Movie Reviews of Daredevil (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)

Movie Review: Leaves you depressed but very well done
Summary: 5 Stars

Now, onto the actual production aspects. The concept of this computer-generated sense of hearing/sonar deal was done MASTERFULLY. And there's also the matter of the costume. The Daredevil costume looks SOO ugly. It's on my top ugly super-hero outfits list. And I'm sure it was hot and uncomfortable as anything. Especially his legs; they look the worst. Colin Ferrel is SOOO good. He's really amazing in this role. I mean REALLY! He should receive some kind of award for this; and it's a shame because the big awards are very rarely ever given to actors in Superhero flicks. Between his costuming and this cool motorcycle he's so cool. He has such incredible energy and flair for this role. You can tell that he's really taken this seriously. Jennifer Garner, another amazing visual sight. They have her with this long curly hair and these tight cute outfits and she's SO naturally beautiful. There's this fun fight scene between Murdock and Electra that's just wonderful. It's the only "fun" scene in the movie. There's nothing really terribly exciting about Affleck's performance. In fact, I think another actor might have improved the film. Now, don't get me wrong, he was very good and very dedicated. But I think maybe someone a little smaller. Also, Affleck is a very large man. He's gigantic. He's too big. No one is that big. Especially a super-hero. They're all normal sized. He's so large that he's almost clumsy. And it also occured to me that I'm sure all of these wonderful back-flips and stuff are done by a stunt double. Do I care? Yeah I kinda do. Was there no athletic agile actor that who we can at least think he did most of his own stunts? That's movie magic too. I'm sorry to be a Ben Affleck basher. He's actually one of my very favorite actors in Hollywood. But the role just left more to be desired. Michael Clark Duncan as the Kingpin is so fun. He's large and in-charge!

I would kill to see a Daredevil/Spiderman combo movie. And that's not such a bad idea. Don't they meet in the comic books? I believe they find out each other's identities and stuff. That would be sooo cool. They should actually do that! A Tobey Miguire Ben Affleck flick. They'd probably make it bad though. They always do that when it's exciting like that.

The film really is very good. It's extremely accurate and sure not to let fans down (unlike X-men -- DOCTOR Jean Grey? The messed-up Rogue story? hello?!!) Daredevil is definitely worth seeing. When it comes out on video I'm definitely renting, if not buying.
