 | This movie is really drawn out. I wish it wasn't because Daredevil is one of my favorite comics. Ben Affleck is horrible as always. Colin Farrell is horrible as Bullseye. His carrer is going down the drain after this and Alexander. Jennifer Garner is ok as Elecktra, I expected more from her. The only character I liked wasn't even in the movie only in the director's cut. Coolio is funny as the man on trial and has a funny line in it. Joe Pantoliano is also good as the reporter. But they can't save a bad movie that was bad enough already. |

| Make no mistakes, the director's cut is geared towards fans of the first version and will not win any converts. Although a lot of additional scenes have been added, the characters are still not fleshed out enough and the plot holes remain unanswered.
But the biggest cause for disappointment is the horrible video transfer. On a regular 4:3 TV, the encoding problems are not as noticeable, but viewed on a widescreen television in anamorphic, the heavy pixelation or blurred pixels become distracting. With so many dark scenes and fast action, the bitrate should have been increased, or a better encoding method used. |

| Rating | | | Date | August 04, 2005 | | Summary | A decent comic book adaption ruined by its flaws. | Content
| After losing his eyes to a tragic nuclear
waste accident, Matt Murdock (Ben Affleck) starts
developing superhuman powers and all of his other 4 senses are
more keen then they previously were. He lives in
external darkness, but yet he sees the light in
innocent people who he defends by day, and harms their
perps that have been discarded by the justice system
and thrown into his own brand of justice. He plots
revenge on anybody that harms the innocent. He then
takes on the man that is making him do his job.
The Kingpin is his main enemy and he must bring him to
justice before anymore perps get back on the street
Well, I have seen some comic book movies bomb and fail
to grasp what the comics are about.
I also have seen some filmmakers tarnish what is held
dear to some people. I have to say, This is how a
comic book movie should be done. Everything is not
perfect, but it gets its point across and makes sense
and makes the film enjoyable to watch. Also, even
though there were some horrendus actors, I have to
say, that Ben Affleck pulled off the performance of
Matt Murdock decent enough. I also thought that
Jennifer Garner was just eye candy and Colin Farrell
was wasted as Bullseye.
There were humongous plot holes in this. I
was absolutely questioning how some of the things were
being done and why. Some stuff felt out of place and
and didn't really gel with what was going on in the
film. It really made the experience of watching the
film less enjoyable. I do not like point out plot
holes to myself when I am watching a movie. I want the
director to make sure the film has no plot holes. When
a film has plot holes like Daredevil had, it makes you
question the writing of the script and the screenplay
by whomever wrote it. It really ticks me off when a
writer makes such mistakes when he is writing a movie
and trying to insert plots. What the writer did here
was a failure to express what was going on. The only
thing that I liked about the writing/screenplay was
that he kept it dark and grimy and evil and good.
The acting by Ben Affleck barely impressed me because
Ben Affleck isn't that great of a actor and in his
other roles, he has failed to impress me with his
chops. The only movie that I actually liked him alot
in was Good Will Hunting and he was very impressive in
that. Mainly, I prefer his counterpart, Matt Damon,
who by far is a more accomplished actor than he is. I
hate to say it here, but Colin Farrell was wasted
here. He was basically the best performance out of the
bunch and I was satisfied with his performance as
Bullseye. Jennifer Garner is just eye candy, plain and
simple. She was there to provide the steamy part of
the movie when she has the part of Matt's crush,
Elecktra. I cannot believe they decided to make a
spin-off of a eye candy character. Micheal Clarke
Duncan is, in my opinion, a decent actor at best. I
feel that he has had one great performance in his
career and that was in The Green Mile. Again, he
failed to impress me as the Kingpin and I was left
unsatisfied after the movie ended.
The movie has its flaws, its sometimes
good performances and sometimes not so good
performances . But it was still a entertaining movie
that I enjoyed watching but had the experience ruined
by the gaping plot holes, the sometimes cringe worthy
acting, and the lack of where the film was going. I
was enjoying the experience of a comic book on the
screen but the flaws absolutely ruined it for me. |

| This movie may be better with the added footage, but that does not make Ben Afleck a better superhero. I'm not a Ben Afleck hater, but the choreographed fights are a pain to watch. There could have been many other actors to play the role of DD much better. I suppose they just wanted a big name to sell tickets, but that's where they flopped. Jennifer Garner does well along with the others for a movie that is only so-so anyway, but I just didn't enjoy watching Afleck pretend that he knows some kind of martial arts with his limited flexability. This is why there will not be a sequal. |
