Daredevil (Director's Cut) (DVD)

...Big-Screen adaptations X-Men and Spiderman, Daredevil was met with decent success the world over, but didn't quite strike the same chord with viewers or reviewers as those two movies did, was that purely down to the lack of familiarity with the character? Daredevil follows Matt Murdock(Ben Affleck - Mallrats), Matt was blinded as a child by toxic waste, and his boxer father was killed for refusing to take a dive. However, Matt's other senses were ...
...of the entire Natchios family. Daredevil tries to stop him, but Elektra ends up believing that Daredevil killed her father, and goes into training to kill him. Things heat up on the rooftops of Hell's Kitchen as Daredevil tries to bring down Bullseye and the Kingpin, Bullseye tries to finish his job and Elektra tries to kill the man she believes killed her father, unknown to her he is the man she loves... So the story writeup is pretty short, but ...

Review of Daredevil (Director's Cut) (DVD)

Daredevil is a superhero who first appeared in comics way back in 1964. He is the billed as 'The Man without fear' and rightly so. His backstory is that as a boy he was blinded by toxic chemicals (everyday occurrence in comic book world) however the same chemicals also enhanced all of his other senses making him stronger, acrobatic, and with perfect balance. The sense most affected was his hearing which means that not only can he literally hear everything ...
...By day Daredevil (Ben Affleck as 'Matt Murdock') is a lawyer, however by night he dispenses the justice the courts cannot. He is also driven by the murder of his father when he was a child and an obsession with stopping 'The King Pin' who is said to control all of the crime in the city (Michael Clarke Duncan). The main story kicks off when Matt meets Elekra (Jennifer Garner). The attraction is mutual, however her father is involved in some shady ...

Review of Daredevil (Director's Cut) (DVD)

...films such as x-men (2) Daredevil was full of action and very involving. I recommend it although the action scenes are quite violet and thus not quite suitable for Children of young ages. Daredevil's story was good, though somewhat traditional in places. The story begins with a kid called mat who is being bullied because his father will no fight in a boxing match. Hs father tells Matt not to listen to the kids and to try to concentrate on his school ...
...to show off his excellent grades to his father but is shocked to find that his father is beating someone up! Matt runs away in tears and shock. Matt is not concentrating and ends up running into an accident and chemical biohazard Material is spilt all over him. Matt is taken to hospital where he finds out he was blind. As time goes on Matt discovers that although he has lost his eyesight all his other senses were in enhanced dramatically. The story ...

...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 ...

Review of Daredevil (Director's Cut) (DVD)

If you havent seen this movie you have missed something huge and unique! In my opinion this is one of the best "MARVEL" action movies ever! This story is about a young lawyer who is blind, but due to a tragic accident in his childhood his blindness compensates by giving him unique ability turning him into a live radar. So this hero takes on the city's criminal underworld by night, while in the day time he does the same by legal means. Action in this ...
...not as good as some of the new movies in the same categories. But it outruns its competitors by miles in story-telling. Directors cut however gives a even better story-telling, "its a story inside a story" . with over 30 minutes of added extras and previosly unseen original shoots and to cope it all a brand new character is shown in this version of the movie. ...

Review of Daredevil (Director's Cut) (DVD)

...to be a movie, it's Daredevil (yes, we DID need a Howard The Duck movie!). I mean, who the hell has heard of this guy? Don't get me wrong. Comics can have small readerships and still be great. But the way this movie was assembled is total Hollywood conveyer belt. They cast Ben Affleck in the title role for the love of all that is good and pure. Ben Affleck! The most arrogant actor in the world! The man who stars in 80 billion inevitable flops in ...
...The original theatrical cut of Daredevil was a complete whogivesadamn affair. The movie was 90 minutes of nothing. In fact the only damn thing that happened was the love affair between Affleck and Jennifer Garner. This new Director's Cut fleshes everything out a lot more and is a much stronger movie. But it will never be a great movie, no matter how many bells and whistles you add to it. For the unfamiliar, Daredevil is actually Matt Murdock, a blind ...
