Rating the Marvel Universe on Film - Number 30

Posted by Jeff Labels: ,

Daredevil
Released: 2003
Final Score: 4/32
Jeff: 3/32

A man blinded by toxic waste which also enhanced his remaining senses fights crime as an acrobatic martial arts superhero.

What the Critics Said: Passable if derivative as entertainment, Ben Affleck fits the role but the film is not up to par with recent superhero films.

What I said: To bad it isn't better.

When watching Daredevil I kept telling myself "this really isn't a bad movie" yet once the film is done and the popcorn is all gone it becomes "that was a bad movie."

Daredevil is a movie that audiences should like but don't, critics should hate but don't, should be better but isn't, while you get he idea.  It near impossible to say what is wrong with Daredevil as it is a really long list of minor issues.   However to me the question of whether Daredevil was a violent vigilante or a campy superhero story really is the deciding factor.

This is also the first movie on the list that has an Extended Director's Cut with approximately 30 minutes of additional footage.
