I finally got the directors cut and it was 10 times better than the original version. I'd gave the original version a 7 out of 10 and the directors cut a 10 out of 10. I wish there was a sequel to this but it didn't happen which sucks. The directors cut aged well but the original version didn't aged well through out 14 years. I'd recommend this more then the original version.
... View MoreBlinded as a child and bullied by others in school, a young boy is traumatized by his father's killing at the hands of organized crime. Upon becoming an adult the lawyer named "Matt Murdock" (Ben Affleck) decides to put his extraordinary senses, acquired from the radioactive solution which took his eyesight, to avenge the victims of bullies and thugs as the superhero known as "Daredevil". What he doesn't count on is a relationship with a beautiful woman by the name of "Elektra Natchios" (Jennifer Garner) who has enemies of her own who are more dangerous than anybody he has ever encountered. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I was quite excited when this movie first came out. Unfortunately, I must confess that I was more than a little disappointed after seeing it. To be more specific, although the scenes involving the origin of Daredevil were quite good, the rest of the movie seemed rather dark, dull and dreary afterward. There was simply too much talk and not enough action. At least that is how it appeared to me. In any case, with all of the resources available, I believe this movie could have been much better and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.

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
... View MoreYea yea i gave it a 10 and I stand by it and here is why. First I will tell you what Daredevil is not. It is not Avengers, Iron Man, Cap America or Flash. What it is a dark, gritty well written show that sticks to source material that has no comedy relief. The actors are not over hyped sex symbol types, they go full force with violence and dark themes. I want more shows like this. I am also a fan of Gotham and Watchmen. I initially did not give it a chance because I tried to sit through an episode of Flash and thought it was similar. After a few friends with similar taste than mine told me DD is different I gave it a shot and I am so hooked I am itching for more. I am delighted show show is successful so hopefully movie and TV writers will finally make real comic book movies and shows. Avengers, Cap America and Iron Man movies make me hurl. Introducing The Punisher was golden, Elektra is awesome, I just love the morbid Church undertones and how each episode does not hold back. I am just so sick of the "safe" family fun theme type shows. I swear if I see a Marvel flick on a McCrap ad I wont bother. I know i represent a smaller group but us REAL comic fans deserve the darker themes from source material. It us who took our allowance, min wage earning, birthday money to buy the comic books and keep buying them. We do not deserve so see a half hearted Hollywood version that parents would take their kids to. I do not mind leaving them at home! I am still waiting for an R rated mutant universe flick....... BRING IT ON !!!!
