Daredevil (2003)

Very best movie i ever watch

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I have loved this movie ever since I saw it when I was 7. And every time I watch it, it gets better. Great overall. But since I like the movie , I cant get into the TV show. The movie is so much more in depth with its history, and the classic the hero finds his way, by himself. Great character casting. Great chemistry between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, this is ever present when they got married :) The fight scenes are well written as well. They don't get boring, and they are quite mesmerizing. I especially like how they show us what he sees even though he's blind, its a clever way of representing how he sees the world. Also the humor is great, its grown up humor so little kids wont get it, but its not a little kids movie, and yes I said when I was seven, but I've always been weird in my movie selections. And the best thing overall is the soundtrack. Oh my god. Its awesome, classic music for its time, and perfectly matching its coinciding scenes in the film. So anyone who doesn't like the TV show, will love the movie and vise versa, love the TV show will hate the film.

Well, after watching the director's cut of the 2003 Daredevil movie, I would have to say that it's not really a masterpiece, but I will say that it's better than the theatrical cut. But, it's not the worst superhero movie that I've ever seen. That honor belongs to Catwoman (2004), X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Superman III & IV and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Now with that being said, as far as movie casting goes in a superhero film such as Daredevil, I have to say that Jennifer Garner is a terrible choice for the role of Elektra Natchios. Not once did I actually believe that she was the famous ninja assassin from the Daredevil comics that single-handed took out the Hand. All I saw was Jennifer Garner in a black leather corset playing with ninja weapons and I actually laughed at her death scene at the hands of Colin Farrell's Bull's-Eye. The rest of the cast is alright. The late Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin was amazing, Colin Farrell was a hoot as Bull's-Eye. But, I think Ben Affleck should've just stuck with playing Batman, instead of Daredevil. This was not an easy role for him at all.Overall, I'd highly recommend the Director's Cut of the 2003 Daredevil movie over the Theatrical Cut. It's definitely worth the watch. Oh, and I forgot! The director's cut features a subplot with Coolio's character being framed by the Kingpin and it is hilarious.

The problem here is that it wasn't exactly dark enough and Daredevil wasn't exactly street enough.But that is without seeing the director's cut.The fact is, they tried for the darkness that people would expect from Daredevil, but still attempted to make it relatively child friendly. It made for an epic fail that only came half-way to what it needed to be.And then there is the street aspect of Daredevil. He isn't the Avengers, he takes on problems in Hell's Kitchen, he operates close to the community and you sort of only got a taste of it.They tried to show that street-wise hero, but ended up making things still a little larger than life. A little too much in that regard. The Kingpin, and Duncan was perfect for the role, seemed like a villain a little too big for Daredevil, a little too removed from the mafia thug that he actually is.As a result, the movie sort of fails, but only just. A little push further in the right direction would have taken it from a failure to a success.It can still be enjoyed, for what it is, but feels hallow.

This is probably slightly better than its reputation, but not great by any means. Affleck's good in the title role, but Jennifer Garner doesn't really keep up with him, and her delivery of that one "Liar!" line when Daredevil tells her he didn't kill her father is just laughably awful. The villains are good though, Colin Farrell especially hits it right with his over the top portrayal of Bullseye. The soundtrack isn't very good either, although that Evanescense song is kind of a guilty pleasure, bombastic as it is. The director's cut is supposedly far superior, but really the only differences are some profanity and a subplot where Murdock defends Coolio, nothing that special really.
