The comic book Daredevil once saved a man from being hit by an oncoming truck. The movie Daredevil leaves a man to die under an oncoming subway train, making innocent victims out of both the dead man and the subway car driver who must live with the traumatic memory of having crushed someone to death. Simply, the would-be hero of Daredevil (2003) is no one to root for. PLOT SYNOPSIS: … more

Superhero movies have become one of the highest-grossing genres in the moviemaking business and for good reason. They provide fantastic escapism and bring the fantasies from the pages of comics to life. One such film was the 2003 adaptation of Marvel Comic's character Daredevil. Now, I'm sure I'll take some heat for this from fans of the comic, but I've never really enjoyed the Daredevil comics all that much; a red-horned wearing Stan Lee/Marvel rebuttal to DC's Batman. This … more

This film for me was not a favorite of mine until I hit about the age of fifteen. Seeing as before that I could never grasp the idea of a blind guy kicking some serious criminal butt. But now that I'm much older and have read up on daredevil(the comics and anything else I can find on him.) He is a favorite of mine as well as the movie. Daredevil is dark, gloomy, smart , intense and … more

This well-cast movie packs a lot of story into one film. I remember growing up that Daredevil was always different than other comics after all what other hero was sightless? Also, the artwork of Gene Colon was much more like the artwork of the Dark Knight versions of Batman that come out in the mid-80's. The movie had the same feel. It was a heck of a lot better than the Val Kilmer/George Clooney Batman films but nowhere near the Spiderman movie. As in the comic, Matt … more

I really didn't think I was going to like DAREDEVIL all that much. I'm not a fan of Ben Affleck and when I heard he had been cast as the vengeful Matthew Murdock, I thought "Well, the movie is doomed." Fortunately, this is one time where Affleck rises to his potential and adds to a film's value instead of decreasing it. Matt Murdock (Affleck) is a powerful lawyer who has given up all opportunities to make a fortune in corporate law and instead has returned … more

"Daredevil" has always been one of my favorite Marvel characters. It truly was a surprise to me when I first learned that a film was actually going to be made about him. He teamed up with Lou Ferrigno's "Hulk" when that TV series was used to crank out a few TV movies, but that particular flick was wretched. It did no justice to the "Daredevil" character. This "Daredevil," however, stays fairly true to the comic book, although I felt the story dragged somewhat. The worst part of the movie … more

An awful lot of people spit blood. Even the hero wrenches a bloody loose tooth from his mouth after one bout of fisticuffs. Daredevil is an orthodontist's dream. But for fans of the comic book, Daredevil is more of a nightmare. Conceived initially as an adult flick, the R rating was trimmed to PG-13 before hitting theaters -- but still, the movie that remains is darker and more brutal than I expected from the optimistic Marvel hero. As is expected … more
