned into movies. I wish the DD costume had been a tiny bit closer to the comic book type, but it wasn't bad. According to the DVD DD almost ended up wearing a sweat shirt with a hood and some of the other costumes tried are awful! The director makes it clear he wanted the comic styled costume and even put in a reason for DD to button the top button of his movie costume towards the end of the film so he could look even closer to the way he does in the comic and I thought that was clever.
There's room for improvement, but Daredevil is a good superhero movie. I'll be in line for DD2 and look forward to an Elektra movie. Amazon also has Spiderman Vs Daredevil and DD's best comic adventures too.
