Summary: Worth Seeing
Review: This movie was absolutely genius.The movie is the next movie in the Marvel movie series and everyone is perfectly cast.
Ben Affleck is Matt Murdock.A blind attorney by day,but by night a vengeful superhero.Jennifer Garner is cast as Elektra Natchios,
Murdocks girlfriend.When her Dad is killed by Bullseye (played to perfection by Colin Farrell) she blames Daredevil and a becomes a vengeful woman out to kill the superhero.The Kingpin played by Academy-Award Nominee Michael Clarke Duncan does an amazing job as the feared villian.All in all the movie is a perfect example of what a superhero movie should be.
Bottom Line:
Don't Be Scared of a Devil

Summary: Another bad choice for Affleck...and you
Review: Right there at the bottom of the Comic-book-turned-movie heap. Slow and unexciting, only two things make the movie worth watching...Colin Farrell as "Bullseye," who adds energy everytime he's on camera, and Jennifer Garner who adds real sparks. But just as she starts to gain your interest - she's gone! Ben Affleck apparently thinks being blind means walking through scenes like a zombie (sort of like his performance in Pearl Harbor!) Even the action sequences are enervated by the jumpy, dark (and boring) effects trying to show Daredevil's auditory bat sense.There are also some tremendous "suspension-of-disbelief" howlers, and the climactic fight scene is truly weak and anticlimactic...designed only to set up a sequel. Now if the sequel could feature a resurrected Jennifer Garner it might be worthwhile. Buy it and watch it? Only if the only thing on television is another insipid "reality" show!

Summary: Not My Cup of Tea
Review: I originally expected more from the movie "Daredevil", but as I watched it I realized that this film was an attempt to cash in on the comic-book-becomes-a-movie craze. I will admit that there are some moments in the film that were pretty good, like the fight sequences between Affleck's and Garner's characters. Other than that, I didn't really find the movie all that interesting. The ubiquitous Colin Farrell gives an odd performance as Bullseye, a killer who never misses his mark. After a while I became a little annoyed with his character's fidgeting. I wanted to grab him by the shoulders and just tell him to be still! I also was not impressed by Michael Clarke Duncan's performace as Kingpin. Duncan usually always gives a great performance in his other work, but it seemed as though he was merely cast in this film because of his size and the fact that he can be scary just by taking off his jacket. Ben Affleck gave a sympathetic performance as Murdock/Daredevil, but most of the time he seemed mostly wooden. All in all, I would suggest this film to comic book buffs who like a good dose of action from their favorite stories. All others can skip this one.

Summary: Boring
Review: Daredevil was a boring movie to watch. The dialogue was cheesy and there was no chemistry between any of the characters. This movie looked like it was just thrown together. It didn't flow very well. I am not a big Ben Affleck fan, but he is not what made this movie so bad, it was the writing. When I watched Spider-man I got really into his character and you can feel his every emotion, but in Daredevil I could care less. He didn't pull me into the movie at all. And when Elektra dies I didn't feel sad or sorry for Matt Murdock because their was no real chemistry between them. The writing could have been much better. And when Daredevil and Kingpin finally meet there was absolutely no intensity what so ever.

Summary: A dark more real hero
Review: This is the best hero movie since the first two Batman films. There is nothing lolly-pop about it. The hero has problems, some of which the movie only hinted at. And Evanescence's singer Amy Lee's voice matches the dark tone perfectly. Can't wait for the next one, and for the spin off "Electra"

Summary: Needed some work
Review: The film Daredevil is the first in a string of comic book movies hoping to cash in on the success of Spider-man and X-men. While it could've been a very good film some major points hold it back. Ben Affleck stars as Matt Murdock, a lawyer blinded at the age of 12 from some acid. While he can't see, he has more power in his remaining four senses. He soon meets Elektra (Jennifer Garner) who he falls in love with. Soon after Daredevil runs into Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan) who wants Elektra's father dead by an assassin named Bullseye (Colin Farrell) The film has some major flaws though. The fights aren't as polished as they should be, the characters (Everyone of them except Daredevil) needed some major character development done, and finally, the dialogue sounds corny. If the rest of the comic-book movies are like this I don't want to see them

Summary: Better than I had given it credit for
Review: When I first saw Daredevil months ago in theaters, I bashed it as much as I could. The idea of taking such a great comic character and trying to package it for global appeal just really grated my nerves. However, after watching it for a second time, I have come to grown a bit of a liking for it. Ben Affleck isn't bad at all as Matt Murdock who is lawyer by day and Daredevil by night. Jennifer Garner is nicely cast as Elektra, and Colin Farrell nearly steals the entire film as Bullseye. Director/screenwriter Mark Steven Johnson is a self admitted fan of the Daredevil comic (as is star Affleck) and it shows; the showdown between Elektra and Bullseye is almost directly taken from the classic issue of Daredevil #181, plus Marvel comics trivia knowledge is peppered all throughout the film, plus cameos from Marvel icon Stan Lee, writer Kevin Smith (yes, it's Silent Bob himself who goes by the name Jack Kirby in the film, named after another Daredevil alumnus), and the man who forever re-defined the comic series (and whose run on the series the film is seemingly mostly based from) Frank Miller. While Daredevil does have it's share of good qualities, the film seems to have an uneven flow sometimes, Michael Clarke Duncan is miscast as the Kingpin (and no, it's not because he's black), the computer generated visual effects seem half heartedly put together, and the way the film ends just opens the door for a sequel and an Elektra spin off. All that aside however, Daredevil didn't deserve all the bashing I gave it earlier, and longtime fans of the comic will appreciate most of the heart that went into the film, but might not like the complete package. The DVD itself is nicely put together and the bonus featurettes featuring interviews with Stan Lee, Frank Miller, Brian Michael Bendis, Kevin Smith, and others is a must watch for long time Daredevil fans as well.

Summary: The KINGPIN of bad movies.
Review: ...Every super hero cliche is used to groan inducing effect, from the tired "hero" pulling out a broken tooth after battle to not killing the main villian because of the scales of "justice," a term used about thirty times too many during running time. Watching DAREDEVIL is like watching a montage of BATMAN, THE CROW, and SPIDER-MAN, but just the uninspired scenes. The violent and clever comic book (especially episodes written by visionary FRANK MILLER) has been pillaged to a degree of crime. ELEKTRA is suppose to be thirty-something exotic assassin (think MONICA BELLUCI) not a nineteen year old boy. The characterization in this rubbish is non-existant, and the acting even worse. I don't know if it was the script (if one existed) or COLIN FERRELL who turned BULLSEYE into a silly psychotic goofball. There are soooo many goofy things in this flick, from the kid using MATRIX-style flipkicks to chase away bullies to the intelligence devouring playground fight (the highlight of how incredibly bad this movie is, ...If I could have given DAREDEVIL negitive stars I would've...

Summary: Entertaining, but not that great...
Review: This movie is entertaining and is good enough to pass time with, but I just didn't really care for this one that much. I love Ben and Jennifer G. but the movie just seemed OFF...like it was quickly thrown together. The dialogue was very so-so. The witty comments attempted are just so common that its no longer "witty". I also think certain characters were a waste of time...such as Ben's lawyer-friend sidekick. He's there for laughs, but I wasn't laughing. Plus, I HATED the way Jen and Ben meet. He's so anxious to find out this woman's name that he chases after her for really no reason and then they engage in a fight slash dance scene that was sooooo cheesy. I was expecting music from "Flashdance" and "Fame" to pop on anytime. The main villain...NOT scary. I had absolutely no feelings for the character whatsoever. They didn't really spend much time exploring that character. I'm not familiar with the comic book. I was more of a DC comics person growing up (though I LOVED the spider-man movie!). You should wait for this movie to come to HBO or something. Its really not worth the hype...unless you're a fan of the character.

Summary: One of the better Super-hero flicks.
Review: Not a big DD fan growing up, I didn't have much to lose by seeing this movie, and I doubt that most Hardcore Daredevil fans took this flick on the chin as they walked out.
Daredevil bring's the viewer up to speed in a logical way, throwing you into Matt Murdoch's life with a working knowledge of who he is and how he got there. Affleck sells the role and looks the part, walking that line between exhuberance and tragedy that Murdock/Daredevil is known for.
Jennifer Garner is a blast as Elektra with an extremly dynamic performance, and I enjoyed Colin Farrel as Bullseye much more than I ever liked the comic book character (however I haven't read the Kevin Smith scribed Trade Paperback, so the jury's still out.)
Michael Clark Duncan does an great job with the Kingpin. Wilson Fisk was always the baddest bald business man this side of Lex Luthor. As I remember the character from the comics, he was both smart and brutal, matching internally both his dignity and arrogance. Duncan proved he can pull off all the of Fisk's qualities given the opportunity. If the character were to turn up in one of the Spiderman sequels, I'd hope they'd stick with him.
Choreography, cinematography, special effects were all tight across the board. I never felt like the film was dragging (as I often felt with the comic book) and I was satisifed with the outcome. Cameo's by Joe Pantliano, Jon Favereau, and Kevin Smith are all well placed and not distracting from the course of the film.
I'm probably going to buy this film when I put some scratch together, and then curse the DVD gods when Daredevil 1.5 comes out right before the sequel.
