2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Johnny H. 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.

invisibleunicornninja Before I start my review, I'm just going to explain how I watched this movie. On YouTube, there is a YouTuber by the username "YourMovieSucksDOTorg" and he made a video commentary for the Director's Cut version of this terrible, terrible movie. I watched the movie while listening to this commentary, and it was absolutely hilarious. If you for some reason decide to watch this movie, watch the director's cut alongside the YMS commentary because it is extremely entertaining. Plot - Over two thirds of this movie is a random nonsensical flashback. This movie is poorly written and makes no sense. I just finished watching the movie, and I could not tell you what happened. Characters - The characters are extremely poorly written. At no point did I care about any of them, or understand anything that they were trying to do beyond random guesses. Sights - I don't think that I've ever seen a movie with editing so bad. Whoever edited this movie had absolutely no clue what they were doing. There are way to many cross-dissolves of sped-up shots of skylines. Whoever was behind the camera also clearly had no clue what they were doing. This movie looks terrible. The cinematography is atrocious. Sounds - For some reason the sound design is a mess. There are a lot of random cartoony sound effects and bad sound editing. You'd think a movie with a blind character with undefined powers as the main character (I'm assuming cause his name is the title) would pay close attention to how the movie sounds. The soundtrack is really odd as well. Some songs are good, some are terrible, but most of them don't fit what's happening in the movie. I have seen that stupid scene where Elektra slices up the sandbags in so many reviews, and in none of them did they ever mention that "Wake Me Up Inside" was blaring over top of the cartoon slicing sound effects. Action - The action scenes in this movie are hilariously incompetent. This movie is such a mess. Not a single thing is done right. I would call this movie so-bad-that-its-good, but it actually gets a bit too boring for me to recommend it to be watched in that way.If you are going to watch this movie, I'd recommend looking up the YMS commentary track. I would provide a link, but it got removed when the review published.

stratus_phere Hey, listen up, there are spoilers here! So DO NOT READ if you haven't seen it!I haven't seen the director's cut, but I can't imagine it could fix the problems I had with this movie.1) The female protagonist dies. I mean, WTF! How stupid is that? You like pissing the audience off? You want to kill a movie before the end? You don't want a viable sequel? Or you're just braindead? How could you make a movie like that?2) You keep all bad guys alive, for future use. This is one thing that always confounds me. Writers/directors who actually believe the idea of the "super-human bad guy", who always come back, is ridiculous and annoying. No, the audience does not want to see a bad guy who always gets away or who always survives, just so your protagonist has a villain in the sequels. Just kill the guy, for God's sake! We hate, and I mean we absolutely HATE that the heroes are forced to fight the same bad guys over, and over, and over, and over again in every movie the director/writer has planned in his tiny little pea-brain. If you can't plan a movie better than that, you have no business making movies. Find another career.3) After credits showing...not the female protagonist surviving, but the freaking bad guy. When the credits were rolling and they cut back to someone lying in a hospital bed, I was hoping beyond hope they had the sense to bring back the female lead, that she had somehow survived or been revived. But no, it was just one more cheap, p.o.s. shot to show the stupid bad guy...again. We get it, the bad guy will always survive, he will always get away and come back, for every planned sequel. How moronic. Why not give the audience what they wanted, instead of the tired old cliché of the villain coming back over and over again.Stupid.

2karl- daredevil came out in 2003 with a running time 1hr43mins with a mixture Action, Crime, Drama i gave it 7/10 and barely made 100 million Ben affleck done a good job here you either love him or hate him he is street vigilante crime fighter a local legend that has been seen who falls in love with a beautiful martial arts master called Electra played by a kick ass Jennifer garner but when she and her family are targeted by a vicious assassin called bulls eye played by Colin Farrell who is having major fun her he has the perfect aim a Michael Clarke Duncan who is the kingpin in hell's kitchen but the story starts with A man blinded by toxic waste which also enhanced his remaining senses like sonar vision into shadow world were he can see things only in pulses of rain were he can see things in shadows like when he meets electra on top of the roof to kiss her amazing graphics in the way he vibrates his walking stick to see his enemies also like a sonar reflecting of things fights crime as an acrobatic martial arts superhero the director of ghost rider brings his this story to life Mark Steven Johnson bring his magic of special effects to life with using rain as away of Matt/daredevil of seeing his love happiness/sadness to life Ben Affleck ... Matt Murdock / Daredevil / Jennifer Garner ... Elektra Natchios / Colin Farrell ... Bullseye / Michael Clarke Duncan ... Wilson Fisk / The Kingpin i5Jon Favreau Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson Fate deals young orphan Matt Murdock a strange hand when he is doused with hazardous waste. The accident leaves Matt blind but also gives him a heightened "radar sense" that allows him to "see" far better than any man. Years later Murdock has grown into a man and becomes a respected criminal attorney. But after he's done his "day job" Matt takes on a secret identity as "The Man Without Fear," Daredevil, the masked avenger that patrols the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen and New York City to combat the injustice that he cannot tackle in the courtroom The origin story of the character Daredevil is pretty complicated, but, as the helpful gentleman in the theater so aptly put it, "He's blind, but he can see stuff blind." Let's just leave it at this: This caused his other senses to become phenomenally acute, to the point where Matt can track criminals by their scent and use sound waves as a sort of radar. He uses his newfound abilities to protect those who will not be protected by the justice system, all the while hoping that one day he will find the person who killed his father. A Guardian Devil. He is the man without fear Take the dare. When justice is blind, it knows no fear. When the streets have gone to Hell - have faith in the Devil. Justice is blind. So is he. A man without hope, is a man without... fear. Daredevil is gritty and merciless. Whatever you thought couldn't happen in Peter Parker's world will more than likely happen in Matt Murdock's neck of the woods. Because people die here. Sometimes they die slowly and painfully. The superheroes go home with scars on their backs, broken teeth, and more than a few gruesome images that need to be repressed. For all of these reasons I liked Daredevil, because it takes chances by offering a hero that is by no means invincible or conventional. If you're a fan of the first two Batman movies, you'll find a lot to love in Daredevil. There are still some comic book elements that require some suspension of disbelief, like the fact that Matt could construct an entire high-tech lair beneath a church while working as a pro-Bono lawyer, but the movie is not fantasy-driven. The fight scenes will make you wince at their realism, the love story is not corny or forced (as opposed to a certain flick called Just Married), and the characters are complex, uncertain people who just happen to don masks and fight on rooftops.Well, in today's feature, Matt hears someone crying for help, but when his love interest, Elektra, asks him to stay, he actually does. With out-of-left-field scenes like this, I couldn't help but enjoy Daredevil. Some might be surprised at how little screen time the villains get in this movie. Kingpin, a Don Giovini mobster type, and Bullseye, an Irish nut with a couple of loose screws, are important parts of our story, but they don't steal the show. Going back to the Batman comparison, many movie buffs think that Jack Nicholson's role as the joker actually become more interesting than the winged knight himself. Not so in this movie, as Daredevil is the guy whom the role shebang revolves around. By deciding to focus on the hero more than the villain, the audience can get into his head and root for him to the last battle. Matt is a cool guy because he's not a wealthy . Other than his heightened senses and combat skills, he's just a regular guy who happens to like red leather.After X-Men and Spiderman became huge hits, it was expected that Hollywood would start churning out more superhero flicks as fast as they could make them. Thankfully, Daredevil doesn't seem recycled or rushed and actually brings something new to the table. they should make a sequel
