Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Daredevil (DVD)
Advantages: Impressive Cast, Good Outfits and Action Scenes Disadvantages: Lacklustre Lovestory, Too Few Gadgets
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 their roles fine physically but lack the larger than life personality that I think would help in a comic book role...why in these movies does the hero always have to be dull? Affleck seems to take his role a bit seriously and in reality he could have done with more gadgets and gizmos at his disposal to make up for his lack of vision and played the role a bit more tongue and cheek.
This is the DirectorsCut version with 30mins extra footage. It also ...
Advantages: Lots of Marvel heroes Disadvantages: Elektra is not a great film
sees a young Matt Murdock blinded as a child only to have his remaining senses functioning at increased levels enabling him the resource?s he need's to become the crime fighting vigilante known as Daredevil. With his alter ego Daredevil fights to take down the King Pin, the most ruthless criminal in all of Hell's Kitchen.
Good film for what it is. It's no X-men or Spiderman but it is nevertheless and an enjoyable comic film. The director?scut allows for more action and even another character.
Elektra
This film sees the return of Daredevil's Elektra, who, it seems, has risen from the grave. Now she's back and is doing what she knows best, assassination contracts. Her life takes an interesting turn when she meets a young girl with interesting fighting capabilities.
This film is certainly the weakest in the bunch, it has some good ...
Two features. In 'Daredevil' Matthew Murdoch blinded in an accident after being covered in a radioactive substance now has the ability to be completely aware of everything that is going on around him. He puts his special powers to good use as a crime fighter... Plus 'Elektra'.
