Memorable, crazy movie

Absolutely the worst movie.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Daredevil's been one of MARVEL's most iconic underdog characters: and his movie was a feature-length disservice to that status he gained through the years. I mean talk about a let-down that didn't even come close to the then-recent Spider-Man movie; you go from The Wall-Crawler to The Man Without Fear and the transition in quality is simply jarring on every discernible level.Daredevil meant well, but its cast is simply terrible and it taints the respective characters shown in the movie. There's no doubt that Ben Affleck is a competent actor, but he just wasn't meant to portray superheroes like Daredevil or Batman, and Jennifer Garner makes Elektra out to be a wooden joke of a love interest who's not even close to her comic counterpart. Though the Kingpin is pretty good thanks to the late Michael Clarke Duncan, it still doesn't negate the fact that the better-than-expected baddie is stuck in a film where Duncan's gentle-giant charm is out of place for a character as gritty and grounded as Daredevil is. Duncan's the best part of this movie because he's on a different level to everyone else; he cares about the character's integrity and does his damnedest to stay close to the Kingpin in the comic books for all that it's worth.Daredevil isn't as bad as MARVEL's other outings like Howard the Duck (1986), Captain America (1990), or Elektra (2005) but it's a tonal mess that tries seguing between dark and light-hearted fun that just doesn't work in the movie's, or the source material's, context.Please note that this review is allocated for the original theatrical release: I have not seen the Director's Cut nor do I really intend to.

I have loved this movie ever since I saw it when I was 7. And every time I watch it, it gets better. Great overall. But since I like the movie , I cant get into the TV show. The movie is so much more in depth with its history, and the classic the hero finds his way, by himself. Great character casting. Great chemistry between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, this is ever present when they got married :) The fight scenes are well written as well. They don't get boring, and they are quite mesmerizing. I especially like how they show us what he sees even though he's blind, its a clever way of representing how he sees the world. Also the humor is great, its grown up humor so little kids wont get it, but its not a little kids movie, and yes I said when I was seven, but I've always been weird in my movie selections. And the best thing overall is the soundtrack. Oh my god. Its awesome, classic music for its time, and perfectly matching its coinciding scenes in the film. So anyone who doesn't like the TV show, will love the movie and vise versa, love the TV show will hate the film.

Well, after watching the director's cut of the 2003 Daredevil movie, I would have to say that it's not really a masterpiece, but I will say that it's better than the theatrical cut. But, it's not the worst superhero movie that I've ever seen. That honor belongs to Catwoman (2004), X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Superman III & IV and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Now with that being said, as far as movie casting goes in a superhero film such as Daredevil, I have to say that Jennifer Garner is a terrible choice for the role of Elektra Natchios. Not once did I actually believe that she was the famous ninja assassin from the Daredevil comics that single-handed took out the Hand. All I saw was Jennifer Garner in a black leather corset playing with ninja weapons and I actually laughed at her death scene at the hands of Colin Farrell's Bull's-Eye. The rest of the cast is alright. The late Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin was amazing, Colin Farrell was a hoot as Bull's-Eye. But, I think Ben Affleck should've just stuck with playing Batman, instead of Daredevil. This was not an easy role for him at all.Overall, I'd highly recommend the Director's Cut of the 2003 Daredevil movie over the Theatrical Cut. It's definitely worth the watch. Oh, and I forgot! The director's cut features a subplot with Coolio's character being framed by the Kingpin and it is hilarious.

Daredevil is kind of shallow fun, and if you've seen the director's cut (which is the version I've rated) you will know that this version would have been much better received had it been released in the cinema.Ben Affleck ain't great in this, to be honest; but he's not terrible. I liked Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin and enjoyed an OTT Colin Farrell as Bullseye. Jennifer Garner is better here than she was in the terrible Elektra solo movie, and the origin story is faithful to the comics.It certainly isn't as dark as it could be, but strikes a balance between humour and tragedy. Elektra believing Daredevil is her father's murderer is ripped straight from Spider-Man, though. Farrell offing the old lady on the plane is pretty funny.If Daredevil tries to be all things to all men it's at least partially successful in most of what it attempts. And the climactic battle in the church between Daredevil and Bullseye is rather well done.Pretty decent, then. And nowhere near the disaster some have made it out to be.
