The commercials were better than the movie because most save 1 thing that was good was in the commercials. Jennifer Garner got hustled. All the kicking butt in the commercials, was just in the commercials. She didn't really do ANYTHING and was a waste of a good charachter. and the bossman...1 word. Why? Okay he's strong, how'd he get so strong?DareDevil has developed other senses ok cool, but he's a regular guy so now he's suddenly a great gymnast with super-strength??? Now I know you're not supposed to look for much plot in these movies but you gotta have some better action than that to distract me. Last thing, Nobody's going to bother to explain why Bullseye has a Bullseye on his head huh? More effort people,... Batman pulled it off.

This is a great movie. Affleck is added to the 'Marvel's comic superheroes list'. Okay so it isn't 'Tow towers' or even 'X-men' but it's still good. You'd think Ben Affleck was a rather odd actor to play a role of a superhero but he actually played it really well. SO is it entertaining? Yes, it is. It's worth it. The fight sequences are fascinating (not exactly the final X-men movie battle though where all the characters reveal their best powers to us). It is funny too. But the main question people ask themselves when a movie like this is made is that is the character true to the original idea? The X-men were perfect, the Archie comic cartoons weren't exactly right, Spider-man was good, Asterix and Obelix was good, Lord of the rings/Two towers was also perfect, and the Harry Potter flicks were also excellent. And so did Daredevil. It was just like the comic. It's important to have some huge fan of the original creation to make the movie a success. In Spiderman's case it was the director and in Daredevil's case it's Ben Affleck. But Affleck and Garner didn't exactly form a great onscreen bond. It may be hard to have that in a superhero flick but 'Jean Grey-Cyclops' and 'Peter Parker-Mary Jane' didn't really have trouble doing that. But the bottom line is that true fans will probably be pleased with this creation. From all the comic book superhero flicks being made, X-men is (hands down) the best of them all. Every character was perfectly chosen, more than I can say of other superhero movies. The movie is in short sinister and an action-packed adventure.The story revolves around Matt Murdock (played by Affleck) who was blinded as a child by a radioactive accident. But he got great senses, excellent fighting abilities, and other superhuman powers. In the morning he is Kitchen defence attorney. At night he is known to many as 'Daredevil' a superhero that fights crime in the streets of New York (common to all superhero comics/movies except Batman). He leaps from skyscraper to skyscraper. Daredevil's opponent Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan), and his deputy-murderer Bullseye (Colin Farrell) also play major roles of difficulty in Affleck's life. Daredevil fights their prevailing forces unaided, until he meets Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner of ALIAS fame), a trained martial artist and super heroine who is after Bullseye and Kingpin for assassinating her dad. Actually overall the movie is pretty good but there aren't really any 'phrases' and 'scenes' that you would start mentioning over and over again. I mean unforgettable stuff like the way Uma says 'Poissssson Ivyyy" in Batman and Robin or the way Robin always said 'let's get to the bat mobile' etc. But you can't have it all. You can't just wait for X-men 2 to come out without watching other superhero flicks. Well you can but it's a bit of a wait so I recommend you see this!
Rating:  - It hits the Bullseye!
DareDevil is an awesome movie that's just great fun. Hell I might even of enjoyed it more than Spiderman. Ben Afflick stars as Matt Murdock a man who was blinded as a child by chemicals and now has super senses. He uses those senses to fight crime as a masked hero named DareDevil. He falls in love with the sexy Elektra (Jennifer Garner) who's pretty tough herself. The 2 get to know each other by fighting it out in a school yard in front of some kids. Elekra's father is targeted by the evil KinPin (Michael Clarke Duncan). When DareDevil trys to stop him from getting killed by KinPin's main hitman Bullseye (Colin Farrell), he gets framed by Bullseye and Elektra thinks he killed her dad. Jennifer Garner's kun-fu has been called laughable by some critics, I think it's a lot more bareable than Cameron Diaze's and Drew Barrymoore's in Charlie's Angels. When she fights DareDevil or Bullseye it looks a lot better than the fighting on Ecks vs Sever. In that movie whenever Antonio Banderas would fight Lucy Liu, it looked more like they were dancing together. Anyway I have a thing for Garner, she's hot as hell, plus she has a tough look to her so I think she was very good as Elektra. Ben Afflick since Changing Lanes has been on a roll, he has really showed that he can act. He's great as DareDevil, I originally thought Matt Damon should of been casted as him instead but Afflick proves that he was a good choice. I really believed he was blind too, he was just excellent. Also Colin Farrell is just simply awesome as the insane Bullseye. His character isn't that well developed but that didn't matter to me because he was still very good. He plays one of the best villains I've seen in awhile. He's cocky, crazy and kicks major .... When I heard Michael Clarke Duncan was casted as KinPin whos' suppose to be a big fat white guy, I thought it was dumb. I'm not prejudice but I think when a character starts out white he should stay white. Anyway after seeing Michael Clarke Duncan's KinPin I forgot that the character isn't black, that's how good Duncan is. James Gandolfini would of been a better choice but Duncan isn't bad, he pulls off the part pretty damn good actually. All in all DareDevil is a good movie, I don't think it's a Batman rip-off like a lot of people have said either. I think this movie works on it's own, it's a lot better than it's being made out to be and I can't wait for the sequel.
