Summary: This got a bad rap
Review: This movie was a lot better then I expected (just goes to show you that you cant always trust what reviewers have to say). I watched this with my wife and son and all three of us enjoyed it. True it was a little silly in parts but it was a lot more believeable then say "Charlies Angels" or "The Hulk". This was a fun movie to watch and unlike a lot of movies in this genre I never got bored watching it. It had some very nice camera work and some really good special effects as well as some of the most interesting villains Ive ever seen.

Summary: Pretty good action picture based on a comic book hero
Review: Daredevil is a more satisfying comics based action movie than I had expected. Like all Marvel heroes, he is troubled and battles his internal demons as much as he fights the bad guys (in fact, they all have more success with the bad guys than their personal problems). This movie has a pervasive sense of loss even greater than Spiderman or Hulk. Ben Affleck is pretty good as the sightless hero who aches over his murdered father (very well played by David Keith). Jennifer Garner is beautiful and athletic - a fine choice for Elektra Natchios. The rain effects that allow Daredevil (Murdock / Affleck) to "see" her are neat and touching (although one does wonder why wind currents wouldn't do the same thing). I also enjoyed Colin Farrel as Bullseye and Michael Clark Duncan as The Kingpin. It does seem to me that the whole conflict with Kingpin is a bit underdone. The big fight in the movie is with Bullseye, but he is just a paid assassin. Daredevil has an even greater reason to hate Kingpin and yet that fight is fairly simple and over in a few minutes. Jon Favreau is terrific as Murdock's law partner and comic foil and Derrick O'Connor adds a lot as Murdock's priest, confessor, and father figure. Joe Pantoliano is always good, and here he plays the smart reporter who is trying to figure Daredevil out. Good acting. All of this could have been so much less than it ended up being, but the quality of acting adds some depth to these characters that makes it more enjoyable. My youngest son wants there to be a Daredevil II and I wouldn't mind seeing it with him.

Summary: Worth Owning!
Review: This well-cast movie packs a lot of story into one film. I remember growing up that Daredevil was always different than other comics after all what other hero was sightless? Also, the artwork of Gene Colon was much more like the artwork of the Dark Knight versions of Batman that come out in the mid-80's. The movie had the same feel. It was a heck of a lot better than the Val Kilmer/George Clooney Batman films but nowhere near the Spiderman movie. As in the comic, Matt Murdock grew up in Hell's Kitchen in lower Manhattan. His father was a fighter that went against a mob boss and decided not to throw a fight. He winds up murdered as a result. Matt is involved in a street accident where some radioactive waste gets in his eyes, removing his sight highly enhancing his other senses. Matt graduates law school and becomes a Legal-aid lawyer for the people of the neighborhood with his pal Foggy Nelson. The neighborhood crime is being controlled by a powerful mob boss nicknamed, The Kingpin. Matt, using his enhanced abilities trains himself to become a masked vigilante named Daredevil who tries to thwart the Kingpin's activities (the Kingpin was behind Matt's father's murder). With his business seriously wounded, Kingpin employs a hired assassin called Bullseye. Bullseye can make a weapon out of any object by throwing it with pinpoint accuracy at his intended victim. Matt meanwhile meets a Greek heiress named Electra. The two begin dating. During a business squabble the Kingpin has Bullseye kill Electra's father, causing her to become a vigilante herself set on getting revenge. There is one corny scene where Matt and Electra mix it up in a battle in a children's playground. It looked like the director wanted to just throw in a scene from The Matrix. I don't want to give too much more of the film away, but if you had followed the storyline in the comics you probably know how the film will turn out. I know I highly enjoyed this film. Colin Farrell is phenomenal as Bullseye and Jennifer Garner looks hot as Electra. The actor who plays Kingpin has been in a lot of movies lately and he had to gain weight to play a convincing Kingpin, which he does well. The movie will probably not appear to smaller children because of the blood and violence but anyone that liked The Matrix films should really like this one! It is one of the films that is better to own than rent because you can watch it over and over.

Summary: Bullseye!!
Review: From a purely realistic perspective there's plenty of gripe about in Daredevil. It's often wildly improbable, but then it's not supposed to be a documentary even if it is more real than the one's Michael Moore makes. This is a fantasy movie. I grew up reading Daredevil in the 60's when Marvel was still young and Stan Lee, Ray Harryhausen, Irwin Allen, and Hammer Horror provided me with plenty of escapism even if all the elements weren't always logical. There's plenty of fantastic and totally improbable and impossible moments in Daredevil, but fantastic off the wall stuff in comics is nothing new. Superman fooled em all with a pair of glasses. Radiation does not turn you into a rock man, an invisible girl, a human torch, or make you stretch like a rubber band. I could go on all day. The computer effects in Daredevil aren't as good as they could have been, but at my age I used to be asked to believe that pie pans were flying saucers so I don't mind. Settle back with some quality popcorn and give Daredevil a try if you 'get' this type of movie. I'm very glad I purchased it for my DVD collection along with The Crow, The Rocketeer, The Shadow, and Spider-Man.

Summary: Worse than Gigli
Review: Okay Ben Affleck, no more movies for you. This movie was horrendous. No, I'm not a fan of the comics, and wouldn't want to be after realizing this is such a dull super hero. Ben Affleck is terrible, as always. Jennifer Garner, who only looks like she does on the cover after she gets mad, fights a bunch of sand bags that miraculously fall from her ceiling and goes out and almost gets instantly killed by Bullseye. (so I heard she's not really dead, I just hope there's not a sequel so I can find out) The effects were so AWFUL. Does anyone realize that CG effects are almost never well done? (Except in LOTR and anything that Spielberg uses them in) And the character of Daredevil...so when you're blind you can jump real high? Yeah don't waste you money.

Summary: an entertaining comic book rollercoaster
Review: Daredevil is a pretty good. It has a good cast and, despite the cheesy CGI, I like it a lot. The characters and out of this world action keep things moving at a brisk pace. There are plenty of comic book inspired moments of fantasy, tragedy, romance, and humor. The movie may not have the depth or the slow pacing some would prefer, but this isn't the English Patient. Daredevil is an acceptable movie equivalent to a comic book and it packs plenty of punch.It's fast paced, and maybe too much happens too quickly, but it's never dull and entertains. Not the best movie ever, but far from the worst.

Summary: Great DVD, but OK menus
Review: I bought Daredevil without having seen it in the theater and really enjoyed the movie since I was expecting a comic book style Daredevil movie with plenty of action and wasn't expecting Shakespeare. Im very impressed with this two disc set I just wish the menus weren't supposed to look like Daredevil's 'vision'. Better menus would have been nicer, but that's my one gripe since the extras are awesome and there's great behind the scenes stuff and informative interviews with various artists and writers of the comic. If you are an action/comic fan with reasonable expectations this is a set well worth purchasing.

Summary: Worst movie ever!
Review: I cannot believe there are acutally people out there who liked this movie! This has to be the worst movie ever made. When the movie first began, his childhood story seemed really well done but as the movie continued it just went from bad to worse. I can't believe anyone could sit through the entire movie, I turned it off within 30 minuets and that was torture enough!

Summary: Daredevil
Review: I saw this movie in the theatre and was not happy with it. I bought the DVD for my husband and I gave it a second viewing thinking maybe I'd like it the second time around. It only convinced me of what a waste of about 2 hours it was. The scenes are rushed, the story weak. I hated the whole Murdock/Electra romance. It was WAY TOO RUSHED!!!!! Even the way he met her and their duel just so he could get her name was extremely stupid and pointless. Then, the second time he meets her, they end up in bed together! YIKES! There was NO character development and the whole movie was rushed. Even the Kingpin/Daredevil face-off left something to be desired. The only saving factor was Bullseye. Done the right way, this movie could have been great. I was bored to tears seeing this in the theatre and seeing it again on DVD only re-enforced my opinion. I absolutely hate this movie and would not recommend buying the DVD. rent it, but do not buy it.

Summary: damn good
Review: Despite choppy moments Daredevil is a awesome comic book movie. I look forward to the director's cut. I didn't mind it that they put in so many comic book characters and thought that kept it exciting. I also liked the soundtrack a lot. Hopefully the director's cut wil be even more kick ass.
