Movie Reviews of Daredevil (Full Screen Edition)Movie Review: i'm a long time fan and i'm very happy with this movie Summary: 5 Stars
Daredevil has always been my favorite comic book hero, but all the bad reviews made fear for the worst. Roger Ebert thought it was good so that had me wondering just how Daredevil the movie would really be. Fearing the worst I rented it. Have no fear!I've been a Daredevil fan for years and I'm very pleased with Daredevil the DVD. A lot of the negative reviews attack things that can be found in the classic Daredevil comics. The movie is silly at times like those great comic books of the past. I actually think that was a good move. The gymnastics are often not realistic, but that's how Daredevil comics were. There's no character named Stick in the movie, but there wasn't any character called Stick in the classic Daredevil comics. Daredevil trained himself. Stick appeared decades later and if they have him appear later in the movies that'll be perfect. Elektra mentions how she recieved her training, but I guess a lot of people missed it from the reviews on here. It's in my copy of the DVD. Daredevil the DVD worked for me!
Summary of Daredevil (Full Screen Edition)For Daredevil, justice is blind, and for the guilty?there's hell to pay! Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner ignite dangerous sparks and nonstop thrills in this "dazzling action-adventure" (The Film Journal) about the newest breed of superhero. By day, blind attorney Matt Murdock (Affleck) toils for justice in Hell's Kitchen. By night, he's Daredevil, The Man Without Fear - a powerful, masked vigilante stalking the dark streets with an uncanny "radar sense" that allows him to "see" with superhuman capabilities. But when the love of his life, fiery Elektra Natchios (Garner), is targeted by New York City's ruthless Kingpin of crime (Michael Clarke Duncan) and his deadly assassin Bullseye (Colin Farrell), Daredevil may be about to meet his match. Darker than its popular comic-book predecessor Spider-Man, the $80 million extravaganza Daredevil was packaged for maximum global appeal, its juvenile plot beginning when 12-year-old Matt Murdock is accidentally blinded shortly before his father is murdered. Later an adult attorney in New York's Hell's Kitchen, Murdock (Ben Affleck) uses his remaining, superenhanced senses to battle crime as Daredevil, the masked and vengeful "man without fear," pitted against dominant criminal Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan) and the psychotic Bullseye (Colin Farrell), who can turn almost anything into a deadly projectile. Daredevil is well matched with the dynamic Elektra (Jennifer Garner), but their teaming is as shallow as the movie itself, which is peppered with Marvel trivia and cameo appearances (creator Stan Lee, Clerks director and Daredevil devotee Kevin Smith) and enough computer-assisted stuntwork to give Spidey a run for his money. This is Hollywood product at its most lavishly vacuous; die-hard fans will argue its merits while its red-leathered hero swoops and zooms toward a sequel. --Jeff Shannon
