Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

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.

Cliché followed by cliché, Daredevil has fallen short of the line currently necessary to belong in the film industry. The film is tedious and much too long, with too many false-endings and self-realisations for all characters. Furthermore, the characters are completely frustrating and annoying! So annoying that you manage to develop hate for basically all of them. As mentioned, false-endings are evident, with over-the-top fight sequences and terrible choreography. It is absolutely cringe-worthy. The acting is atrocious (especially for the antagonists of the film). Stay away from the film; a suggestion: go watch paint dry on a wall instead!

I finally got the directors cut and it was 10 times better than the original version. I'd gave the original version a 7 out of 10 and the directors cut a 10 out of 10. I wish there was a sequel to this but it didn't happen which sucks. The directors cut aged well but the original version didn't aged well through out 14 years. I'd recommend this more then the original version.

Blinded as a child and bullied by others in school, a young boy is traumatized by his father's killing at the hands of organized crime. Upon becoming an adult the lawyer named "Matt Murdock" (Ben Affleck) decides to put his extraordinary senses, acquired from the radioactive solution which took his eyesight, to avenge the victims of bullies and thugs as the superhero known as "Daredevil". What he doesn't count on is a relationship with a beautiful woman by the name of "Elektra Natchios" (Jennifer Garner) who has enemies of her own who are more dangerous than anybody he has ever encountered. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I was quite excited when this movie first came out. Unfortunately, I must confess that I was more than a little disappointed after seeing it. To be more specific, although the scenes involving the origin of Daredevil were quite good, the rest of the movie seemed rather dark, dull and dreary afterward. There was simply too much talk and not enough action. At least that is how it appeared to me. In any case, with all of the resources available, I believe this movie could have been much better and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
