Daredevil
Advantages: Good stunts, nice visuals
Disadvantages: Simplistic plot.
...the air. He is a daredevil simply because he has no fear, and therefore jumps amazing distances technically blindfolded. The film was mildly entertaining. The back-story was well done and Ben Affleck played the leading role reasonably well. I in particular liked the sets. Things like the lack of colour in his living quarters really made sense, since as a blind man he wouldn't see the colours. There were a few decent action scenes too, and the effects ...
...really very nice. It also sets things up for the next movie 'Elektra', which to be honest was pretty awful. It had a nice satisfying if not happy ending, and the whole film felt polished, which was nice. Not bad, the sort of thing to watch when it's on on ITV. ...

Daredevil, Sexy Superhero Lacks Comic Effect
Advantages: Impressive Cast, Good Outfits and Action Scenes
Disadvantages: Lacklustre Lovestory, Too Few Gadgets
...their leather outfits. The Daredevil story line however isnt great, as it focuses on a kid who is bullied alot (I cant imagine Affleck being bullied) who is blinded when struck by a vat of chemicals on a construction site where his father formerly worked. He naturally develops super powers to go with his blindness and so decides to use this to avenge his fathers death ( a champion boxer who refused to throw a fight). He is met by some powerful figures ...
...both with their own unexplained superpowers. The settings are suitably bold and gloomy such as the evening cityscapes and gothic cathedrals which are also well used for the excellent action sequences. Farrell in particular steals the film as a particularly vicious skinhead hitman with a bad temper and a deadly throwing arm. The love affair between Affleck and Garner is a let down and evokes very little emotion. The main problem is that both suit ...

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen/Daredaveil
Advantages: Intriguing characters and wonderful spcial effects.
Disadvantages: You are left wanting to see more.
I have watched League of Extraordinary Gentlemen many times and have never tired of the intriguing characters and each of their 'special' traights. Or indeed the special effects; especially those of ' The Nautilus', makes me wish I could see it first hand for myself. If, like me, you grew up reading Marvel comics then watching Daredevil will be like re-newing an old friendship. It reminds me of the stories I once read and is also an enjoyable film. ...

Sympathy for the (Dare)Devil
Advantages: Good action, Jennifer Garner in tight leather, cool soundtrack
Disadvantages: Jennifer Garner trying to act, Affleck's chin, some of the acting is a little bit cheesy!
...chemicals getting in his eyes, Daredevil relies on sonar-like reflexes, using movement to target his enemies.
During the film Daredevil meets Elektra (Jennifer Garner) who becomes an ally in his fight against evil, and who helps the Daredevil try to bring down his nemesis, Michael Clarke Duncan's Kingpin (who killed her parents), and his deadly assassin, Bullseye (Colin Farrell).
Overall, Daredevil is a solid action/superhero film, with some great ...
...Hell's Kitchen: The Making of Daredevil which is an enjoyable behind-the-scenes featurette looking at the making of the film with various insight from, and interviews with, director Mark Steven Johnson and Affleck et al. Oh, there is also a gag reel as a hidden Easter Egg.
Daredevil is one of those films that warrants a return visit. You know what it's like: You watched it upon release, either in the cinema or rented and, let's be honest, you weren't ...

I don't want to miss a Bay
Advantages: Bang, crash wallop what a picture
Disadvantages: The Cheesiest Trailer I've ever seen. Buscemi Deleted scene. girlfriend on the sideline sydrome
...The Review The Film Armageddon arrived on our screens as one of the two big meteor pictures of 1998. The other being Deep impact. This was the action movie version rather than the dramatic version that deep impact was. It was third of the (currently) five film run from Michael Bay and high octane producer Jerry Bruckheimer. It was also their first outing without the late Don Simpson. The film is definitely designed to be fun rather than serious despite ...
...no time setting up character instead it goes straight in the destruction of the Chrysler Building in New York. It then follows this later in the movie with attacks on various world cities including the total destruction of Paris. The performances are universally great in this movie. Not only do we have Willis turning in one of his everyday hero performances we also have Coen Regulars Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare. John Carpenter regular Keith ...
