Description: For Daredevil, justice is blind, and for the guilty?there's hell to pay! Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner ignite dangerous sparks and nonstop thrills in this "dazzling action-adventure" (The Film Journal) about the newest breed of superhero. By day, blind attorney Matt Murdock (Affleck) toils for justice in Hell's Kitchen. By night, he's Daredevil, The Man Without Fear - a powerful, masked vigilante stalking the dark streets with an uncanny "radar sense" that allows him to "see" with superhuman capabilities. But when the love of his life, fiery Elektra Natchios (Garner), is targeted by New York City's ruthless Kingpin of crime (Michael Clarke Duncan) and his deadly assassin Bullseye (Colin Farrell), Daredevil may be about to meet his match.
Amazon.com: Darker than its popular comic-book predecessor Spider-Man, the $80 million extravaganza Daredevil was packaged for maximum global appeal, its juvenile plot beginning when 12-year-old Matt Murdock is accidentally blinded shortly before his father is murdered. Later an adult attorney in New York's Hell's Kitchen, Murdock (Ben Affleck) uses his remaining, superenhanced senses to battle crime as Daredevil, the masked and vengeful "man without fear," pitted against dominant criminal Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan) and the psychotic Bullseye (Colin Farrell), who can turn almost anything into a deadly projectile. Daredevil is well matched with the dynamic Elektra (Jennifer Garner), but their teaming is as shallow as the movie itself, which is peppered with Marvel trivia and cameo appearances (creator Stan Lee, Clerks director and Daredevil devotee Kevin Smith) and enough computer-assisted stuntwork to give Spidey a run for his money. This is Hollywood product at its most lavishly vacuous; die-hard fans will argue its merits while its red-leathered hero swoops and zooms toward a sequel. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - THUMBS UP!!
I've been a comic-book fan since I was 11, but I had never heard of Daredevil...
The movie (theatrical version) introduced me to DD... and I instantly fell in love with him!!
Then I discovered the Director's Cut version, and I have to say this is much better than the first one. It's 30 minutes longer and has a secondary plotline which explains many dark spots in the first one. Plus, it's a darker, grittier movie, which, in my opinion, is much more faithful to the original atmosphere in ... Read More
Rating: - Another good Marvel Movie
Daredevil has been in the Marvel Comics Universe since 1964. In that time, he's gone through many changes. (The same can be said for just about any comic super hero.)
It's a great challenge to create a Super Hero movie. The movie must appeal to a wide range of viewers, ranging from those of us who were there in the beginning, to those who've seen the comics in the decades since, and those who've never read the comics.
In my opinion, the best super hero movies honor the comic ... Read More
Rating: - Daredevil (director's cut)
excellent purchase again, fast turn around and exactly what you expect to get, if not more than you expect to get
Rating: - The Kingpin flies low over star crossed lovers
Jennifer Garner actually can do this stuff...it makes you feel sorry for Ben
Affleck having to do fight scenes with her. The ending just isn't your "Kill Bill" blood everywhere revenge. It is a sad story with an kind of upbeat point of view with a mystery of the Mother's necklace.
From a Marvel comics point of view, it is an upgrade for the second line superhero, the Daredevel, to put him in the ranks of Spiderman and Batman.
Ben Affleck is too gentle a fellow for this type of role ... Read More
Rating: - One of the Best Marvel Movies
The Director's Cut of Mark Steven Johnson's Daredevil is a much better film than its theatrical cut, mostly because of the fact that there's more depth to this cut. In my opinion, Marvel has had only two real failures, Hulk (2003) and The Punisher (2004), and those films are being remade as we speak, in the form of The Incredible Hulk and Punisher: War Zone, with TIH scheduled for release on June 13, 2008 and P:WZ set for release on December 5, 2008. Like I stated in the title, Daredevil (2003) is now ... Read More
