This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know what your thinking. 8 for Daredevil? The original is worth 6 at most, the 8 is for the Directors Cut version, which is better than the original cinematic version. For the Directors Cut, a sub-plot is added where Matt and Foggy Nelson take the case of a murdered prostitute, with a drug addict framed for the murder, played by Coolio. This addition makes the film seem darker than the original cut. Foggy Nelson is given more to do than be just the lawyers sidekick and we get more time with Matt Murdock as a lawyer than a masked vigilante. Also, the reason the cops come for Kingpin at the end seems more believable than in the original cut. The opening origin is extended, focusing more upon Matts catholic upbringing and making us feel more for his relationship with his father, which makes it more tragic when his father is murdered. However, many flaws still remain. The playground fight scene's a big one, and you can't help but feel that Jennifer Gardners casting as Elektra was just stunt casting, due to her being in Alias. I personally liked Colin Farrels portrayal as Bullseye. He plays the character crazy and enjoyable, just like Bullseye. I feel they missed a trick though. When Bullseye asks Kingpin for a costume, that was the right moment for Bullseye to get his Marvel costume. But seeing Ben Afflecks gimpy DD costume and the schoolgirl Elektra, maybe a Bullseye costume was better left undone. Michael Clarke Duncan will always be John Coffey off the Green Mile for me, so I'm not fully convinced as him playing Kingpin. I was convinced in his battle with Daredevil and him talking with Bullseye, but not much else. And Ben Affleck as Daredevil? I honestly didn't mind him. Who would've thought the addition of Coolio would help this become a better film? Still confounded by Ben Urich finding the gasoline/alcohol marked DD which he set on fire...… Expand

Daredevil and The Punisher are the truest movies to the comic books and they both received low reviews.
The reviews mean nothing because both of the movies are magnificent. Both movies are 100 percent true to the marvel comics, A+ for both movies.… Expand

I don't know why this movie gets such low ratings. I know it is not an all time favorite but back then it was entertaining, had good humor and well done action / fight scenes. For clarification: I have not read the Daredevil comics as theyI don't know why this movie gets such low ratings. I know it is not an all time favorite but back then it was entertaining, had good humor and well done action / fight scenes. For clarification: I have not read the Daredevil comics as they were not well known in my country and know him mostly from crossovers with Spiderman and other heroes. Still have to watch the Netflix series (I know shame on me). Back to this movie: It is the story of Matt Murdock. Lawyer by day and vigilante hero by night. He grown up in New York's in the Hells Kitchen neighborhood. As child he had an accident that made him blind but improved his other sense to superhuman levels. He is the dark guardian of his neighborhood as crime rules. Hells Kitchen has a famous history of poverty, gangs and crime bosses ruling the streets. More I wont tell because of spoilers. Ben Affleck is an excellent actor and I think he did an entertaining job here as Matt Murdock and Daredevil. I know he won the golden raspberry but think it is hardly the worst performance in this year. Jennifer Garner as Elektra is dividing. I think the role was a misstep for her career while making no serious errors. She is believable but a bit misplaced by the script. The villains are however excellent. Colin Farrell as Bullseye is such an enjoyable (slightly?) mad bad guy that you will love to hate. Then there is Michael Clarke Duncan as Wilson Fisk better known as Kingpin. He is intimidating, a brilliant plotter and always in control or adapting to every situation. He is always a force to be recognized and one of the most acclaimed villains. I know that Wilson Fisk is white in the comics but don't care about skin color. We got such a good actor and performance that I will praise him. Then there is the story. It is the classical first movie with introduction of the backstory, establishing the characters, settings and relations. So far nothing wrong here. The special effects are good and the fights are well choreographed. I know that Marvel raised the bars later on so it may be a bit underwhelming for some. The soundtrack is excellent and I like Evanescence contribution here. Overall this is a forgotten superhero movie. Hated by some and valued by others. I think it was entertaining at is time and is still watchable. Maybe less if you watch the Netflix series that I hear only praise.… Expand

I loved the visuals, but I found the love story soppy and couldn't always make sense of the story. However, hearing so much about the Director's Cut being superior I got the DVD off my brother, and actually I really liked it. Daredevil is not what I call a perfect movie, I still did find the love story soppy and becoming dangerously close to flagging down the film and the soundtrack is rather dated and heavy for my liking. On the other hand, I loved the stylish visuals, the fresh, funny dialogue, that I could make much more sense of the story and could be more entertained by it and the characterisation of the titular character with him being vulnerable and flawed I found him very interesting. The other characters are not as well developed, but are enthusiastically performed. Colin Farrell especially is lots of fun, Jennifer Garner is decent and Michael Clarke Duncan is great as is Joe Pantoliano. The editing is good if occasionally rushed, and the action sequences are clear if not always very subtle. Overall, a good movie that fared much better on re-watch. 7.5/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

Daredevil. Devil of Justice. There isn't much to say about this film. It's a good superhero movie about a blind fighter with and without injustice in a suit. Ben Affleck, in my opinion, perfectly portrayed a blind man.

Lee Harvey, Vita just doesn't fit the movie and the tone that they're going for. yes, the infamous playground scene is with elektra and daredevil is cringe.
the bullseye scenes like his reveal scene in the bar, airport scene and airplane scene all was pointless and it should've been cut from the film even in the director's cut there's even a scene in where ben's matt murdock was telling J.gard's elektra when he was telling her "she doesn't have to worry about anything" only for it to cut showing bullseye stealing a bike then cuts back to them, the movie is so poorly edited at times. like their shots that would just cut randomly as a following scene throughout the movie that takes away from the scenes. the movie has way to many subplots and doesn't have the proper run time to flush all of it out.
but besides from that, it's a cheesy comic book popcorn superhero, chick flick. Nothing to over the top campy Coolio (R.I.P) stole the show in the movie i love the elements of seeing through his vision seeing what he sees through his eyes when it rains and wherever theirs sound but also established his weakness in within specific sounds like church bells and trains. although (R.I.P.) Michael Clarke Duncan's kingpin is a hood version of comic book kingpin and race swap but he still manages to make it his own and is a highlight of this movie. its also a lowkey chick flick with the romance side plot that matt has with Elektra alot of the story takes inspiration from frank miller's Elektra debut when frank created her back in the day even has shot by shot scenes right out of the comics including bullseye's stab to Elektra. i love the soundtrack from Right Before Your Eyes Music by Hoobastank, For You by The Calling, Caught In the Rain by Revis & Won't Back Down by Fuel. makes this movie very memorable and easy to revisit to it has its charm but its not perfect but i still and will always love this movie.… Expand
