Review of Daredevil (DVD)

...as blind lawyer Matt Murdock,or Daredevil to you and me. This movie has apparently been in developement for years, I'm guessing since 'The Crow' was made, as that film seems to be a huge influence here. For those who aren't familiar with the story,here's a recap- Young Matt Murdock is blinded in an accident (the actual accident differs here from the comics) and discovers that the toxic waste that blinded him has enhanced his other senses,giving ...
...he assumes the mantle of Daredevil by night,meting out his own brand of justice. (So far so Batman) This is the first major difference from a comic reader's point of view. The whole plot point where a young orphaned Matt is taken in and trained as an assassin has been left out (for time maybe?). Anyway, jump to present and we have DD doing his thing & beating up bad guys..except this 'hero' lets the bad guy die. Yep- this ain't a squeaky clean ...

Over a coffee with Foggy, Matt sense’s a gorgeous young woman come into the café, determined to get her name he tracks her down ending up in a brawl in the playground with a load adolescent children shouting and cheering. This is what starts the love affair between Matt/Daredevil and Elektra. Cue bad guy, the kingpin of crime is at this time hiring Bulls-eye ...
...lovely Elektra and that gorgeous Daredevil and the final fight is something not to be missed. And you will agree that the special effects are defiantly something special not just in that final fight but throughout the entire film. The future Mr J-lo, Ben Affleck, is defiantly something special in this film, his acting is superb. I don’t have any criticism about him but I will try and think of one erm…………………….. ...

...why smaller books such as daredevil and the punisher are now getting the green light. One of the differences with daredevil is that he doesn't really have any super powers. at face value he's just an ordinary man who feels the pain at the end of a nights crimefighting. but the most extraordinary thing about daredevil is that he's blind. by day matt murdoch (ben affleck) is a kind hearted lawyer who takes on cases pro-bono. by night he dons a red ...
...(micheal clarke duncan). but before daredevil can get to him he has to go through a mad hired assassin known as bullseye (colin farrell) as well as contend with a weapon twirling beauty known as electra (jennifer garner). daredevil is an entertaining entry into the comic book genre but its far from the best adaptation so far. it's a film with source material that arguably provides the most interesting story but that material is never realized to ...

...least a few flaws, and Daredevil is no exception. Firstly, while the action sequences are pretty good, Farrell and Affleck can at times appear quite clumsy, which is understandable seeing as neither of them have any martial-arts training. Its real flaw, however, is that it's not wholly original. Murdock's quest for revenge against Kingpin for murdering his father, and the tragic relationship between Murdock and Elektra, are compelling to watch up ...
...watch, with a sense of style married to a certain grit which Spider-Man tried to pull off. I would not hesitate to recommend this film to anyone, especially the two-disc DVD edition. If you want to see how good comic-book adaptations could be, Daredevil is a good place to start. ...

Daredevil the Man Without Fear. You might know already, or you might be new to this comic book super hero. So I think it's important to know that I am more of a DC fan - though not entirely ignorant of the Marvel universe. I am also going to keep as much plot as possible under me hat (as the flumps would say). Firstly, this film has an incredible all-star cast: There's Ben Affleck royally sucking as Daredevil/Matt Murdock, the stunning Jennifer ...
...film from now on. Daredevil is a fantastic character, and he can't really fail to make a good lead, but Ben Affleck? He is just not something enough - sorry I can't quite put my finger on it. Elektra on the otherhand, in my opinion anyway, is admirably played by Garner. There are some flaws in her character resulting from some stupid attempts at story development but I cannot fault her use of those sais. The action is impeccable. When I say action ...

Daredevil is the alter ego of the blind Matt Murdock who grew up in a New York slum: Hell's Kitchen. As a child he's become blind, due to a chemical accident. After his father, who's a full time boxer, gets murdered by a gang, Matt changes his life, and decides to fight crime. In the day he's a lawyer who fights for the people who need him, at night he makes his own rules, he gets even with the bad guys. Then he meets a girl named Elektra.. Come ...

Get bitten by a super spider, get some acid in your eyes or just simply be out on revenge. Got all those things? Congratulations you are now a super hero! Forget about sleeping, real super hero's fight at night, you will always have to face another bad guy, but don’t worry, most of the time they are dumb as hell, and you ...

...superhero by night. It's as daredevil that Matt fights the injustices he can't take care of in the court room. This gets me, because I wasn't expecting this movie to be soooo violent. It's really disgusting sometimes, and definitely not something for kids. Jennifer Garner plays "Elektra" - the love interest of Daredevil. All we really know his her family is being killed one-by-one by The Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan) and she is the next target. ...
...to accomplish this task. The role of Bullseye isn't developed well at all. He just kind-of shows up and has this weird talent of killing/hurting people by throwing sharp objects at them and never missing. Again more disgusting scenes ensue. I think the end was the most violent. At one point, Bullseye throws a little dagger and it pierces right through Elektra's hand. Then, in true movie fashion, she pulls it right out and continues to fight. I won't ...

...none the less, However as daredevil i found he lacked the abillity to make the charcater believable and for me existed in the film as Ben in red leather not daredevil. Jennifer Garner attractive as always put in another passable performance but I think everyone will agree with me was just reprising a reworked version of her role in alias. The star of the film for me was Colin farrell as Bullseye ,branded with a frankly ludicrous tattoo on his forehead ...
...to provide padding between fight scenes All in all I'm afraid Daredevil did nothing for me except waste £5 for a ticket. P.s we knew it was ben affleck under the mask but for a man in disguise why did he spend 95% of the film with it off? lol ...

Daredevil is one of those films that the more you think about it, the more you wish you hadn't. This is a perfct example of mindless fun, the plot is very thin, the acting in average (Colin Farrell the saving grace), but the action pure genius! If you're a fan of films such as Blade and err... Blade 2, then this is your kind of film. Before the film have even started you can more or less guess what is going to happen, but there is still enough ...
...Affleck (Matt Murdock/Daredevil) and the gorgeous Jennifer Garner (Elektra Natchios) have great chemistry, with some very funny and stylish action sequences between them, making this quite entertaining. There is little depth in the characters and so as and when people died off, I didn't really care. Colin Farrell as Bullseye is probably the best character and actor in this film, and with a neat paper-clip trick he makes a pretty mean bad guy. ...

He eventually triumphs and over comes his disability and the couple escape (with some help from Elektra in the end!)

...great scene between Bullseye and Daredevil is one of the fastest passed fights I have ever seen. Michael Clarke Duncan was good as the New York “Kingpin” and was realistic as a up from the streets style businessman, you can tell his character really did want to keep his pride in the fight with DD and this is a big improvement from the lifeless 2D villains of the Hulk and Spiderman. I would recommend this DVD to any fan of the action adventure Genre ...
