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!

Growing up in Hell's Kitchen Matt Murdock was taught to avoid fights by his father, a washed up boxer who is working as an enforcer for a local mobster. When Matt learns the truth about what his father does he runs off and is involved in an accident; toxic watched is splashed in his eyes; he is instantly blinded but as a side effect his other senses are drastically improved; notably his hearing which is now so acute that he can use it like sonar! He uses these skills to train himself to fight for justice.Grown up he has become a lawyer who represents the innocent by day and takes vengeance against those who have escaped justice by night in the guise of Daredevil; a masked avenger. His ultimate goal is to discover the identity of 'King Pin' a notorious, almost legendary, crime lord who is behind most of the crime in the area. While doing this he meets and falls in love with Elektra Natchios, the daughter of a businessman who has dealings with King Pin, who is trained in martial arts to a level that matches his own skills. King Pin brings assassin 'Bullseye' into the country to eliminate Elektra's father when he tries to end their dealings. The events that follow will turn Elektra against Daredevil before he can finally confront King Pin.While this isn't one of the best superhero movies it is rather fun. Ben Affleck does a solid enough job in the lead role; especially when in the 'Matt Murdock' persona… when he is in the Daredevil costume he is still entertaining but is mostly involved in action rather than things that show his character's development. Jenifer Garner is equally impressive as Elektra; it helps that her character gets stuck into the action rather than being a stereotypical damsel in distress. Michael Clarke Duncan is suitably imposing as King Pin and I liked Joe Pantoliano's performance as a journalist obsessed with the Daredevil; it was fun seeing him play somebody good for a change. I was less convinced by Colin Farrell as Bullseye; this was largely down to his ridiculous appearance… a shaved head with a target on his forehead; something that probably looked cool in the original comic but here looked a bit too silly rather than scary. The overall story is entertaining and the action is plentiful and exciting. Overall I wouldn't say this is a must see film but it is worth checking out if you are a fan of the superhero genre.

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

This surprisingly dark and moody superhero yarn is a great and unexpected surprise – probably the most genuinely entertaining comic-book film to come out of Hollywood in the early surge of such movies. It certainly walks all over the likes of HULK and SPIDER-MAN. The fun aspect of the movie comes from a pleasingly witty script, which serves up crisp dialogue throughout; some surprising plot developments (coming from somebody who never reads any comics); memorable acting performances and a freshness which is more than worthwhile. The backstory of the main character is run through pleasingly fast, in about fifteen minutes (compared to HULK's forty-five). I don't want to spoil any of the plot, other than to say that this film takes a more adult, mature approach to the material – both in the depth of emotion of the characters, in the handling of death, and in the rather violent action sequences.Said action – invariably incorporating martial arts, which is of course currently in vogue in Hollywood – is highly entertaining and the film as a whole is packed with special effects, which add to the impact rather than being really noticeable. The entire cast put in good performances, from Ben Affleck's subdued turn as the lead to the solid support of Jon Favreau, Joe Pantoliano and Leland Orser. Yet the most noticeable characters are Jennifer Garner as the truly electrifying Elektra, Michael Clarke Duncan as the impossibly imposing Kingpin, and best of all, Colin Farrell as mad henchman Bullseye. Farrell bags the best role in the film and really makes a meal of it, bringing humour to his psycho-schtick and enlivening the proceedings no end. The combination of the above factors serve to highlight DAREDEVIL as one of the triumphs of the Hollywood year!
