Summary: the greatest superhero movie yet!
Review: This movie is awesome and the best superhero movie. When I first heard about the movie looked pretty cool and I went to see it in theaters and I loved it!I've never read the comics but it took my breath away! This movie is pretty much all intense and hardcore action. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes insane stunts, non stop action, and superheros.

Summary: Great comedy.....
Review: My little sister rented this movie cos she watches Alias. She said it was an action movie but I laughed so hard at it, I was convinced by the end that it was comedy. Wooden acting, predictable story with all the cliches and the worst offence in my opinion failed attempts to emulate HongKong kung fu films. Affleck and Garner fumble through every fight scene relying on editing to mask their ineptness. Just look at there playground confrontation, they are both sluggish and Affleck seems completely lost in the choreography. Stick with HongKong films, they have being making superior action flicks for like the last three decades. If you can read comic books, then subtitles shouldn't be a problem.

Summary: Good movie, great DVD!
Review: This is a pretty good adaptation of the Frank Miller run as artist/writer on the Daredevil comic book. Great cast, good action sequences and above average CGI effects combine to make this a comic book adaptation that general audiences can enjoy as much as comic fans. The special features are excellent. My favourite is the hour long series of interviews with the various writers and artists who have worked on the comic since its creation in the 1960s. It was great to see artist Gene Colan have his say as I have been a fan of his work since the mid-1970s. Equally interesting are the interviews with Frank Miller, Kevin Smith, John Romita and his son John Jr (a really great guy who I had the pleasure of meeting in the early 1990s). The obligatory making of documentary is well worth a look too, especially the early costume fittings and talk of uncertainty amongst studio executives about the look of Daredevil. Not the usual PR puff-piece and a good insight into the making of the film. There are loads of other worthy features, and the film itself ain't too shabby either...so take my advice and order this film now, true believers! Excelsior!

Summary: Suffers from a lack of identity.
Review: An awful lot of people spit blood. Even the hero wrenches a bloody loose tooth from his mouth after one bout of fisticuffs. Daredevil is an orthodontist's dream. But for fans of the comic book, Daredevil is more of a nightmare. Conceived initially as an adult flick, the R rating was trimmed to PG-13 before hitting theaters -- but still, the movie that remains is darker and more brutal than I expected from the optimistic Marvel hero. As is expected whenever Hollywood borrows a page from the comics, Daredevil is very different than his four-color counterpart. Filmmakers got the hypersenses right, but they also gave the hero the inexplicable agility, strength and acrobatic tendencies of last year's superhero blockbuster, Spider-Man. And, unlike the comic-book Daredevil, this one has fewer compunctions when it comes to killing bad guys. His moral code is shaky, his outlook cheerless. Director Mark Steven Johnson's take on Daredevil is meaner and moodier than Tim Burton's Batman.

Summary: Daredevil: Can't wait to get the DVD
Review: This movie worked for me. I've been reading comics since I could read; and the recent flood of comic book movies has been a great thrill for me and my brothers. Daredevil was never counted as one of Marvel's top comicbooks although it has been around for some 400 issues. When the movie came out I wondered how Affleck would do as Daredevil, and to be honest he didn't let me down. He was just dark enough to bring the feeling of angst and guilt to the audience but not so dark that he would come across as evil or crazy; he left that to the bad guys of the film. Speaking of which, Duncan (Kingpin) and Ferrel (Bullseye) did a fantastic job! The Kingpin had all the aura one would expect the leader of the mob to have and Bullseye was, well the psychopath that he was made to be in the comics. And to add to all the fun, Garner (Electra) does hot, sexy, stunning and awesome all in one fell swoop. I don't think anyone could have played Electra better. Combine all of these terrific efforts with a decent story and some outstanding effects and it comes out as a comic book fans dream...a comicbook come to life for two hours.

Summary: Surprisingly Memorable...And Potent
Review: Every few months it seems, marvel is releasling a movie adaptation of one of its classic comicbooks. This year, we have had (or will have) "X2," "The Hulk," and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." But buried beneath them, is "Daredeveil," a frenetic, eye-catching spectacle, but with enough heart and humor to help rise above it rumored shallowness. Key to the movies' success is Ben Affleck as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, who hits the right amount of brood and anger as "The Man with no Fear." I would say that "Daredevil" reasserted my confidence in Affleck as a good actor. As a boy, Matt Murdock is blinded by a chemical waste accident, but his other senses functioned at superhuman levels, more than making up for his lack of sight. As a man, he is a determined lawyer representing the downtrodden in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York. At night, he wages a secret war against crime as Daredevil, a red-leather clad superhero. His new enemy is the rumored Kingpin (an imposing Michael-Clark Duncan), one man who controls all the crime in New York. At his disposal, Kingpin has a legion of criminals, most dangerous is the gleefully evil Bullseye (a delicious Colin Farrel) who can turn any object into a lethal projectile. Caught up in the middle is Elecktra (a beautiful Jennifer Garner) who develops a relationship with Murdock and her doomed father (Erik Avari). Even though "Daredevil" is a satisfying action movie, it does leave room for improvement for its inevitable sequels. The characters could use a little more development, and the story could use a little tightening. Also, was the play-fight between Murdock and Elecktra in the playground necessary? I don't know. To me, it seemed a little shallow as it balantly goes for eye-filling candy, instead of a little substance. But other than that, "Daredevil" is a dark, lurid and satisfying action flick.

Summary: Extremely Faithful to The Comic
Review: I loved Daredevil. I loved the comic too, and even with some of the controversial decisions involved, such as hiring a black actor to play the Kingpin, I think this is the most faithful adaptation of a comic book to film so far. Daredevil has always been a darker more interesting character, and the filmmakers have really captured his spirit in this film. Ben Affleck actually does an admirable job and Jennifer Garner is spot on as elektra.

Summary: Fun, but disappointing and not true to the story
Review: I grew up with Daredevil. It was my favorite comic book since I read my very first issue which featured Bullseye, coincidently. I cannot tell you how excited I was for this movie to come out. But I was really disappointed. There were a lot of good thing. For instance, the movie did a very good job of showing you what Matt Murdock "sees". It was also good to have the three main characters from the comic book in the storyline. The Kingpin was portrayed faily well, Bullseye was WONDERFULLY done (he really hit the mark...), and Electra was okay (she didn't really seem to catch the spirit that the Electra from the comic book had). But what killed me was how wrong they got the story. When I saw how Matt went blind, all I could think was, "Oh, no. They couldn't have been more wrong!" What, did they think that the original story was just too unbelievable or something? I can see them discussing it now, "You know, we've got Ben Affleck running around in rubber supposedly blind as a bat but able to do backflips and jump roof to roof with the greatest of ease. But, come on, is anybody really going to believe that THIS is how he went blind?" COME ON!! If you are going to adapt a great story, how about sticking with what made it great. More can be said on this, but they didn't take too many liberties with Spider-man, and look how well they did. The story and plot didn't keep me too interested. The emotion between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner didn't leave me convinced. All in all, I wasn't that impressed with the movie. They had sooooo much potential and it seems to me that they really blew it. If they are going to trash such a good comic book, I really hope they don't make a sequel.
