Action aside, there's not much else I could recommend this movie for. There's a lot of good casting choices, but no one looks comfortable in there roles, save for bat-crazy Colin Farrell who is perfect for Bullseye. |

I love this movie. I thought the characters lived up to the comic books, the action scenes were awesome. Besides the Daredevil and Kingpin, Bullseye was awesome, nothing like killing an old lady with a peanut! |

Does not live up to the source material. |

Terrible film about a great comic when written by Frank Miller. And this movie is trying to emulate Frank Miller's comics but it fails completely. The scene that emulates the comic is very poorly done and forced. The action is either over done or oddly done like the fight in the park that is just stupid. Ben Affleck brings nothing to Daredevil who could be interesting but is not in this movie, which adds him killing although he suddenly stops in the end for no real reason. Elektra in the movie is the worse offensive since she is so complicated in the comic but incredibly simplified in this. Bullseye is okay but too over the top and not really scary like he could be. Kingpin is finely played but the story makes not sense, especially how daredevil beating him up makes it so he is taken done... |

Action: 1.5/3 + Comedy: 0.5/2 + Good vs Evil: 1/1 + Love/Sex: 1/1 + Special Effects: 0/1 + Plot: 1/1 + Music: 0.5/1 = 5.5/10 or 55%.
There is good within this introduction to the man without fear. Namely, the audio-visual style in which we see how the Daredevil's heightened senses allow him to "see" other objects. At other points the chemistry between the Daredvil and Elektra when they are out of costume is commendable.
Aside from this the film falls apart. The poor CGI effects detract from everything, including the fun Farrell has as Bullseye, and make scenes cringe worthy (for example the brawl match between Daredevil and Bullseye on a church organ). Everything else becomes rushed. Daredevil is all of a sudden disturbed by people perceiving him as a bad guy, even though he's dres... |

More for the fans of the comic book |

Based on the comic book of the same title, Ben Affleck plays "Matt Murdock", a blind lawyer from the Hell's Kitchen section of New York City. He also plays the vigilante, "Daredevil", who is also known as "The Man Without Fear".
First of all, unlike "Batman" and "Superman," it would be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the main characters: "Daredevil", "Elektra" (Jennifer Garner), "Kingpin" (Michael Clarke Duncan) and "Bullseye" (Colin Farrell). If you don't, then you will not like this movie. People who are regular comic book readers will know the characters more than the general public.
There are many subplots in this movie, one of which is a tabloid reporter (Joe Pantoliano) investigating "Daredevil" and his true identity. The two main plots are the relationship between ... |
