Daredevil : 3 of 5
11.14.2003 5:27 PM \| Link	I seem to be missing lots of super hero movies in the theater lately, but thankfully they come out on DVD really fast these days. I didn't really know what to expect from Daredevil - I used to enjoy the comic books, but I wasn't sure how the character would translate to film. Actually, I was surprised at how good the movie was! I'm not really impressed with Ben Affleck in general, but he does a fine job as both Matt Murdock and the Man without Fear. The opening telling of his origin is very well done, explaining his powers and giving just enough insight into his motivation. I liked the action sequences, but the fight with Elektra in plain clothes was just totally silly. Bullseye was bizarre, but came across OK, but I'm afraid Kingpin was pretty lousy. He just wasn't believable at all, seemed slow and stupid, and worst of all, he did the worst job ever of pretending to smoke a cigar! Overall, though, I had a good time watching Daredevil (but I don't think they should mess with a sequel). Labels: dvds
