Advantages: great story, cast. Disadvantages: none, really.
...the chilling line, "No one is innocent".
Daredevil ranks high with Batman and X-Men with dark wit and sizzling energy. Director Mark Johnson makes each scene with amazing energy along with a great soundtrack and some good CGI effects. So go see Daredevil in theaters near you. ...

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. ...

Advantages: Affleck, his senses Disadvantages: Farrel, Garner
My god, how fantastic can one film be? Though i do have to say, it's no spiderman. Affleck is a fantastic actor no matter what, and still he lives up to his potential in this develishly daring film. The effects are so amazing, when he loses his sight, and the fact that his other sense get more powerful, indeed it's scary at first, but as he gets used to it throughout the film, so do you. This definitely is a must see in the cinema film.. Although ... ...good fighter and does in some ways suit the film. Colin Farrel is a good actor, though does not in anyway suit the film. Basic plot is that boy loses his sight, his father dies, he in a way takes over his profession, though no ring involved! He meets girl, she's oblivious as to who he is when they fight, bad guy at end get what he deserves, though there will definately be a sequel. I don't like to give away things in my descriptions, so apologies ...

Advantages: Great action , Good Plot Disadvantages: Not long enough in my opinion!
...Affleck plays the part of Daredevil , who by day is a blind lawyer who lost his sight as a child due to a freak accident and by night is a vigilante crime fighter who seeks justice . He falls in love with a martial arts master called Elektra (played by Jennifer Garner ) whos family are targeted by an evil assassin. It stars Colin Farrel who in my opinion is brillant as Bullseye (an assassin with perfect aim) and also has an excellent performance ... ...some great special effects, some super fight sequences and i particular enjoyed the way that it was mostly non stop action throughout the movie.
I saw this film at the cinema and i have also bought it on VHS and i never tire of watching it . I think the casting was good but even though i do like Ben Affleck as an actor ,im not convinced he was the right choice.
Overall , i thought this was a good action movie and would recomend it . ...

Advantages: interesting build up story Disadvantages: not much action
This movie contains romance aswell as action. This film is similar to batman and cat women. It is also confusing as it starts with the same scene that it is ending in. Personally I don't think there's much action in it, the most scenes i can remember with action was 3, between them scenes I think are just boring, this film didn't excite me at all. I would recommend this film to romance lovers who like a bit of action included. I also think this film ...

Advantages: Good Comic Book Caper Disadvantages: Not in the same league as Spider-man
This film has so much going for it, in the fact that is a fantastical story of a disadvantaged boy that makes good, however who could ever believe that Ben Affleck could be a superhero....!! Spider-man this is not. Good visual displays however, great effects but still a story beyond belief. I mean this superhero has no special characteristics apart from that he can see sound disturbances, not very imaginative from the creator at all. It is just another ... ...baggage attached. I just pray to god that they do not bring out a sequel as it could not get any poorer, very weak storyline. One redeaming feature is that Colin Farrell plays a brilliant villian, and at points you are willing him onto succeed in ridding the fantasy world of the Daredevil. ...
