Review: Daredevil (2003) with Ben Affleck and yes, Jennifer Garner

Ben Affleck wasn't the first choice to play the blind superhero, in fact he was the sixth choice to play lawyer Matt Murdock in another comic book adaptation to the big screen.

Writen and Directed by Mark Steven John, the director of Simon Birch, Daredevil marks his second foray into the directors chair, and he makes it into a classic.

He takes the Daredevil story and turns it into a classic. Daredevil tells the story of Matt Murdock, the son of a professional boxer who gets murdered for refusing to take a dive, which leads young Murdoch into fighting crime. While an accident took his sight at a such a young age, his other senses, make crime fighting look easy.

His two arch nemesis's in this movie is Bullseye played with delight by Collin Farrell, who stole the movie from Tom Cruise in Minority Report, and nearly steals this movie as well, and Kingpin, yes Wilson Fisk, in a role tailor made for Michael Clarke Duncan, (Affleck's costar in Armageddon), and his other rival so to speak, Elektra Natchios played by the extremely beautiful Jennifer Garner, which makes Michelle Pffeifer's cat woman look tame.

Action in this movie is taken to new levels, in combines to Spirit of Spider Man into the Super action of the criminals of the Batman movies.

Johnson does a great job with what he has, and its ashamed that this movie wasn't released in the summer, for it would make $250 million easy.

Daredevil is a must see, and if I had to pay for the movie, I would.

Daredevil is rated PG-13 for action and violence, and sensuality.

My Rating is a 9 out of 10.

Oh lord jesus christ i thank you.

Yeeeeeeeeeeesssssss! Nice one! I've got my tickets for THursday night and i'm counting the days. I've always known this film was gonna be good. Right back when they had that buzz about the script. Sure, Ben Affleck wasn't my choice either but remember when everyone dissed Burton for casting Keaton as Batman?? He sure as hell wiped the smug grin off their faces!

Expect a 404 approved DD review thursday night!

404

Not the best comic book movie but sure as hell not the worst. I was surprised by Affleck as well..Colin Farrell and Michael Duncan Clark however steal this one.
Jennifer Garner wasnt in this release long enough for my taste

Rating of 7 out of 10 for the Man Without Fear

hehe yes it was a nice movie and really too bad Jennifer was not for long, whole movie was a bit short but very watchable 7.5/10

Just arrived back from watching Daredevil. What can i say, as a huuuuugee Daredevil comic book fan it met my expectations.

There really was nothing wrong with the movie in my opinion. the way his sonar sense was portrayed was very smart and very well done.
The mood and atmosphere was dark and brooding as it is in the comics and the fact that his weaknesses were shown also was good because it showed that he is really only human.

the only grip i have had to do with michael clarke duncan. He was perfect as the kingpin- had the walk, the voice to do it. But in my mind the kingpin was always white. It was very hard to imagine him as black. But other than that he was a good choice to play wilson fisk.
